Competencies of the young generation regarding the circular economy
(Corresponding) Kupczyk T.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The main objective of the research was to identify, analyse and diagnose the self-assessment of representatives of the young generation regarding their competence in the field of the circular economy. In order to verify the hypotheses and answer the research questions, the method of analysis and...Read more
“AquaSPICE – Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations”
(Corresponding) Arampatzis G.
Topic:
EU Projects showcase
Either we rethink how we use water or we threaten the availability. Even though there is overall enough water to meet the world’s growing needs, it is necessary to make changes in how water is used, managed and shared. The EU-funded AquaSPICE project will increase awareness in resource efficiency...Read more

Shallow Seafloor Litter: Tracking their Sources and Spatiotemporal Trends in the Presence of Oceanographic Drivers through efficient monitoring
(Corresponding) Fakiris E., Papatheodorou G., Kordella S., Christodoulou D., Galgani F., Geraga M.
Topic:
Marine Litter - Accumulated experience and new perspectives
Seafloor litter is the least exploited component of marine litter. The spatially variable distribution of their densities over time is a cumulative effect of sources’ intensities and natural drivers like wind/wave and current conditions in interaction with seafloor morphology. Making safe...Read more

Exploring the Potential of Renewable Energy Sources in the Philippines: Challenges and Opportunities
(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Ado R.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The Philippines, an archipelago with significant renewable energy resources, might switch to a sustainable energy system. This report examines the Philippine energy environment, identifies renewable energy sources, analyses renewable energy development problems, and offers solutions and policy...Read more
A novel synergistic bioleaching approach to phosphor powder recycling
(Corresponding) Duffield Healy M., Robinson L., Farnaud S.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Efficient scalable rare earth separation processes are a topic of great importance as technologies such as renewable energy and electrical vehicles begin to take root. To assist in the amelioration of this issue this paper reports a method by which low pH and high pH leaching are used...Read more

Application of Ozonation-Based Processes to Reduce Environmental Impact of Waste Antibiotics
(Corresponding) Žgajnar Gotvajn A., Derco J., Čehovin M.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
The aim of the work was to determine the efficiency of direct ozonation, ozonation at elevated pH, ozonation at elevated pH with the addition of hydrogen peroxide, catalytic ozonation, photo-catalytic ozonation, ozonation with Fenton oxidation and ozonation with photo-Fenton oxidation for removal...Read more
Life Cycle Assessment of grape production. Potential environmental benefits of an alternative solution for fungal diseases control
Zoli M., Pavesi R., Orsi L., (Corresponding) Bacenetti J.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
In the project Grape4Vine an innovative solution was developed. In detail, the Grape4vine project aims at exploiting winegrowing byproducts that would be normally treated as wastes, to produce biotechnological means for controlling downy mildew and powdery mildew in the circular economy context. In...Read more

Wastewater Reclamation – opportunities and challenges
(Corresponding) Zubrowska-Sudol M., Knap-Baldyga A., Czajkowska J.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Water scarcity poses a growing global challenge, intensified by climate change, population growth, and rising water demand. Municipal wastewater reclamation offers a sustainable solution, transforming waste into a resource. This study, conducted within the ReNutriWater project, evaluates the...Read more

Circular Economy through Berry Pomace Valorization
(Corresponding) Ispiryan A., Butu A., Jariene E.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
This investigation delineates the economic aspects associated with the valorization of pomace derived from ten distinct berry varieties within the context of the circular bioeconomy paradigm. Through the implementation of a comprehensive marketing costs and returns (MCR) analysis, this research...Read more
Fermentation-Driven Enhancement of Berry Pomace: Proximate Composition and Functional Properties Evaluation
(Corresponding) Ispiryan A., Butu A., Jariene E.
Topic:
4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
This investigation centers on the change of berry pom-ace via fermentation, aimed at augmenting its nutri-tional profile and functional characteristics, within the framework of a circular economy paradigm. By employ-ing a thorough proximate composition analysis, the study assesses the moisture, ash...Read more
