High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and
