The waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies are now recovering energy and materials from over 300 million tonnes of municipal solid wastes worldwide. Extensive studies have investigated substituting natural construction materials with WTE residues to relieve the environmental cost of natural resource depletion....
Waste-to-energy projects get down and dirty by scavenging waste to score hydrogen: Part 1 An enormous amount of solid waste is dumped in landfills, such as the Palmetto Landfill in South Carolina, which produce waste methane gas that can By Vicki P . McConnell, North American Correspondent Fu...
Semiconductor biohybrids integrating the merits of living cells and semiconductor materials have the potential to shift the current energy-intensive chemical production system to a more sustainable one by offering efficient solar-to-chemical conversion. However, cost-competitive and environmentally friendly sc...
Taking notes is a natural way to keep track of busy projects and get the creative juices flowing. But why take notes on paper when waste-free alternatives abound? Most word processing software includes an easy highlighter tool to mark important sections of your notes. But if you’re going t...

There are several treatment and disposal methods available, including composting, recycling, landfilling, and waste-to-energy incineration. However, the most common method of waste disposal worldwide is open dumping, a practice widely seen in low-income countries. Read more ...
Food loss and waste (FLW) hampers global food security, human health and environmental sustainability. However, monitoring and benchmarking FLW reduction is often constrained by the lack of reliable and consistent data, especially for emerging economies.

Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food loss and waste (FLW) are not well characterized from cradle to grave. Here GHG emissions due to FLW in supply chain and waste management systems are quantified, followed by an assessment of the GHG emission
Versions Notes Abstract This paper aims to propose improvements to plastic waste management performance via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using a survey’s structured questionnaire and hypothesis testing. The methodology has been applied to the metropolis of Salvador, Brazil...
