Plastics and other extraneous matter in municipal solid waste compost: A systematic review of sources, occurrence, implications, and fate in amended soils

Environmental Advances
Municipal solid waste (MSW) composting is rapidly growing globally as a sustainable approach to valorize the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) into compost for agricultural use.

Spent Pleurotus substrate as organic fertilizer to improve yield and soil fertility: the case of baby leaf lettuce production

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Spent mushrooms substrate is the most important waste generated by edible mushrooms industry and can be re‐used as organic fertilizer, following sustainable production principles. In the present study, Spent Pleurotus substrate (SPS) was used for organic fertilization of baby leaf production during two consecutive cycles (1st ...

Carbon footprint for farms in the Czech Republic: a benchmark‐based assessment

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change is a pressing environmental and social challenge that demands effective monitoring of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One widely adopted approach for this is quantifying the carbon footprint (CF). Given that agriculture is a major contributor to GHG emissions, we have developed a comprehensive framework for CF ...

Modeling how and why aquatic vegetation removal can free rural households from poverty-disease traps [PDF]

arXiv
Infectious disease can reduce labor productivity and incomes, trapping subpopulations in a vicious cycle of ill health and poverty. Efforts to boost African farmers' agricultural production through fertilizer use can inadvertently promote the growth of aquatic vegetation that hosts disease vectors.

Poly(Butylene Adipate‐Co‐Terephthalate)/Silane‐Treated Wollastonite‐Based Blown Film for Sustainable Packaging Application: Studying the Impact of Uniaxial Stretching on the Final Properties

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) films enhanced with silane‐treated wollastonite (S‐W) filler are innovatively developed using blown film extrusion followed by uniaxial stretching. This process led to remarkable improvements in the film's properties: tensile strength surged by ≈500%, and Young's modulus increased by 1000%.

Sustainable Shell Formulations as Alternative to the Conventional Soft Gelatin Capsules in Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Applications. A Review.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
In soft capsules (SCs), four crucial factors can modify the properties of the shell: the shell formulation, its interaction with the fill material, the SC production and its storage conditions. Gelatin is the most used gelling agent for SCs nowadays, but they have some drawbacks which can be solved including other alternative polymers in the shell ...

Melt Processing of Cellulose Acetate for Controlled Release Applications – A Review

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review presents recent developments in the melt‐processing of cellulose acetate (CA). Factors affecting the processability, biodegradability, and mechanical performance of CA are also summarized. Plasticizers, bio‐based polymers (PLA, PBAT & PHBV), and clay nanoparticles are also examined toward enhancing the melt processability and mechanical ...
