Increasing efforts have been devoted to promoting sustainable demolition waste management (DWM) from a life cycle thinking perspective. To this end, facilitating sustainability-oriented decision-making for DWM planning requires a sustainability asses...

Green roofs are nature-based solutions with multiple benefits for the urban environment, but they have specific polymeric components in their structure that cause a carbon footprint. This scoping review highlights the technological advance in reusing...

Agricultural wastes (AWs) generated from farming practices pose environmental threats if not properly disposed of or recycled through biological processes. Mushroom production presents a sustainable solution by converting AWs into highly nutritious f...

In recent years, the development of a circular economy of plastic products in the automotive industry has been pursued by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) not only due to strategic premises by the European Commission but also due to an increas...

The aim of this work was to study the purification of silicon kerf loss waste (KLW) by a combination of single-acid leaching followed by inductive melting at high temperatures with an addition of fluidized bed reactor (FBR) silicon granules. The KLW...

The use of anaerobic fermentation to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs) is an environmentally sustainable alternative for cheese whey (CW) valorization. This study evaluates the effect of pH control on the conversion of organic matter to VFAs from C...

This article analyzes Reverse Logistics (RL) practices associated with the concept of Circular Economy (CE), comparing studies conducted before and after the implementation of the National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP) in Brazil. Data from companies in t...

The utilization of waste generated from industrial production is a burden to overcome for society to reach a circular economy. Usually, production waste is associated with low-quality materials compared to its natural counterparts. In some cases, hig...

The concept of the circular economy represents the most relevant mainstream approach to reducing the negative environmental impact of waste. Anaerobic digestion has proved to be one of the leading and widely adopted techniques for sewage sludge treat...

Due to its acidic nature and high fluoride concentration, hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) is commonly used for neutralization and fluoride control in semiconductor wastewater treatment. This study investigated the efficacy of treating high fluoride-containin...
