Evaluation of Environmental Sustainability of Biorefinery and Incineration with Energy Recovery Based on Life Cycle Assessment

Fermentation
Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and ISO standards, we compared the global environmental sustainability (ES) of two technologies that process the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) in Mexico. The first technology was a biorefinery (BRF)

Assessment of the Synergy between Recycling and Thermal Treatments in Municipal Solid Waste Management in Europe

Energies, 2020
In 2018, the production of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in EU-28 reached 250.6 Mt, with the adoption of different management strategies, involving recycling (48 wt %), incineration and thermal valorization (29 wt %) and landfilling (23 wt %).

Aqueously Upcycled Lignin with Emergent Tribonegativity for Skin‐Integrated Triboelectronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aqueously upcycled lignin is transformed into a printable ink that self‐assembles into a nanotextured surface during printing with the highest reported biopolymer‐based tribonegativity. The resulting skin‐integrated triboelectric sensor enables high‐fidelity cardiovascular monitoring and objective mental workload classification, demonstrating a ...

The Struggle for Sustainable Waste Management in Hong Kong: 1950s–2010s

Worldwide Waste, 2019
As Hong Kong’s landfills are expected to reach saturated conditions by 2020, the city can no longer rely on landfilling alone as the sole solution for waste treatment in the long term. Drawing on five months of archival research at the University of Hong

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

All‐Round Talent: Unique Zinc Guanidine Catalyst Performs Efficiently in Synthesis and Chemical Recycling of (Bio)Polyesters

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new zinc hybrid guanidine catalyst [Zn{(R,R)TMGNMe2(1,2)ch}2](OTf)2 (C1) shows very high catalytic activity in the polymerization of cyclic esters and in the depolymerization of these polyesters. Using C1 in the ring‐opening polymerization of lactide and caprolactone under industrially relevant conditions, astonishing rate constants of the same order

A Sustainable Adhesive Paradigm: Reversibly Reinforcing, Heat‐Free Bonding with Universal Substrates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A heat‐free adhesive system, delivering superior adhesion strength across metal, plastic, and glass substrates, is developed. Repeatable bonding with reinforcement instead of strength reduction enables error‐tolerant applications. This design paradigm establishes an eco‐friendly alternative to conventional adhesives, particularly suitable for ...
