Benchmarking indicators to assess the level of circular economy strategy in Local Level

Loizia P., Inglezakis V., Navarro Pedreno J., Lasaridi K., (Corresponding) Zorpas A.
Topic: 
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Sustainable waste management is an important global environmental agenda in the twenty- first century. The quantity of global waste increases as the population and the level of resource consumption rise over time. The increased generation of waste is also producing bigger environmental deprivation...Read more

Multivariate Statistical Analyses of Groundwater Hydrochemical Data of Tirnavos Sub-basin (Central Greece)

(Corresponding) Vrouhakis I., Pisinaras V., Panagopoulos A., Stamatis G.
Topic: 
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
Abstract. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) were applied in the groundwater hydrochemical parameters dataset of the Tirnavos alluvial sub basin-central Greece. PCA results suggest occurrence of four principal components both for dry and wet periods. Results...Read more

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USING BOTH CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DATA

(Corresponding) Dailianis S., Charalambous N., Foiniris S., Komodromou A., Cocilovo C., Dormousoglou M., Lyberatos G., Ntaikou I.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
The present study evaluated the operational efficiency of a constructed wetland (CW) located at Andritsaina/Krestena municipality (Western Greece, Peloponnese, Greece), using a battery of tests and bioassays. Specifically, raw WWs entering the CW basins with broadleaf cattail Typha latifolia (raw-...Read more

Quantitative and qualitative assessment of food waste of the hospitality sector in Greece

Lasaridi K., Manios T., (Corresponding) Abeliotis K., Terzis E., Chroni C., Galliou F., Panteli V.
Topic: 
Food waste
In Greece, approximately 1.8 million tonnes of food waste are generated each year, mostly disposed of in landfill. Food waste is of concern for businesses in the hospitality and food service sectors, which in Greece dispose of an estimated 100,000 tonnes of food waste annually, almost 6% of the...Read more
