The fast-paced economic development in India has resulted in higher energy use and the generation of solid wastes, posing immense environmental and health problems. With a view to solving these, this review investigates the incorporation of artificia...
Recycling thermoset polyurethanes is hindered by their cross-linked structures and chemically stable urethane bonds. Although chemo-enzymatic approaches offer promise, known urethanases remain inefficient under industrial glycolysis conditions. Here,...
The rapid expansion of waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities underscores the need for sustainable management of incinerator bottom ash (IBA) to advance circular economy goals. However, China's national potential, economic, and environmental performance in...
The rapid deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has created a growing challenge in managing end-of-life panels. While many studies project future recycling potential, they are often limited by the lack of data on existing distributed PV insta...
With the rapid increase in the production of retired power batteries, the potential environmental risks during recycling must urgently be identified and assessed. This study presented a novel screening framework for pollutant prioritization utilizing...
The quality of recycled plastics is crucial to make them competitive in more demanding applications and to extend their range of applications. However, there are many influencing factors that can reduce the quality and limit the use of recyclates. On...
Reverse vending machines (RVMs) are essential for promoting waste sorting at the source by offering incentives for recycling. However, current RVMs, which primarily rely on expensive sensors such as barcode scanners and computer vision systems, face ...
As industrialization and the development of smart cities progress, effective waste collection, classification, and management have become increasingly vital. Recycling processes depend on accurately identifying and restoring waste materials to their ...
Biocatalysts like enzymes have proven to be faster and efficient in metal bioleaching from printed circuit boards (PCBs) than microbe-mediated bioleaching. However, studies on enzymatic metal bioleaching from PCBs are mainly confined to the shake-fla...
