Hydrogen applications range from an energy carrier to a feedstock producing bulk and other chemicals as essential reactant in various industrial applications. However, the sustainability of hydrogen production, storage transport are neither unquestionable nor equal. is produced natural gas, biogas, aluminium, acid biomass, electrolytic water splitting others; total eleven sources were investigated this work. The environmental impact evaluated terms greenhouse gas footprints, acidification,...
Sustainable management in the biogas production via anaerobic digestion process intents use of alternative biomass sources that are not competitive with food production. The aim this study is to investigate application abundant-quantity residue more sustainable heat and electricity along digested substrate as a fertiliser. has been divided into several sequential steps. First, grass samples have collected at following locations: uncultivated land, river embankment highway verge. greatest...
Urban areas have a considerable impact on the environment. Among sectors contributing to environmental impacts is plastic product usage, resulting in urban waste accumulation. There exists need determine and evaluate flows their areas. Our research comprehended modelling of eight most commonly used polymers system European city with 10ˆ5 inhabitants for year 2020. A scenario analysis was conducted, considering Union's policy achieving 65 % recycling rate by 2035. Plastic production...
In order to approach a system change towards circular economy model (CE) in Europe, the entrepreneurial activities of young people need be encouraged achieve Green Deal (GD) goals. This article presents evaluation results people’s awareness and attitudes CE GD. The data used this study was collected by surveying 286 from five European countries. questionnaire covered four areas: (1) belief, (2) knowledge, (3) competence, (4) ability deal with CE. Descriptive exploratory factor analysis (EFA)...
This paper introduces a conceptual model for evaluating seaports’ acceleration towards the circular economy. The is based on identification and definition of economy indicators, weighted according to 9 R-strategy transitions We have employed analytical hierarchy process weight detection further calculations final seaport circularity value. Our results suggest validity provide detailed insight into activities seaports from as well Rs sustainability perspectives.
Formalin is among the most important commodity chemicals, used mainly as a precursor to wide range of value-added products. Currently, formalin widely produced from methanol derived natural gas, however transition fossil-based production sustainable feedstocks and pathways crucial. This study evaluates environmental impacts selected promising technologies shape pathway towards more key chemicals. Among investigated routes are through methane steam reforming other fossil renewable sources,...
This review provides a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of cosmetic cream to assess the environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction disposal, using methodology according international standards. The LCA was performed OpenLCA 2.0.1 software, with data Ecoinvent 3.8 database and relevant literature. assessment focused on multiple impact categories, including climate change, acidification, eutrophication (freshwater, marine terrestrial),...
When considering the sustainability of production processes, research studies usually emphasise environmental impacts and do not adequately address economic social impacts. Toy is no exception when it comes to assessing sustainability. Previous on toys has focused solely aspects neglected aspects. This paper presents a assessment toy using life cycle assessment, costing, assessment. We conducted an inventory analysis impact identify hotspots system. The main are eutrophication, followed by...
Abstract This review provides a detailed inventory analysis of the manufacturing process cosmetic cream using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and hydroxylated fullerene water complex (3HFWC) as novel nanocomponents for cream. The was focused on evaluation two raw materials nanocomponents, consumption electricity water, which enabled an insight into flows within production process. data obtained from this provide potential improvements that can be made in order to reduce environmental impact new...
Product eco-innovation based on ecodesign principles is the idea of including environmental aspects a product over its entire life-cycle, thus providing opportunity for manufacturing companies to intervene earlier during development processes.The aim this study was gather information and evaluate situation regarding within ISO 14001 certified medium large in Republic Slovenia by means questionnaire.The goal identify most important criteria taken into account reveal whether measures as result...
