Nudge, not sludge [PDF]

Science, 2018
For some, the world is becoming increasingly complicated in that there are ever greater responsibilities, from selecting health insurance to figuring out how much to save for retirement. Ten years ago, my friend (and Harvard law professor) Cass Sunstein and I published a book called Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Mining: An Integrated Institutional and Agency Theory Perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement of traditional communities, and large‐scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing ...

When Corporations Nudge for Good: Examining the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Marketing Initiatives in Influencing Intention to Change

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms invest heavily in corporate social initiatives (CSIs), yet evidence of behaviour change remains limited. This study examines whether corporate social marketing (CSM) elicits stronger behavioural intentions to change than other CSI formats, such as philanthropy and cause‐related marketing (CRM), and identifies the psychological mechanisms

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Fe‐Free Photocatalysis‐Self‐Fenton System for Ultraefficient Water Purification Enabled by Carbon Nitride With Strong Built‐in Electric Field

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This study reports a photocatalytic H₂O₂ production rate of 14.9 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, representing a 22.2‐fold enhancement. Additionally, the Fe‐free PSFs achieved complete degradation of 100 mg·L⁻¹ tetracycline within 10 min across a wide pH range. ABSTRACT Photocatalytic‐self‐Fenton system (PSFs) hold great promise for water purification through in situ ...

Redistributing Cobalt and Tungsten From WC–Co Soft Scrap Toward Sustainable Cathode and Coating Materials for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A sustainable upcycling strategy transforms tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) soft scrap into high‐performance cathode materials. Recycled Co with trace nickel (Ni) is resynthesized into stabilized LiCoO2 with superior high‐voltage durability, while the recovered tungsten is further utilized as tungsten trioxide to enhance Ni‐rich cathode interfaces ...
