Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The inefficiencies of the global food system necessitate a shift towards a circular economy (CE) in food supply chains (FSCs). While research on CE in FSCs spans multiple disciplines, it often remains siloed within respective disciplinary boundaries, limiting its practical impact.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...
