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

Impact of biodegradable bioplastics on anaerobic co-digestion of household organic waste and wastewater sludge

Ferreri M., Pedullà A., Pangallo D., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.

Topic:

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The growing adoption of biodegradable bioplastics, such as Mater-Bi (MB) and Crystalline Polylactic Acid (CPLA), as substitutes for conventional plastics has raised questions about their environmental behaviour. This research investigates how these two materials de-grade during anaerobic co-...Read more

Impact of Straw Substrate Particle Size on the Mechanical Properties of Mycelium Based Composite Materials

(Corresponding) Bush J., Mavroulidou M., Sopeoglou E.

Topic:

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

This research investigates the application of fungi to the existing linear agricultural and forestry economies to create more circular economic models, reduce CO2 emis-sions, and produce building materials aligning with ac-tion plans of European governments, towards climate neutrality by 2050. In...Read more

Recovery of aged plastics from waste stored in bales

(Corresponding) D'Amato M., Buonerba A., (Corresponding) Oliva G., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.

Topic:

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Since 1994, baled waste has symbolized the waste management crisis in the Campania Region (Italy). In response to the long-term environmental burden caused by their storage, a regional strategy was launched in 2015, leading to the construction of two dedicated treatment facilities in Caivano and...Read more

Valorisation of Marine Polypropylene Waste: Integrity Assessment and Recycling Performance

(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Kyriakakis E., Efthimiadou E., Papanikos P., Filippidis A., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.

Topic:

4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Marine plastic pollution represents a persistent global environmental challenge, with polypropylene (PP) being a prevalent component among marine litter. Building on CEST 2023, this study advances PP debris classification and recyclability assessment, introducing a systematic approach for assessing...Read more
