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

Sustainable production of Omega-3-rich fish oil from Tuna by-products using green extraction process
Pedullà A., Ferreri M., Pangallo D., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
2. CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human health, yet the increasing global demand necessitates the exploration of sustainable alternative sources, such as fishery by-products. An innovative and environmentally friendly extraction method, previously applied to small fish by-products, was employed...Read more
Urban settlements adaptation. Measures for neighbourhood plans
(Corresponding) Cicalese F., Grimaldi M., Fasolino I.
Topic:
12. CLIMATE CHANGE
Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to the presence of a high proportion of population, economic activities, real estate and water, energy and transport infrastructure; extreme weather events climate events such as heavy rainfall, droughts and heat waves, cause impacts...Read more
PhotoBioValue project: Linking N:P Ratios and Nitrogen Sources to Microalgae-Based Wastewater Bioremediation and Biomass Valorisation
(Corresponding) Sousa S., Machado C., Esteves A., Salgado E., Dias J., Vilaça J., Pires J.
Topic:
1. WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE
Microalgae-based systems offer potential for wastewater bioremediation by extracting nutrients while producing biomass for various uses. However, variations in wastewater properties, particularly the source of nitrogen and phosphorus, their concentration, and the N:P ratio, impact treatment...Read more
Advancing Organisational Life Cycle Assessment in the Fashion Industry: Strategies for Sustainable Corporate Practices
Ahmed S., (Corresponding) Liscio M., Sospiro P., Voukkali I., Zorpas A.
Topic:
5. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
The fashion industry, particularly fast fashion, is one of the most environmentally destructive sectors, accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions and consuming ap-proximately 93 billion cubic meters of water annually. Textile production alone is responsible for 20% of global clean water...Read more

Forest Resilience, Precipitation, and Ecosystem Service Value: A Correlation and Trend Analysis
Nwachukwu P., (Corresponding) Berti-Equille L.
Topic:
6. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Ecosystem service value (ESV) is critical for understanding ecosystems' economic benefits and their responses to environmental change. This study uses Earth Observation (EO) data, statistics, and machine learning methods to evaluate ESV trends across multiple continents from 2000 to 2024...Read more
Restoration of burned forest areas in Galicia (NW Spain)
