Benthic Marine Litter in Three Greek Gulfs: Are Mean Density Estimates Truly Representative?

(Corresponding) Kouvara K., Xirotagarou P., Christodoulou D., Dimas X., Ioakeimidis C., Geraga M., Papatheodorou G.

Topic:

3. PLASTICS IN THE ENVIRONMENT

In this study, seafloor litter loads were compared across three major gulfs in Greece—Saronikos, Thermaikos, and Patras Gulf—by analyzing and synthesizing existing datasets from published research. Particular emphasis is placed on evaluating depth related spatial patterns, methodological...Read more

Turning Plastic Waste into Power: Pyrolysis for Sustainable Industrial Energy

(Corresponding) Koumpakis D., Vlachokostas C., Michailidou A., Savva C.

Topic:

11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

The research describes the creation of a basic pyrolysis system which industrial facilities can use to generate energy from their plastic waste. The system transforms 360 tons of plastic waste yearly into 160 tons of synthetic pyrolysis oil which powers a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. The...Read more
