Smart Waste, Smarter World: Exploring Waste Types, Trends, and Tech‐Driven Valorization Through Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Blockchain

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global municipal solid waste generation is projected to exceed 3.8 billion tonnes annually by 2050. This makes the need for smart, inclusive, and scalable waste valorization systems more urgent than ever. This review critically explores the shift from conventional waste management to intelligent, technology‐driven solutions aligned with ...

Highly Efficient Photothermal‐Catalytic Depolymerization of Polyester Fiber Enabled by a Phosphotungstate‐Based Palladium Single‐Atom Catalyst

Small, EarlyView.
In this work, a novel phosphotungstate‐based single‐atom catalyst (SAC) supported on cost‐effective activated carbon is developed for the photothermal depolymerization of polyester fibers. The activated carbon efficiently harnesses solar energy to rapidly heat the reaction system, reaching 185 °C within 20 min, leading to complete depolymerization of ...

Toxicity of Commonly Used Plasticizers to the Freshwater Organisms Tilapia sparrmanii (Fish) and Caridina nilotica (Shrimp): Lethal and Sublethal Effects

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The toxicity of microplastics in aquatic environments is usually due to plasticizers, the chemical additives that keep the plastic polymers together. Thus, the current study reports on the toxicity of three common plasticizers found in freshwater ecosystems and their impacts on two South African freshwater organisms at the organismal and ...
