Industrial Symbiosis Practices: A Case Study of Türkiye and Denmark

The term "industrial symbiosis (IS)" refers to a cooperative strategy where industrial actors share services and exchange physical resources. This method improves resource efficiency and lessens the environmental effects of industrial operations within the network. It is a cooperative method in which businesses trade and reuse physical resources such as by-products, water, and energy, as well as share services such as waste management and infrastructure. It has several advantages, such as (i) lowering greenhouse gas emissions through energy, process, input, disposal, and transportation savings, as well as fuel substitution; (ii) cutting energy expenses; (iii) diverting waste from landfills; (iv) avoiding the use of virgin materials; (v) lowering transportation and logistics costs; (vi) lowering pollution to land, water, and air; (vii) lowering industrial water use; (viii) lowering hazardous waste; (ix) creating economic value from waste material; and (x) simplifying environmental legislation and regulation compliance. In Türkiye and Denmark, the number of industrial companies is rapidly increasing. These industries consume many resources (such as raw materials, water, electricity, natural gas, coal, etc.) and generate a large amount of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste. IS is gaining popularity as an approach for improving the sustainability of industrial systems. The efforts to develop IS have emerged as a critical issue over the last decade in these two European countries. The paper presents the current implementation of IS in Türkiye and Denmark’s process sectors, focusing on well-known IS practices.

The influence of fine recycled asphalt pavement aggregates on the properties of self-compacting mortar in fresh and hardened state

Sustainable development is a contemporary concern in the field of asphalt pavements, as road construction consumes a significant amount of new aggregates. Furthermore, road maintenance necessitates the milling of old pavement layers, which generates a substantial quantity of bituminous material waste. This study explores the use of recycled sand from asphalt waste as a substitute for 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of natural sand in self-compacting mortar, aiming to achieve both sustainable and economical asphalt production. The differences in physical properties between natural sand (NS) and fine recycled asphalt pavement (FRAP) aggregates are analyzed and compared. The characteristics of the various self-compacting mortars are measured, including spread, flow time, as well as compressive and tensile strength, shrinkage and sorptivity. Compared to the control mortar, the mortars containing RPAS exhibit a rougher surface, additional pores, and more complex pore structures. The need for superplasticizers increases with the substitution rate, as do the rheological parameters. The results indicate that recycled mortar can be an alternative to natural sand, although this comes with negative impacts on the mechanical properties of the mortar. Nonetheless, these effects can be mitigated when considering their economic and environmental implications.

An Optimization Framework for Waste Treatment Center Site Selection Considering Nighttime Light Remote Sensing Data and Waste Production Fluctuations

As urbanization accelerates, the management of urban solid waste poses increasingly intricate challenges. Traditional urban metrics, such as GDP and per capita consumption rates, have become inadequate for accurately reflecting the realities of waste generation; moreover, the linear correlation between these metrics and waste production is progressively diminishing. Consequently, this study introduces a novel methodology leveraging nighttime light remote sensing data to enhance the precision of urban solid waste production forecasts. By processing remote sensing data to mitigate noise and integrating it with conventional urban datasets, an innovative index system and predictive model were developed. Using Beijing as a case study, the gradient boosting regression algorithm yielded a prediction accuracy of 92%. Furthermore, in light of the substantial costs associated with waste recovery route planning and site selection for treatment facilities, this research further devised a location and distribution framework for waste treatment centers based on high-precision predictions of waste production while employing multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) alongside the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) for optimization. Distinct from prior studies, this study suggests that service point waste quantities are not fixed values but rather adhere to a normal distribution within specified ranges and thus provides a more realistic simulation of fluctuations in waste production while enhancing both the robustness and predictive accuracy of the model. In conclusion, by incorporating nighttime light remote sensing data along with advanced machine learning techniques, this study markedly improves forecasting accuracy for waste production while offering effective optimization strategies for site selection and recovery route planning—thereby establishing a robust data foundation aimed at refining urban solid waste management systems.

Incorporation of spent bleaching earth and glass sediment as an alternative raw material for the manufacture of eco-products based on fired clay

This study explores the use of two industrial residues: spent bleaching earth (SBE) and glass sediment (GS), as alternative raw materials in the production of ceramic materials from fired clay. The mixtures incorporating 0%, 10%, 30%, and 50% by weight of these residues, were examined. The impact of quantity and type of waste on product properties (density, water absorption, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity) was assessed against NTC 4205 standards. Incorporating 50% SBE reduced thermal conductivity by 35%, but increased porosity affected compressive strength. Glass sediment incorporation increased thermal conductivity but surpassed pure clay in mechanical behavior. The triphasic mix (20% GS, 10% SBE with lime) demonstrated optimal mechanical performance, meeting fired clay masonry unit standards. An eco-product prototype based on this mix was successfully manufactured, affirming that industrial waste is a viable alternative raw material, yielding ceramic materials with properties meeting or surpassing Colombian construction industry standards.

