Competencies of the young generation regarding the circular economy
(Corresponding) Kupczyk T.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
The main objective of the research was to identify, analyse and diagnose the self-assessment of representatives of the young generation regarding their competence in the field of the circular economy. In order to verify the hypotheses and answer the research questions, the method of analysis and...Read more
“AquaSPICE – Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations”
(Corresponding) Arampatzis G.
Topic:
EU Projects showcase
Either we rethink how we use water or we threaten the availability. Even though there is overall enough water to meet the world’s growing needs, it is necessary to make changes in how water is used, managed and shared. The EU-funded AquaSPICE project will increase awareness in resource efficiency...Read more

Shallow Seafloor Litter: Tracking their Sources and Spatiotemporal Trends in the Presence of Oceanographic Drivers through efficient monitoring
(Corresponding) Fakiris E., Papatheodorou G., Kordella S., Christodoulou D., Galgani F., Geraga M.
Topic:
Marine Litter - Accumulated experience and new perspectives
Seafloor litter is the least exploited component of marine litter. The spatially variable distribution of their densities over time is a cumulative effect of sources’ intensities and natural drivers like wind/wave and current conditions in interaction with seafloor morphology. Making safe...Read more

(Corresponding) Corpus R., Bayani M., Ado R.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
The Philippines, an archipelago with significant renewable energy resources, might switch to a sustainable energy system. This report examines the Philippine energy environment, identifies renewable energy sources, analyses renewable energy development problems, and offers solutions and policy...Read more
A Small Overview of the current, Natural & Affected Environments by Microplastics
(Corresponding) Mafina K., Robertson I.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
There is a growing concern and increasing evidence that microplastics in the World’s rivers and oceans are having an affect on marine environments; and ultimately into the food chain. Infrared Spectroscopy and Microscopy are well- established analytical techniques for defining, identifying and...Read more
Investigative Study on the Effectivity of Plant-Based Coagulants for the Siltation Pond of an Aggregate Crushing Plant in Southern Luzon, Philippines
Angus F., (Corresponding) Clemente E., Ballesteros Jr. F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Water quality and treatment are becoming of increasing concern. It is important to develop renewable bio-coagulants to treat turbid water. This study suggests plant-based coagulants as substitute for chemical coagulants. The plants used were Moringa oleifera (MO), Carica papaya (CP) seeds, and...Read more
Cornus Sanguinea Leaves Alcoholic Extract As Corrosion Inhibitor For Carbon Steel In Acidic Solutions
Xhanari K., (Corresponding) Farruku M., Xhaxhiu K., Kokalari E.
Topic:
Sustainable supply of raw materials
In recent years finding environmentally friendly and affordable sources to mitigate corrosion has become demanding in many industries due to the increased awareness related to environmental issues. Due to their readily availability, biodegradability, low toxicity and relatively low cost, plant...Read more
Analysing the indicators and the associated recommendations of household emission calculators
(Corresponding) Alexopoulos C., Karelis C., Keramidis P., Orfanou A., Lekkas D., Charalabidis Y.
Topic:
The impact of citizen science on environmental attitudes, behaviour and knowledge
Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are some of the most noted topics of the last years. Carbon footprint calculators provide an interesting solution when it comes to informing people about the above topic. These calculators try to estimate the carbon footprint, the total amount of...Read more
Heavy metal assessment in vineyard sludge. Copper lixiviation and recovery studies.
(Corresponding) YOHAI L., GARRIDO MOLINA C., RESINA GALLEGO M., LÓPEZ MESAS M., VALIENTE M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The use of copper-based compounds to prevent fungi diseases in vineyards have contributed to heavy metal accumulation in soil, vegetation and waste, causing a serious environmental and agro-industrial problem. One main issue is the waste generated both during and after wine production. This waste...Read more
RESEARCH ON THE POSSIBILITIES OF EVALUATION AND RECOVERY OF SLUDGE FROM SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Cernica G., (Corresponding) Constantın A., (Corresponding) Dumitrescu I., (Corresponding) Codreanu A.
Topic:
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BIOECONOMY
The characterization and recovery of sludge from sewage treatment plants involves understanding its composition and implementing strategies to extract valuable resources from this byproduct. Sludge characterization helps identify its properties, including organic and inorganic content, contaminants...Read more
