Flexible plastic packaging (FPP) constitutes one of the largest post-consumer plastic streams processed in recycling facilities. To address the key challenges of its sorting and quality control, this study developed and tested a classification proced...
The efficient co-utilization of biomass and waste plastics is a key method to address the widely concerned environmental problem and replace traditional energy. Co-pyrolysis behaviors and synergistic effects of furfural residues (FR) and polyethylene...
Landfills rank third among the anthropogenic sources of methane gas in the atmosphere, hence there is a need for greater emphasis on the quantification of landfill methane emission for mitigating environmental degradation. However, the estimation and...
The accumulation of construction solid waste (CSW) leads to the waste of land resources and environmental pollution, becoming a significant social problem. Identifying the amount of high-value CSW is essential for assessing the value of accumulated C...
Global waste generation is projected to reach 3.40 billion tons by 2050, necessitating improved waste sorting for effective recycling and progress toward a circular economy. Achieving this transformation requires higher sorting intensity through inte...
Decentralized thermal treatment is a common method for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in rural areas. However, evaluating the effect of incineration has always been challenging owing to the difficult and time-consuming measurements involved. He...
This article presents a comparative analysis of the circularity and cost-efficiency of two distinct construction material recycling processes: ML-based automated sorting (MLAS) and conventional sorting technologies. Empirical data was collected from ...
We explore the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to forecast door-to-door waste collection, addressing the challenges in municipal solid waste (MSW) management. ML models offer a promising solution to optimize waste collection operation...
Recycling waste glass (WG) can be time-consuming, costly, and impractical. However, its incorporation into concrete significantly reduces environmental impact and carbon emissions. This paper introduces machine learning (ML) to civil engineering to o...
Efficient waste management is essential to minimizing environmental harm as well as encouraging sustainable progress. The escalating volume and sophistication of waste present significant challenges, prompting innovative methods for effective waste c...
