Conceptualizing Circular Ecosystems: An Analysis of 45 Definitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 2368-2394, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The circular ecosystem concept is gaining prominence among academics and practitioners. However, critics claim the concept is used and understood differently by different actors. While conceptual plurality offers possibilities for broad interpretations and engagement, it can undermine the relevance of the concept as an analytical lens due to ...

Sustainable Pretreatment of Food Waste for Enhanced Bioethanol Production and Improved Waste Management: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the conversion of food waste biomass into bioethanol through integrated pretreatment strategies. Physical (mechanical, thermal, sonication), chemical (alkali, acidic, oxidative/ROS), and biological (fungal, bacterial, enzymatic) pretreatments enhance biomass breakdown.

Advances in second‐generation biofuel production from rice straw and barley straw

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 313-331, January/February 2026.
Abstract This review critically examines recent advances in the use of rice straw and barley straw as lignocellulosic feedstocks for second‐generation biofuel production. A comprehensive analysis of their chemical composition, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash content, reveals how these intrinsic properties affect the efficiency of ...

Integrating enzyme production and bioenergy recovery through circular bioprocessing of carbohydrate‐rich food wastes into α‐amylase, hydrogen and methane

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 110-124, January/February 2026.
Abstract This study explored the valorization of two carbohydrate rich food wastes, a sugary (spoiled dates, SD) and a starchy (wasted rice, WR) one, for the biotechnological production of α‐amylase, biohydrogen (bioH2), and methane (CH4). Initially, the bioH2 and CH4 production potentials of raw SD and WR were assessed without any pretreatment, via ...

PH-Optimized Biomethane Production: Evaluating Carrier Materials for Ex-situ Biomethanation

CONECT. International Scientific Conference of Environmental and Climate Technologies
Choosing the appropriate carrier material for ex-situ biomethanation is a critical factor to consider when developing biogas upgrading technologies. The chosen material for biomethanation in a biotrickling filter reactor functions as a substrate that immobilises microorganisms, which act as catalysts in the reaction for producing biomethane.
