Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Climate effects of recycled fertilizers and biochar: emissions of nitrous oxide, methane and ammonia in a field experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Nitrogen (N) fertilizers are essential for crop production. Farmyard manure and slurry traditionally constitute about half of the total N inputs into crop production in Switzerland.

Tracer Test as a Tool for Optimizing the Flow Patterns and Efficiency of a Full‐Scale Drainage Water Treatment Wetland

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Tracer testing assessed hydraulics and nitrate removal in three full‐scale agricultural drainage treatment wetlands over 3.5 years (three tests). The first test showed rapid, short‐circuited flow and low residence time. After modifying the collection system, the second test increased residence time from 1 to 7 days.

Sewage sludge application on agricultural soils in Wallonia: Long‐term monitoring and impact assessment of practices

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract In the context of sustainable agriculture and circular resource management, the use of wastewater treatment plant secondary sludge in agriculture represents an interesting opportunity. Its use is strictly regulated to guarantee environmental and food safety through analysis of both sludge and soils on which it was spread.

Inventory of Existing Studies Applying Life Cycle Thinking to Biowaste Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
European waste policy aims at reducing the negative environmental impact associated with waste generation and management and to contribute to an overall reduction of the environmental impact of the use of resources.

Leveraging Carbon Quantum Dots to Achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals in the Face of Climate Change

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) play a significant role in supporting the UN SDGs by promoting the sustainable management of energy, healthcare, remediation, and agriculture in a multidisciplinary manner. It focuses on reducing waste, toxicity, and energy use while utilizing renewable resources.

Determining whether estimated spore release rates for Aspergillus fumigatus are compatible with their measured growth rates in composting systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The composting process like other waste management activities has the potential to generate large concentrations of bioaerosols which can be widely dispersed into the surrounding environment.

Assessment of Chemical Inhibitor Addition to Improve the Gas Production from Biowaste [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The coexistence of sulphate-reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea in the reactors during the anaerobic digestion from sulphate-containing waste could favor the accumulation of sulfide on the biogas, and therefore reduce its quality.

Fermentation and Enzymatic Pre‐Treatments to Modulate Sensory Properties of Extruded Plant‐Based Meat Alternatives

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.
