Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Coal Mine Wastewater as a Secondary Resource: Advances in Treatment and Value Recovery Technologies

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Coal mine wastewater, which has historically been considered an environmental problem, is becoming more widely recognized as a secondary resource with substantial value recovery potential. Nevertheless, recent progress demonstrates that this wastewater could be converted into highly useful, industrially available pigments (like iron oxides) by

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Determining Geotextile Effects on Bearing Capacity Ratio and Cost of Pavement Layers by Conducting CBR Tests

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this study, California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests in a laboratory were performed to observe the effects of geotextiles on bearing capacity ratio, pavement layer thickness, and cost for geotextile reinforced soils.

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 13, Page 9308-9322, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Permeability Testing for Geotextile and Geotextile/Soil Systems

Proceedings of geotextile symposium, 1986
The permeability properties of geotextiles and geotextile/soil systems were studied using gradient ratio testing apparatus improving on the type of U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station.It is suggested that the permittivity is better than permeability to evaluate the characteristics of geotextiles as filter materials. From the results on six

Influence of Immersion Conditions on The Tensile Strength of Recycled Kevlar®/Polyester/Low-Melting-Point Polyester Nonwoven Geotextiles through Applying Statistical Analyses

Applied Sciences, 2016
The recycled Kevlar®/polyester/low-melting-point polyester (recycled Kevlar®/PET/LPET) nonwoven geotextiles are immersed in neutral, strong acid, and strong alkali solutions, respectively, at different temperatures for four months. Their tensile strength

Progress in Biodegradable Nonwoven Materials for Personal Protective Applications

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal protective equipment generates large waste streams, underscoring the need for materials that deliver protection without persistent environmental costs. This study reviews biodegradable nonwoven options and relates material choice and disposal routes to barrier performance, comfort, and footprint.
