Prisoners' Perceptions and Their Agency on Sustainability Transformation in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability transformation is essential for our time, requiring the involvement of all citizens. Several prisons worldwide have developed various sustainable development (SD) programs for prisoners. However, it remains unclear how prisoners perceive SD, which can be a significant obstacle to their agency. This study explores the perceptions

One‐Pot Upcycling of Heterogeneous Polyester Waste to Biodegradable Thermoplastics: A Cost‐Effective Solution for a Circular Economy

SusMat, EarlyView.
One‐pot melt transesterification upcycles post‐consumer PET and PBT with PTMG into biodegradable TPEEs featuring randomized polyester chains, tunable mechanical properties, and accelerated biodegradation. TEA and LCA analyses show competitive cost and reduced carbon emissions relative to PP and PBAT.
