From trash to treasure: The impact of consumer perception of bio-waste products in closed-loop supply chains
Increasing efforts are made to convert waste into new materials for replacing “traditional” ones. In particular urban bio-waste represents a primary source of concern for both government...
Data on the potential generation of energy from wind, solar and biomass is crucial for analysing their development, as it sets the limits on how much additional capacity it is feasible...
In 2015, the United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which include a target (12.3) on food waste. The target requires “by 2030, to halve per capita...
A critical and up-to-date review has been conducted on the latest individual valorization technologies aimed at the generation of value-added by-products from food wastes in the form of bio-fuels, bio-materials, value...
Halving per capita food waste and reducing food losses along production and supply chains is one of the objectives fixed by the United Nations among the Sustainable Development Goals...
About one third of the food produced globally is wasted along the food chain, representing a burden for the environment and an inefficiency of the food system. Tackling food waste is a priority...
This study assesses crop residues in the EU from major crops using empirical models to predict crop residues from yield statistics, and analyses the inter-annual variability of those estimates...
Bio-based materials play a key role in the transition from a fossil to a bio-based economy, and they are essential to the development of a more circular and decarbonized economy. Of particular interest is the use...
