Nearly half of the food produced in Canada is lost or wasted, leading to negative environmental impacts and contributing rising levels insecurity. The circular economy (CFE) has been proposed by stakeholders policymakers as a potential framework for solving waste problem through variety business non­profit food-related reduction prevention initiatives, creating community-based system. This research asks: How do indivi­duals working sector mobilize CFE practices their work? What are motivations, opportunities, abilities influencing those emerging Metro Vancouver? To answer these questions, this ana­lyzed interview data from (n = 22) Vancouver CFE. study applies motivation opportu­nity ability (MOA) guide anal­ysis. findings indicate that there conflicting priorities approaches Vancouver, lack cohesion among initiatives barriers more equitable Stakeholders notice competing visions best reduce para­dox managing instead prevention.

Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable bioresource for the production of biofuels biochemical products. The classical biorefinery process lignocellulosic degradation conversion comprises three stages, i.e., pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, fermentation. However, complicated pretreatment process, high cost cellulase production, insufficient performance fermentation strains have restricted industrialization biorefinery. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) technology combines enzyme in a single bioreactor using specific microorganism or consortium microbes represents another approach worth exploring chemicals from biomass. present review summarizes progress made research CBP conversion. In this review, different strategies lignocellulose are reviewed, including with natural lignocellulose-degrading microorganisms as chassis, biosynthetic microbial co-culturing systems. This provides new perspectives insights on utilization low-cost feedstock biochemicals.

Abstract Extensive anthropogenic activity has led to the accumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in diverse ecosystems, which presents significant challenges for environment its inhabitants. Utilizing microalgae as a bioremediation tool can present potential solution these challenges. Microalgae have gained attention promising biotechnological detoxifying environmental pollutants. This is due their advantages, such rapid growth rate, cost-effectiveness, high oil-rich biomass production, ease implementation. Moreover, microalgae-based remediation more environmentally sustainable not generating additional waste sludge, capturing atmospheric CO 2 , being efficient nutrient recycling algal production biofuels high-value-added products generation. Hence, achieve sustainability's three main pillars (environmental, economic, social). Microalgal mediate contaminated wastewater effectively through accumulation, adsorption, metabolism. These mechanisms enable reduce concentration heavy metals levels that are considered non-toxic. However, several factors, microalgal strain, cultivation technique, type pollutants, limit understanding removal mechanism efficiency. Furthermore, adopting novel technological advancements (e.g., nanotechnology) may serve viable approach address challenge refractory pollutants process sustainability. Therefore, this review discusses ability different species mitigate persistent industrial effluents, dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals. Also, paper provided insight into nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nanoparticle-based biosensors from immobilization on nanomaterials enhance open new avenue future advancing research regarding biodegradation
