Comparative Study of Microcelluloses Isolated From Two Different Biomasses with Commercial Cellulose

BioResources, 2016
Microcelluloses (MCs) were chemically isolated from two different biomass sources, empty fruit bunches (EFB) and sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The resulting MCs were compared to the commercially available cellulose (MC-Sigma) that was used as a standard ...

Mechanical and sound absorption performance of cashew apple bagasse and mahogany fruit-based hybrid composites

BioResources
Mechanical and acoustic properties were studied for hybrid composites developed from Cashew Apple Bagasse (CAB) fibers and Mahogany tree Fruit Filler (MFF) in an epoxy matrix. The effect of alkali treatment (5% and 10% NaOH solutions) on CAB fiber composites at different weight fractions of MFF (0 to 25 wt%) was studied.

Upcycling Almond Byproducts: A Technoeconomic and Environmental Assessment of Almond Hull Hydrolysate

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study presents the first integrated technoeconomic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) of converting almond hulls—a sugar‐rich agricultural byproduct—into almond hull hydrolysate (AHH), a low‐cost and environmentally favorable fermentation growth medium.

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 16, Page 14769-14787, 20 August 2026.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Fabrication, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of PLA/Chitosan Composites Reinforced With Sugarcane Bagasse–Derived Fillers

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Fiber treatment improved sugarcane bagasse by increasing cellulose content to 71.7% and crystallinity to 91.36%. Among composites, PLA–CS–UASCB showed the best overall performance, maintaining tensile strength and modulus close to pure PLA while delivering the highest antimicrobial activity, reducing E. coli by 20.28% and S. aureus by 28.33%.

Social, Technological, Economic, and Policy Factors in the Circular Economy Transition in Brazil

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 4683-4703, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A well‐functioning circular economy (CE) integrates resilience across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This study identifies key drivers and barriers to Brazil's CE transition through 20 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders. Major sociocultural barriers include inadequate education and limited CE awareness, while growing
