Municipal solid waste management in island communities: existing experience and implementation possibilities for South Aegean Islands

Xanthopoulos P., (Corresponding) Papapostolou C., Kondili E., Stylianopoulou K.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Solid waste management in island communities is triggered by the limitation in the availability of resources, which in combination to the small amounts of wastes produced, renders the selection and sizing of the appropriate methods and infrastructures very challenging. Certain complexity to the...Read more

A detailed characterisation of household food waste and the implications of sorting behaviour on potentials for anaerobic digestion and nutrient recovery

(Corresponding) Walk S., Hausbeck G., Körner I.

Topic:

Food waste

This study investigates household food waste (HH FW) generation in two socio-economically different areas in Lübeck, Germany. The applied waste characterisation protocol provided a detailed insight into the generation and separation behavior of FW collected in the municipal collection system. In...Read more

The Circular Economy Shift for Business Models: Creating value from waste in the Peach Canning industry

(Corresponding) Paraskevopoulou C., Vlachos D.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

With the Circular Economy (CE) concept emerging, the reorganization of the supply chain (SC) and the reengineering of its processes is highlighted. In Greece, industrialized agriculture and more specifically the peach canning industry can be an important factor for the economy within and outside...Read more

Material flow analysis applied to a waste treatment plant in Lombardy (Italy)

(Corresponding) Castro F., Fabbri M., Vaccari M., Cutaia L.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Material flow analysis (MFA) allows to quantify inputs, outputs and stocks of a system and to communicate results visually. It can be used for calculating process effectiveness, losses and for identifying critical points within a system, being useful for strategically intervening in a corporative...Read more

A comparative study of alkali activated slag cement concretes with carbonate and silicate activators.

Sanam I., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Alkali-activated cements are increasingly gaining interest as viable alternatives to Portland cement, because they are considerably reducing CO2 emissions compared to traditional Portland cements while maintaining or exceeding performance requirements commonly specified for construction...Read more

A comparative assessment of alkali-activated stabilisers including waste materials, for the treatment of swelling-shrinking soils

(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gray C., Gunn M.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Swelling-shrinking soils (also known as expansive soils) experience very considerable volume changes upon changes in moisture content, thus causing major damages to lightweight structures, pavements, slopes and utilities. To counteract this problem chemical stabilisation of this type of soil with...Read more

The environmental benefits of small-scale timber frame dwellings for utilization of forested and rural remote areas in Greece

(Corresponding) Psilovikos T., (Corresponding) Stergiadou A., Moutsopoulos D.

Topic:

Spatial environmental planning

Wood is the only renewable material produced by photosynthesis. Wood has the ability to preserve the stored carbon in its molecular structure as long as remain within a structure. Small-scalelightweight timber dwellings are gaining recognition in Europe after the dominance of concrete and steel...Read more

Implementing Circular Economy in Wineries: The Case of Greece

(Corresponding) Kounani A., Sotiropoulou E., Seleventi M.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

Grape is considered one of the largest fruit crops in the world, since its 2017 production, the vast majority of which was used in winemaking, reached 74 MT globally and 24 MT in the EU. The main target of this paper is to highlight the urgent need for transforming the linear model into a circular...Read more
