Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...

Combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and adding red mud as a secondary catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming of digestate

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This work studies the combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and introducing red mud as a support catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming (TCR®) of digestate. The TCR® method, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT (abbreviated as Fraunhofer UMSICHT), is an extension

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Operational Performance Implications of Circular Economy Implementation: An Empirical Exploration in the Manufacturing Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global manufacturing sector has increasingly adopted circular economy (CE) practices to address sustainability challenges and improve operational efficiency. This study explores the impact of five CE practices—reduce, reuse, remanufacture, recycle, and recover—on key operational performance dimensions: quality, speed, dependability ...

The Impact of Sustainability Orientation and Sustainability Challenges in SME Responses to Institutional Support

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SMEs receive increasing institutional support to embed sustainability, yet they vary widely in their ability to translate such support into practice. This study addresses this gap by examining the internal cognitive and strategic mechanism (sustainability orientation) through which managers interpret institutional support and the contextual ...
