Rapid expansion of the global textile industry has accelerated both resource consumption and the scale of associated waste streams. An emerging body of recycling technology research aims to mitigate these impacts by enabling more circular material su...

This study explores how 130 future teachers (FTs) perceive and address massive waste generation when it is framed through two socio-environmental contexts: waste export from affluent to vulnerable countries and microplastic pollution in natural envir...

Bangladesh generates approximately 3000 tons of plastic waste daily, and high mismanagement leads to substantial discharge into soils, rivers, and oceans. Limited research exists on plastic pollution along Cox’s Bazar in southeastern Bangladesh...

Deposit Refund Systems (DRS) are widely adopted in many European countries as effective mechanisms for increasing recycling rates and promoting circular-economy practices. Greece is currently preparing for the introduction of a national DRS for bever...

Innovations in manual waste sorting have stagnated for decades, despite the increasing global demand for efficient recycling solutions. The recAIcle system introduces an innovative AI-powered assistance system designed to modernise manual waste sorti...

Wastes, biomasses, and nanoparticles have motivated reformulations of adhesives in the wood-based-panel industry. This study investigated the incorporation of glass wool (GW) waste as a filler material in urea–formaldehyde (UF) adhesive, evalua...

This research presents a cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a modern behind-the-ear hearing aid system, with the objective of assessing its environmental impacts and identifying areas for improvement and innovation. The assessment, develo...

The recovery of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is essential to reduce environmental impacts and promote circular economy strategies. This study developed a sustainable and scalable process for the recovery and complete valori...

The valorization of agricultural by-products such as beetroot stalks (BSs) offers a sustainable strategy for reducing food waste while enhancing nutritional value of staple foods. This study investigates the incorporation of BS powder, an agricultura...

The growing environmental pollution and the imminent depletion of natural resources highlight the need for alternative building materials derived from renewable sources, including those that promote waste recycling and biodegradability. One promising...