Achieving sustainable performance: synergistic effects of nano-silica and recycled expanded polystyrene in lightweight structural concrete

Lightweight concrete, particularly polystyrene concrete, has been extensively utilized in civil engineering for decades. The incorporation of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) as a filler material in the production of lightweight concrete presents significant advantages from a circular economy perspective. Prior research indicates that increasing the proportion of lightweight aggregates, such as EPS, typically results in reductions in strength and bulk density. The utilization of substantial amounts of EPS waste in the formulation of structural polystyrene concrete is crucial for advancing sustainable construction practices. This study investigates the effects of varying nano-silica content on the bulk density, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and water penetration depth of structural polystyrene concrete. Concrete specimens were prepared by substituting 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of sand with EPS waste, while evaluating nano-silica contents of 0.75%, 1%, and 1.25%. The findings reveal that increasing the volume fraction of EPS corresponds to a decrease in the concrete’s bulk density. This research provides critical insights into optimizing structural lightweight concrete, thereby promoting advancements in sustainable construction applications.

Circular Economy Approach for Sustainable Tree Litters Waste Management, study case in Universitas Diponegoro

Universitas Diponegoro, with an open forest area and planted vegetation of 30 – 40%, produced vast amounts of organic waste, especially tree litter. Piles of tree litter are everywhere if it is not properly managed. Universitas Diponegoro has taken a comprehensive approach to handling leaf and tree litter by converting it into economically valuable and beneficial products to meet the objectives of SDGs 12, which are focused on Responsible Consumption and Production. Through the Technical Implementation Unit for Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment (UPT K3L) Universitas Diponegoro has pyrolyzed tree branches to create liquid smoke and anaerobically converted leaf waste into compost. Later, the liquid smoke produced by pyrolysis and compost can achieve the consumer demand standard. In addition, from the policy approach, it is mandatory for every building to handle tree litter surrounds into compost using composting pits and composting bags. The circular economy idea has been incorporated into waste management at Universitas Diponegoro.

Modification of chain extension and crosslinking structures of recycled polyester textile for 3D printing filament

AbstractThe increase in amount of polyester textile waste is contributing to the severity of environmental pollution because polyester cannot be easily recycled. To reduce the limits of its recyclability, a value‐added recycling approach should be explored. This work introduces an approach for recycling polyester textiles into 3D printable filaments. To increase recyclability of polyester textiles, the polyester materials are modified by ADR4468 additive. After the polyester is 3D printed, the sample with 1.0 wt% of ADR4468 shows the highest tensile and compressive strength properties compared with 1.5 and 2.0 wt%, owing to its fewer voids between the printed lines, a fish scale‐like morphology that spreads out, and a higher degree of crystallization. Moreover, the mechanism of modification suggests that ADR4468 extends and crosslinks the polyester chains by ring‐opening reactions of epoxy groups of ADR4468 and forms sea‐island structures. The sea‐island structures of bonded polyester branched cores with tangled polyester shell interface areas and unbonded polyester chain areas performed suitable rheological behaviors to recycle polyester textiles for 3D printable filaments production. The filaments can be used to replace commercially available filaments, offer a sustainable option for consumers, and impact both the polyester textile‐related recycling and 3D printing industries.Highlights An approach is proposed to recycle polyester textiles for 3D printing filament The approach uses a mechanical method to recycle polyester textiles Recycled polyesters were modified by ADR4468 to form core‐shell structures Core‐shell structures were separated by short polyesters(sea‐island structure) The structures met rheological behaviors for 3D printing filament

Investigating the Routes to Produce Cellulose Fibers from Agro-Waste: An Upcycling Process

The agriculture and agri-food sectors produce substantial amounts of plant-based waste. This waste presents an identifiable research opportunity to develop methods for effectively eliminating and managing it in order to promote zero-waste and circular economies. Plant-based waste and by-products are acknowledged as valuable sources of bioactive compounds, including cellulose fibers. Direct application of these fibers in non-food sectors such as textiles can reduce the environmental impact of secondary raw materials. This review aims to provide an overview of novel concepts and modern technologies for efficiently utilizing plant-based waste and by-products from the agricultural and agro-industrial sectors to extract fibers for a variety of final applications, including the fashion industry. Two major routes are identified to produce cellulose fibers: the extraction and purification of natural cellulose fibers and the extraction and purification of cellulose pulp that is further processed into manmade cellulosic fibers. Scalability of experimental results at the laboratory or pilot level is a major barrier, so it is critical to develop closed-loop processes, apply standardization protocols, and conduct life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses to facilitate large-scale implementation.

