Preparation, characterisation and applications of bone char, a food waste-derived sustainable material: A review

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 339, P. 117896 - 117896

Published: April 18, 2023

The production of increasing quantities by-products is a key challenge for modern society; their valorisation - turning them into valuable compounds with technological applications the way forward, in line circular economy principles. In this review, conversion bones (by-products agro-food industry) bone char described. Bone obtained process pyrolysis, which converts organic carbon an inorganic graphitic one. Differently from standard biochar plant origin, however, also contains calcium phosphates, main component (often hydroxyapatite). combination phosphate and makes unique material, different possible uses. Here chars' environmental remediation, sustainable agriculture, catalysis electrochemistry are discussed; several aspects considered, including used to prepare char, preparation conditions, how these affect properties materials (i.e. porosity, surface area) its functional properties. advantages limitations chars comparison traditional discussed, highlighting directions research should take performances improve. Moreover, analysis on sustainability use included.

Consumer collectives in the circular economy: A systematic review and research agenda

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 45, P. 281 - 293

Published: Jan. 13, 2024

Despite the importance of social connections and communities in creating, maintaining advocating circular consumption patterns, role consumer collectives has not been adequately defined economy literature. Through a systematic review 145 articles from sustainability literature, novel conceptual framework was created to address this gap. The current study reveals that is multi-levelled recursive. First, presents how members collective shape group's characteristics share their capabilities for consumption. In turn, satisfy members' needs enable behavioural changes towards circularity. Second, influence other actors society by creating institutional plurality diffusing initiatives. Societal structures do merely collectives' courses action but also actions themselves. present contributes emerging field introducing multi-level, perspective on consumers' economy. It offers research agenda inspire further theoretical exploration topic. Furthermore, provides implications individual consumers, policy makers utilising identified mechanisms increase

How to select the best approach for circular economy assessment? 3D positioning framework, decision support tool and critical analysis for bio-based systems

Environmental Impact Assessment Review, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 106, P. 107493 - 107493

Published: March 23, 2024

Although the transition from linear to circular economy is being carried out by many different actors, there still not a well-established methodology for its assessment. In this paper, review of available approaches evaluating (technical and biological cycles) has been conducted. total, 2.113 information sources have revised 105 them were included in review. They categorised per level (macro, meso, micro nano), cycle (technical, or both) used, together with sector according NACE codes. Using information, positioning framework classifying appraisal options developed depicted 3D cube where each category represented one axes (level, cycle, methodology). Moreover, decision support tool created help triple helix stakeholders selecting most suitable approach they are looking for, i.e. initial question pose regarding how assess economy. Since main gap concerning identified at nano levels, critical analysis existing choices Finally, open areas future work towards promoting bioeconomy assessment identified.

The Nexus of Industry 4.0 and Circular Procurement: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(23), P. 15633 - 15633

Published: Nov. 24, 2022

In the wake of Industry 4.0, circular supply chain management has undergone radical transformations. Organizations have been able to boost their efficiency thanks incorporating 4.0 technologies such as big data analytics, internet things (IoT), blockchain, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc., into various functions. Since procurement (CP) is an essential part management, it can provide fresh chances for organizations become more efficient and sustainable. With support technologies, CP extra opportunities accelerating shift economy. Although research intersection continues advance, no review study examined implications in CP. Therefore, this aims address knowledge gap by systematically reviewing existing literature about applications A total 89 journal articles were selected from Scopus Web Science databases identify themes discussed set agenda future research. conceptual framework also developed evaluate antecedents, enablers, performance outcomes Industry-4.0-enabled Finally, concludes highlighting theoretical practical implications.
