Eco‐Friendly Recycling of Copper‐Plated Paper Using Fenton Chemistry
Chemical Engineering &Technology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.An eco‐friendly process for copper plating and recycling using pectin‐functionalized paper is presented. Copper is plated via a nontoxic, water‐based method and recovered through a pulping process followed by Fenton‐like oxidation to produce reusable copper(II) salts.

The Olive Oil Mill as Circular Hub
European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 9, September 2026.Olive oil production generates large amounts of by‐products at every stage of the production process. The olive mill can be considered a circular hub, where such by‐products are valorized through a cascade approach that first recovers valuable compounds and then converts the remaining biomass into renewable energy.
