Another critical challenge is the life cycle analysis of MXenes in the ecosystem and evaluation of their prospective toxic effects [36]. Exposure to MXenes and their derivates may have an impact on humans and other living organisms. Like other nanomaterials, the primary exposure routes could be...
China has invested a major effort in seven landmark campaigns to keep the skies blue, control pollution caused by diesel trucks, protect and restore the Yangtze River ecosystem, improve the water environment of the Bohai ...
Here, we show that the appearance of new cryptocoins can be well described by a sub-linear power-law (Heaps’ law) of the total crypto-market capitalization. At the same time, we propose a model that well reproduces the evolution of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Our model suggests that ...
The usable e-waste can be repurposed and reused, and it plays a supply role in product repair. Refurbishment refers to product recovery so the e-waste product can be used as the new one. For example, repurposing smart touch phones for parking meters is considered a sustainable CE strategy ...
OBP is also making a big impact when it comes to recycling. OBP is derived from abandoned plastic waste, such as milk jugs, shopping bags, and laundry detergent bottles, actively mitigating the alarming flow of plastics into our oceans and helping to protect our planet’s delicate ecosystem. ...
as a model that makes it possible to reintroduce waste into the production chain in order to reduce pressure on natural resources. This new paradigm leads to a change in the very concept of waste, which is now considered a resource, since, in large part, it can be reused. This enormous ...
energy-ecosystem nexus in China’s Hehuang region (Feng et al.2016); the quantification of the impacts of water resources allocation on the water-energy-food-society nexus in China’s Hanjiang River basin (Zeng et al.2022); an assessment of the water-energy-food nexus and resource ...
We havemapped out specific sustainable impact goalsdivided into Planet, People, and Community pillars. These goals encompass our complete ecosystem, protecting and empowering people and communities and environmental protection and restoration. We pride ourselves on practising sustainability and striving...
Such a Nexus can be defined as the very close links amongst the three elements (WEF) and how changes in one of them can have impacts on the other two (individually or both together) (Fig. 1). For countries worldwide, the WEF Nexus affects national water, energy, and food security and...
