Integrating Lean Construction (LC), the Circular Economy (CE), and Construction 5.0 (C5.0) remains challenging in emerging delivery contexts. This difficulty increases when procurement routines determine which practices become enforceable across tend...
Indonesia, as a major global textile exporter, faces substantial sustainability challenges due to its linear production model, which generates massive volumes of post-industrial polyester waste (PIPW). However, reliable data and recycling pathways re...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sanitary waste (SW) are not usually quantified in institutional inventories, which limits the ability to assess its management and associated carbon footprint. This study establishes emission factors (EF) for SW ge...
The strong adhesion between cathode materials and aluminium (Al) foil substrates presents a significant challenge in the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). Conventionally, high temperatures and high concentrations of costly organic solv...
Amid growing environmental pressure and increasing demand for resource sustainability, the efficient recovery of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has become a critical challenge in the field of resource recycling. Therefore, a...
Granite sawdust is a by-product in the process of stone processing, which is usually piled up, thus easily causing environmental pollution. To achieve resource utilization, granite sawdust was used as a partial substitution of cement in this work. Th...
Rising global municipal solid waste (MSW) generation poses severe environmental and resource challenges, necessitating sustainable management strategies beyond landfilling. This review critically synthesizes thermochemical waste-to-energy (WtE) techn...
Injection-molding purges are heterogeneous, bulky residues whose uncertain composition and irregular geometry hinder direct reinsertion, making cold shredding costly and maintenance-intensive. This work develops a low-infrastructure solar-assisted pr...
The large-scale dredging activities in port areas generate substantial quantities of dredged soil, leading to land occupation and disposal challenges, while industrial wastes such as fly ash and desulfurization gypsum remain underutilized. In this st...
Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) has been widely studied as a partial supplementary cementitious material; nonetheless, its hydration behavior and performance when combined with nanoscale modifiers remain insufficiently understood. The aim of this study...
The durability characteristics of inorganic mixtures incorporating recycled aggregates from rural residential construction and demolition waste with high red brick content remain inadequately elucidated. To illuminate their long-term serviceability,...
The depletion of natural resources remains an acute global problem, highlighting the importance of developing sustainable technologies that enable the simultaneous extraction of metals and recycling of waste. This paper describes a study of a technol...
This paper analyzes the evolution of packaging waste recycling rates in four Central and Eastern European EU Member States—Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania—in comparison with the EU-27 average over the period 2014–2023. The an...
This study explores the valorisation of apple pruning (AP) residues into sustainable carbonaceous adsorbents for dye-contaminated wastewater. Activated biochars (ABCs) were produced via single-step (ABC-1S) and two-step (ABC-2S) KOH activation, while...
Mineral processing may decisively influence recycled aggregate (RA) production, yet it is systematically underreported. This critical review screened 338 Scopus-indexed publications (2004–2024) and retained 204 studies after eligibility assessm...
This study investigated a feasible recycling and detoxification process for waste tire ash containing hazardous Zn and Al using acid leaching, followed by layered double hydroxide (LDH) synthesis. The novelty of this work is the direct conversion of...
Used lubricating oils (ULOs) represent one of the largest hazardous liquid waste streams globally and pose significant environmental risks if improperly managed. This study presents a structured review of ULO management pathways, including regenerati...
Phosphogypsum is one of the most widely produced gypsum-containing wastes. Therefore, researchers worldwide are exploring ways to recycle them. It is most often considered as an alternative to natural gypsum in the production of calcium sulfate hemih...
This study investigates the material recycling potential of discarded wind instrument reeds (Arundo donax), which are conventionally incinerated, by compounding them with thermoplastics (thermoplastic polyolefin, TPO; polybutylene succinate, PBS). Af...
This study evaluates the pyrolysis of recycled linear low-density and low-density polyethylene (rLLDPE/rLDPE) blends for producing wax suitable as a precursor for corrosion-resistant coatings. Experiments were performed in a horizontal quartz tubular...
Glass is a highly recyclable material that provides substantial environmental benefits, including savings in raw materials and energy as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions. To ensure the production of high-quality secondary raw materials, container...
