Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

Roll‐to‐Roll Processing of Biodegradable Multilayer Barrier Packaging Structures

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that novel packaging materials built using biobased and biodegradable materials can be produced in pilot‐scale and converted into functional barrier packaging. The proposed structures are anticipated to make a strong impact in use‐cases where the risk of environmental littering is elevated, such as snacks and take away meals ...

Strategic Design Choices in Upcycled Fashion: Effects of Design Typicality and Material Domain Distance on Sustainable Consumption

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While upcycling clothing reflects environmental value (i.e., greenness) and distinctive designs (i.e., uniqueness), consumer responses to upcycled clothing designs remain underexplored. Drawing on categorization, cue utilization, and domain distance theories, two experimental studies were conducted with US female aged 18–45.
