Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

Polyethyleneimine‐Modified Biosorbent Based on Banana Pseudostem Biomass for Environmental Remediation and Food Analysis

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Biosorbents derived from banana pseudostem are functionalized with polyethyleneimine, with or without glutaraldehyde, and evaluated for dye removal and solid‐phase extraction. The materials exhibit high adsorption capacities and broad pH applicability in dye removal, while computational studies reveal amino groups as key interaction sites.

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

Corn Zein Nanocarriers for Agrochemical Delivery and Smart Packaging

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores zein, a corn‐derived biodegradable protein, as a multifunctional nanocarrier for sustainable agriculture and packaging. It examines advances in agrochemical delivery, smart packaging, and stimuli‐responsive systems, while addressing scalability, environmental fate, and regulatory barriers.

Ni Single Atoms in Zeolite Beta for Selective Alkyne Hydrogenation

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Single‐atom Ni in zeolite Beta (Ni1/BEA) selectively remove trace acetylene from ethylene. Ni1/BEA achieve full conversion with ≈89% ethylene selectivity, stable for 24 h without coking, and 12 times higher TOF than prior zeolite‐supported single‐atom Ni catalysts. Na+ exchange suppress Brønsted acid‐catalyzed oligomerization. Under ethylene‐rich feeds,
