This paper presents a novel recycling approach for porous/foamed crosslinked rotomolded polypropylene (xPP) parts, originally designed for lightweight and thermal insulation. The method uses a cryogenic-assisted shear pulverization technique to produ...
Energy consumption in buildings is linked to lighting technology. Light-emitting diode (LED) technology includes lamps and luminaires for general lighting applications. Due to their structure, LED lamps are expected to generate specific waste electri...
The significant environmental impact from fashion and textile industries has spurred interest in sustainable alternatives, especially for accessories like sequins and beads, whose usage has surged post-pandemic. This study explores the potential of u...
The automotive industry is under growing pressure from regulatory agencies to improve the recyclability of its plastic components. Simultaneously, manufacturers are adopting natural fiber composites in vehicles to reduce their carbon footprint and de...
Producing biochar from residual biomass is an opportunity for health, environmental, and economic benefits to farmers in small traditional parcels, which are widespread in Latin America. This study presents a life cycle assessment of biochar in two c...
The rising challenge of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste necessitates efficient collection methods to mitigate environmental impacts. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) approaches utilized...
Dog and cat faeces are a globally neglected issue that demands proper management. The poor handling of pet waste not only impacts environmental health but also contributes to community conflicts due to insufficient waste management practices. The obj...
In view of the increasing demand for secondary aluminum, which is intended to partially replace the very energy- and resource-intensive primary aluminum production, effective treatment methods can maintain the high quality level of light metal castin...
The escalating use of plastic materials in agricultural practices has substantially increased the amount of plastic waste directed to landfills, leading to significant environmental and ecological challenges. Conventional disposal methods have been f...
The increasing global demand for raw materials underscores the importance of lightweight construction and sustainable material use, drawing attention to composite techniques like galvanic coating of plastics. To support recycling efforts, the develop...