A systematic review on sustainable utilization of plastic waste in asphalt: assessing environmental and health impact, performance, and economic viability.

Increasing amount of plastic waste (PW) poses a global challenge that necessitates multifaceted strategies. Repurposing PW in asphalt pavement is a sustainable strategy with extensive benefits, but there are several challenges that need to be overcome. This systematic review aims to examine three significant aspects associated with plastic-modified asphalt: environmental and health considerations, performance and technical properties, and cost.-effectiveness and economic feasibility. The environmental and health impacts of using PW in asphalt were particularly focused on the release of carcinogenic compounds and harmful fumes like polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microplastic pollution, and climate impact. Environmental challenges and potential health risks associated with the use of PW in asphalt production were analyzed and indicated. Afterwards, the effects of different plastic types on the fatigue and rutting resistance of asphalt pavement are investigated. While many types of PWs show potential for enhancing rutting and fatigue performance, conflicting results have been observed for certain plastics. Some PW types, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), have been shown to yield inconsistent results. Lastly, factors that are recognized to have an impact on the cost-effectiveness of plastic-modified asphalt include the collection and processing costs, asphalt materials price and availability, incorporation method, and possible changes in the asphalt's lifespan. The findings of this review help researchers to identify current gaps and aid stakeholders in making informed decisions towards more environmentally friendly, high-performance, and economically viable approaches to asphalt production.

The goal is to ensure comprehension, discourage indiscriminate disposal of garbage, and promote waste reduction through practices such as reuse and recycling.

Composting feasibility of organic solid waste ratio of CELSS and associated microbial enhancement effects

Due to the unique environment of the Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS), the type and quantity of organic solid wastes produced during long-term space missions are fixed. However, these mixed materials do not meet the indicators of conventional composting, and the vacuum in CELSS limits bio-degradation due to a shortage of functional microbes. In order to explore the feasibility of the organic solid waste ratio of CELSS and its microbial enhancement effect, composting experiments were setup to compare the actual and optimized material ratios on composting and polluted gaseous emissions, and to investigate the enhancement of microbial inoculation. The results demonstrated that the actual material ratio can be used for composting, whose degradation degree of crude protein, soluble sugar, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin was better than the optimized treatment. The actual material ratio can also reduce 26.1% of ammonia (NH3) and 66.8% of methane (CH4) emissions. They were attributed to the carbon source in the actual materials, which resulted in higher species abundance, uniformity, and dominance of the microbial community and a stronger overall utilization ability. Moreover, the inoculation of VT microbial agent can further increase the diversity of microorganisms and prolong the duration of high activity, which helps to strengthen the degradation of crude fat, cellulose and lignin, and reduced 50.7% of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and 33.2% of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Therefore, it is recommended that the aerobic composting technology in CELSS use the proportion of actual organic solid waste to match the material and add VT microbial agent.

Edible Spoon and Edible Straw: Solusi Cerdik dalam Mengurangi Sampah Plastik di Jombang, Jawa Timur

Plastic is a polymer compound whose main constituent elements are carbon and hydrogen. Because it is difficult to decompose in nature, plastic is the biggest contributor to waste which causes damage to the natural balance. Based on data from the National Waste Management Information System (2023), Plastic waste is the second most common type of waste after food waste, as many as 41.1%. The solution to banning the use of plastic spoons and straws has been found by creating environmentally friendly spoons and straws that are edible and biodegradable. This biodegradable (Edible Spoon) uses wheat flour as a base so it is safe for consumption. Edible and biodegradable straws (Edible Straw) are also made from natural ingredients, namely cassava flour (mocaf) and cornstarch. The method used to produce Edible Straw is the fruit peel method. The method used to produce Edible Straw is the fruit peel method. This method is used to make Edible Straw dough from a mixture of dough and fruit which is mashed into a thin sheet resembling skin.

