Safety assessment of the process CERSA, based on the Starlinger deCON technology, used to recycle post-consumer PET into food contact materials. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) assessed the safety of the recycling process CERSA (EU register number RECYC298), which uses the Starlinger deCON technology. The input material is hot washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes originating from collected post‐consumer PET containers, e.

Working the Waste Commodity Frontier: Metabolic Value and Informal Waste Work

Antipode, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 458-479, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Ambitions for a European “circular economy” imply waste is becoming an important “commodity frontier”. Increased recycling in Europe has been accompanied by a proliferation of informal waste work. “Southern” geographies of informal recyclers provide resources for interpreting this phenomenon but studies of a commodity frontier in urban waste ...

Plasticity and evolution shape the scaling of metabolism and excretion along a geothermal temperature gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physiological rates are heavily dependent on temperature and body size. Most current predictions of organisms’ response to environmental warming are based on the assumption that key physiological rates such as metabolism and excretion scale independently with body size ...

A general framework for stock dynamics of populations and built and natural environments

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 25, Issue 5, Page 1136-1146, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Sustainable development involves a responsible management of the interactions between humans and their built and natural environment. From a physical perspective, the interactions can be characterized as stocks and flows of energy and matter within and between these spheres. Understanding the dynamics of the stocks is essential to enable their

Bridging the ideological gap? How fairness perceptions mediate the effect of revenue recycling on public support for carbon taxes in the United States, Canada and Germany

Review of Policy Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 529-554, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Carbon taxes are frequently advocated as a means of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet their political feasibility remains a challenge. To enhance their political appeal, carbon tax proponents have proposed revenue recycling as a means of alleviating public concern with this instrument's visible costs.
