A Green Consumer‐Based Approach to Advance Branding Strategies in Experiential Consumption Contexts. Insight From the Cruise Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing environmental awareness has intensified demand for sustainability and transparency, especially in cruise tourism, a high‐impact and highly scrutinised service context. This study examines how green consumption values (GCV) shape passengers' perceptions of the credibility of green marketing claims (believability) and, in turn, influence

Assessing the Contribution of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Towards Organisational Biodiversity Footprints

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organisations play a key role in addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, which are closely connected. Biodiversity footprinting has initially suggested that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may contribute to a large proportion of many organisations' biodiversity impacts.

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.
