The location of a phosphorus emission can strongly affect its expected fate in freshwater. To date, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), factors for emissions have been derived continents or large countries and had limited spatial resolution. These do not account sufficiently local variations are applicable globally. In this paper, freshwater eutrophication to on global scale with half-degree For purpose, new model has developed removal processes taken into grid-specific advection, retention water...
Abstract Seaweeds are seen as important future feedstock for Europe, providing biomass food, feed, and other applications. can contribute to a circular food system protein transition bio-based economy. Europe is minor player in the world market dominated by Asian producers processors. According FAO, total production of aquatic plants (dominated seaweed) was 30 million tonnes 2016, with China (47.9%) Indonesia (38, 7%) dominating production. This article discusses challenges seaweed use...
Mushrooms have become a relevant part of our diet globally, as non-animal sources proteins; but data on their value chain and environmental impact are still scarce. Therefore, good understanding the impacts mushroom production, hotspots throughout chain, comparisons between production systems regions, an assessment improvement potential is required. This paper carried out life cycle (LCA) to estimate three Agaricus bisporus in different European countries: Spain, Poland Serbia. We found that...
The feasibility of European seaweed farming depends on the valorisation algal biomass harvested. In present work we have combined sequential extraction processes from Saccharina latissima to produce a range products, focusing fucoxanthin using supercritical CO2 followed by different routes. We optimised conditions for (40 MPa, temperature has little impact extraction) and extracts obtained were tested cancer cell cultures determine antiproliferative effects this pigment. established that an...
An exploratory Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was carried out to provide insight into the environmental impacts of using green seaweed Ulva spp. as a feedstock, for production bioplastic. The study focused on lactic acid precursor polylactic acid. process: (1) cultivation spp., in an Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture system; (2) processing biomass solubilization sugars; (3) fermentation sugars acid; (4) isolation from broth. identified hotspots and compared experimental chain with...
Seaweeds are often seen as a healthy, component of future diets with low environmental impacts compared to other food ingredients. This study quantifies the impact seaweed Saccharina latissima (S. latissima) cultivated in North Sea and applied products using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) The performance under current conditions scenarios is evaluated, drawing on data provided by Dutch companies. benefits inclusion diets, taking into account its nutritional value, evaluated Optimeal. Under...
Plastic waste production increasingly causes environmental pollution. However, end-of-life (EoL) research often lacks detail and timeliness fails to integrate the option into a product’s life cycle in systemic perspective. This study addresses these knowledge gaps, by applying an improved anticipatory consequential assessment (LCA) approach. Reuse, mechanical chemical recycling options were compared for (biobased fossil-based) high-density polyethylene (HDPE) terephthalate (PET) plastic...
