Improving the quality and quantity of source-separated household food waste in areas of different socio-economic characteristics: A case study from Lübeck, Germany
(Corresponding) Koerner I., Walk S., Deegener S., Wardle D.
Topic:
Food waste
A method aiming at improving source-separation performance of household food waste (FW) was investigated in two areas with different socio-economic characteristics in Lübeck, Germany. This included the test of a new FW collection system including the distribution of small collection buckets to each...Read more
Preparation of carbon nanotubes from plastic solid wastes over magnetic nickel ferrite catalysts
Lopes J., Roman F., Santos Silva A., (Corresponding) Diaz de Tuesta J., Lenzi G., (Corresponding) Silva A., (Corresponding) Faria J., Gomes H.
Topic:
Solid waste management
This work presents the development of magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) from plastic solid waste (PSW). For this purpose, diverse catalytic nanoparticles based on Fe, Ni and Al were prepared by impregnation of alumina or co-precipitation of Ni, Fe and Al nitrate salts with NH4OH, followed by...Read more

The Lombard Dairy Industry in the Perspective of Circular Economy: Degree of Application and Improvement Potentials
(Corresponding) Mehner E., Fantin V., Pizzichini D., Vergalli S., Vaccari M.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Circular Economy is an economic concept, aiming at increasing resource efficiency, recirculating resource streams and minimizing waste of an industrial process. Thereby, ideally, environmental impacts can be decreased while the profitability of the considered process is improved. This concept is...Read more
Biobased Lubricants within a Circular Economy Concept: Utilization of Spent Coffee Grounds as an Alternative Sustainable Feedstock
(Corresponding) Dodos G., Deligiannis A., Karonis D., Zannikos F.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The economy is gradually transitioning to a circular model that extends resources, reduces waste and requires a great deal of creative thinking. Both established and emerging global economies view waste as a bioresource for our next generation energy, chemicals, or platform molecules and materials...Read more
Designing sustainable processes for the valorization of industrial and environmental waste streams towards industrializable polyhydroxyalkanoates
(Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Antonopoulou G., Kokkinopoulou I., Ladakis D., Tragoulias K., Zhang Y., Yan Q., Nan J., Pissaridi K., Spiliotis V., Ladikos D., Moutsatsou P., Koutinas A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
In the present study different environmental and industrial waste streams are assessed as feedstock for the production of bioplastics adequate to be used for food packaging applications or for the formation of fully biodegradable garbage bags. For the production of bioplastics i.e...Read more
