Evaluating Pleurotus ostreatus growth for upcycling textile waste from the fashion industry

Frontiers in Sustainability
The fast fashion industry’s rapid growth has led to about 92 million tons of textile waste each year and contributes 10% of global carbon emissions, which is expected to rise by 50% by 2030.

Precision Synthesis of Biomass‐Derived Graphene‐Like Carbon With Tailored Crystallinity via Controlled Flash Joule Heating

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A dual‐phase flash Joule heating strategy converts pre‐pyrolyzed biomass into structurally tunable carbon materials from waste feedstocks. By decoupling current‐driven thermodynamic input and duration‐dependent kinetic relaxation, the process maps the transition from amorphous carbon to few‐layer turbostratic graphene and turbostratic nanographite ...

Upcycling of Chinese Nong-Flavor Baijiu Distiller’s Grains Through Solid-State Fermentation by Microbial-Enzyme Synergy

Fermentation
Chinese Baijiu distiller’s grains are by-products of the Chinese Baijiu brewing process, characterized by high water content, high acidity, and high fiber content, which make them unsuitable for animal feed, especially for monogastric animals. This study

The emerging landscape of urban upcycling: Identifying manifestations and a typology for urban upcycling

Sustainable Production and Consumption
Urban areas provide a promising context for upcycling due to the concentration of consumers and existence of bulky waste resources. Hence, upcycling initiatives emerge across European cities, but little is known about their manifestations. Building on interviews with twenty-four stakeholders from the urban upcycling ecosystem and three focus groups ...

In situ Generation of Fluoride Catalysts for CO2‐to‐Formic Acid Conversion With Silicon Reducing Agent

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Reductive conversion of CO2 to formic acid with waste silicon reducing agent catalyzed by in situ generation of active fluoride species from a tertiary amine, protonic acid, and simple inorganic fluoride salt, such as KF and NaF. ABSTRACT The activation and catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using silicon‐based reducing agents is an important ...

Catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Polyethylene With Pt/C to Tune Product Selectivity

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Pt/C‐catalyzed hydrothermal liquefaction of polyethylene in supercritical water enables time‐dependent control of product selectivity, producing paraffin‐rich oils at shorter reaction times and aromatic‐enriched products at longer times without external hydrogen. ABSTRACT Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) represents a promising thermochemical pathway for

Synergies and Trade‐Offs in Circular Economy and Community Development Nexus: Pathways to Local Sustainability

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent scholarship shows growing interest in the circular economy (CE) approach, which promotes resource‐efficient, community‐friendly activities. However, scientific evidence is still needed on the synergies and trade‐offs between CE and community development (CD).
