Bridging Policy Gaps in Transition Times: How Local Actors Navigate Low Policy Coherence for Advancing a Circular Built Environment

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1458-1485, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The construction sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis, accounting for over one‐third of global energy‐related CO2 emissions. In response, the European Commission identified the circular economy as a means of achieving green growth and prioritized the construction sector in its Circular Economy Action Plan.

A Cradle‐to‐Gate Life Cycle Assessment of Sustainable All‐Cellulose Composites Using Imidazolium‐Based Ionic Liquid

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
All‐cellulose composites produced from cotton textiles were evaluated for sustainability and mechanical performance. Adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to the ionic liquid 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM OAc) reduced environmental burdens while preserving high stiffness.

Thermomechanical and Combustion Behavior of Post Cured Allyl and Furan Functionalized Bio‐Based Benzoxazine Composites

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bio‐based benzoxazine/recycled carbon fiber composites are post cured to investigate the role of allyl and furan groups on crosslinking and thermomechanical performance. Post curing nearly doubles the storage modulus for allyl containing systems and increases Tg from 169°C to 203°C for furan containing systems, while the reference system gains the ...

The Impact of Agave (Agave Tequilana) Powder on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PLA Bio‐Based Composites

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated PLA composites containing untreated agave powder (3–20 wt.%) as a proof‐of‐concept baseline for evaluating the effect of filler content on material performance. Low AP contents (3–5 wt.%) largely preserved the main thermal degradation behavior of PLA, whereas higher contents shifted degradation toward lower temperatures ...
