Getting (un)wasted: How planning failures generate consumer waste across resources: Time, money, goods, and energy

Consumer Psychology Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that people exhibit robust waste aversion. However, many consumers routinely feel that they waste not only goods but also time, money, energy, and emotion and would be hard‐pressed to imagine their lives otherwise. Why does consumer waste persist? In this paper, we first propose a definition for consumer waste.

Potential contribution of biomass gasification‐based technology in energy transition: a technical review coupled with bibliometric studies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biomass gasification technology has been extensively researched around the world; however, there is a need to evaluate the current research landscape and evolutionary direction of research in the broader context of energy transition. A systematic bibliometric analysis of the Web of Science database was performed for articles that fall within ...

Integrated biorefinery for cellulosic ethanol and spherical nanolignin production from coconut waste

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Green coconut waste was subjected to different fractionation methods to obtain integrated lignin nanoparticles and cellulosic ethanol. Pretreatment with gradual addition of dilute sulfuric acid provided a higher structural hemicellulose precursor yield (68.2%).

Driving continuous improvement of sustainability certification for industrial biobased systems through comprehensive sustainability requirements

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing monitoring frameworks for sustainability certification schemes and labels (CSLs) have largely prioritised environmental aspects, while the social and economic pillars of sustainability remain comparatively underdeveloped. Also, dedicated circularity requirements tailored to biobased systems are still largely lacking, despite being ...
