The overconsumption of plastic packaging has alarming repercussions on the environment, notably through waste accumulation in public spaces and clogged drains. This study identifies factors driving plastic proliferation, analyzes their impacts, and p...
Plastic materials are widely used for packaging due to their versatility and availability. Global production, mainly from petrochemicals, is estimated at 380 million tons, increasing annually by 4%. Packaging plastics have the shortest lifespan and c...
Steel consumption in the construction sector is one of the main contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, developing processes for the reuse of steel-based products with lower environmental impacts is essential for the sustainabilit...
Developing sustainable ceramic formulations that integrate industrial by-products addresses the high energy and raw material demands of refractory manufacturing while advancing circular economy goals. This study investigates the recycling of chamotte...
Vinasse a byproduct of ethanol manufacturing, is a challenge for ethanol producers which possesses a high organic content that presents a considerable environmental threat. This complicates its management and treatment utilizing standard technologies...
The REPowerEU plan is aimed at a target of 35 bcm of biomethane annually by 2030, up from 4 bcm in 2023, requiring about EUR 37 billion in investment. Food waste is identified as a key feedstock, characterized by discrete homogeneity, although its av...
This study investigated the mechanical performance and durability of concretes produced with varying proportions of recycled coarse aggregate from construction and demolition waste (CDW), ranging from 0% to 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregat...
While mechanical dewatering is widely used in faecal sludge treatment, the agricultural potential of mechanically dewatered faecal sludge (MDFS) combined with anaerobic digestion (AD) remains underexplored, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where nu...
Water hyacinth is an invasive weed that can valorize through the production of hydrolytic enzymes via solid-state culture. This study explores the application of Trichoderma harzianum in producing xylanases and endoglucanases on water hyacinth beds....
The escalating global water crisis, coupled with the unsustainable accumulation of industrial and urban waste, demands innovative solutions that align with circular economy principles. This review explores the transformative potential of waste-derive...