High-efficiency co-liquefaction of brominated epoxy resin and low rank coal in supercritical water: Waste recycling and products upgrading

With the acceleration of upgrading electronic information products, a large amount of electronic waste was generated. Brominated epoxy resins (BERs) are the main nonmetallic components of e-waste. The recycling of BERs has attracted people's attention due to their potential environmental risks. Low rank coal is difficult to efficiently utilize due to its high moisture content, oxygen content and low calorific value. This study developed an efficient co-liquefaction strategy for BERs and low rank coal by supercritical water (SCW) process. Under optimized conditions (temperature of 425 ℃, reaction time of 60min, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:10g/mL, and BERs-coal mass ratio of 1:4g/g), the total conversion efficiency of co-liquefaction reached 56.76%. When the temperature was 325 - 425 °C, there was a positive synergistic effect between BERs and low rank coal co-liquefaction, and the highest synergy efficiency of 11.13% was reached at 400 °C. The introduction of BERs could significantly reduce the oxygenated compounds and the heteroatomic compounds in the liquefied oil products, improving the quality of oil products. The co-liquefaction promoted the production of phenolic chemicals and inhibited the cross-linking reaction of the decomposition products from low rank coal, and realized the synchronous conversion of BERs and low rank coal. The C-Br bond in the residue was significantly weakened after co-liquefaction. The oil products did not contain brominated organic compounds, also demonstrating the potential of the co-liquefaction process for debromination of BERs.

It provides a holistic view regarding a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism involved in adsorption for water remediation. The challenges and the prospects for future research in applying these adsorbents are also elucidated, contributing to sustainable waste management and environmental sustainability.

Plant-based chitosan for the development of biodegradable packaging materials

Plant-derived materials and edible films have developed as viable substitutes for standard packaging materials, enabling sustainable and ecologically acceptable alternatives. Chitosan, a cationic carbohydrate polymer derived from animal or marine sources, as well as from agricultural waste such as mushrooms or various fungi possesses excellent properties such as film formation, mechanical strength, non-toxicity, biodegradability, edibility, UV-blocking ability, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial functionality, justifying its potential as packaging/coating material for fresh agricultural products. Chitosan is obtained through the deacetylation of chitin. The quantity of waste generated in a mushroom farm varies from 5%-20% of the total yielding quantity. Filamentous fungi's cellular structure, which is rich in chitin, provides a convenient method for chitin extraction. Fungal-derived chitosan offers the advantage of controllable physicochemical characteristics, including degree of deacetylation and molecular weight, compared to chitosan obtained from crustaceans. This versatility makes fungal chitosan suitable for various utilizations in food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical management. It can be utilised for different purposes in these fields. This review primarily emphasizes the extraction of chitin from mushrooms and various fungal sources, comparing different extraction methods and chitosan-based materials fabrication techniques. Additionally, it discusses the crucial characteristics of chitosan that make it convenient for high value-added functions in the food industry. To sum up, plant-based chitosan films have the potential to completely transform the packaging sector by providing environmentally friendly substitutes for traditional materials. Accepting these advances will help build a more resilient and sustainable earth, encourage the circular economy, and reduce the amount of plastic trash produced.

Digital Manufacturing System of Custom Wigs with Measurable 3D Images

Wigs are major important means for improving life quality of the increasing people suffered from hair loss through their image enhancements. For the production of custom made wigs, there requires a mold that reproduces the wearer’s head dimension and the shape of hair loss. The conventional method for this is to make a resin film that adheres to the wig wearer’s head using vinyl tape, and to make a wig pattern with drawing the shape of hair loss onto the film, and to produce a head mold with this pattern, and then to plant hair in a wig cap made based on this mold and wig pattern. This method requires highly skilled manual work, and generates a large amount of chemical waste during the manufacturing process, and takes a long manufacturing period. However, the digital automation of measuring head dimension and the shape of hair loss can replace or omit the production of wig patterns. In this study, a 3D head image capable of actual measurement was implemented by using a 3D polygon head shape measurement device and a camera, which makes a digital production system possible, which can replace the manual wig pattern production process for custom wigs.

An integrated environmental and economic assessment for the disposal of food waste from grocery retail stores towards resource recovery.

Food waste gives rise to many environmental problems. A large amount of food waste is produced by grocery retail stores. It is therefore important to apply efficient food waste treatment technologies with minimal environmental impact and investigate the optimal approach for food waste collection, transportation, and treatment. In the present study, a life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) was conducted to analyze different food waste disposal scenarios, including incineration, landfilling, composting, anaerobic digestion, and bioconversion. The impacts of the five scenarios on the environmental, economic, and social aspects were assessed. The results suggested that the landfilling scenario has the lowest net cost for the treatment of food waste, followed by the incineration scenario. The bioconversion treatment cost has the most significant positive effect on the net cost of the bioconversion scenario, and both the price and yield of compost have a significant negative effect on the net cost. The rankings of the five scenarios are the same under both weight determination methods, with the bioconversion scenario performing the best, followed by the composting scenario. The results of this study can help improve the disposal of food waste in grocery retail stores in the framework of sustainability and the circular economy.
