A mess of plastic It is not clear what strategies will be most effective in mitigating harm from the global problem pollution. Borrelle et al. and Lau discuss possible solutions their impacts. Both groups found that substantial reductions plastic-waste generation can made coming decades with immediate, concerted, vigorous action, but even best case scenario, huge quantities still accumulate environment.

Abstract Food packaging is of high societal value because it conserves and protects food, makes food transportable conveys information to consumers. It also relevant for marketing, which economic significance. Other types contact articles, such as storage containers, processing equipment filling lines, are important production supply. articles made up one or multiple different materials consist chemicals. However, chemicals transfer from all into and, consequently, taken by humans. Here we...

In recent years several strategies have been developed and adopted to reduce the levels of Greenhouse Gas Emissions released atmosphere. The adoption Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU) technologies may contribute towards carbon sequestration as well creation high value products. This study presents a methodology assess potential CO2 utilization across Europe, identify European regions with greater deploy nine selected dioxide technologies. results show that Germany, UK France at first level...

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is recognized by the European Union, along with carbon, storage (CCS), as one of main tools towards global warming mitigation. It has, thus, been extensively studied various researchers around world. The majority papers published so far focus on individual stages a CCU value chain (carbon capture, separation, purification, transportation, transformation/utilization). However, holistic approach, taking into account matching interaction between these...

Governments are increasingly supporting initiatives to address plastic pollution, but efforts largely opportunistic or driven by national socio-political priorities. There is an urgent need move away from piecemeal single product instruments (e.g. use bag taxes straw bans) deliver system-wide strategies that minimise the most pervasive sources of pollution. Developing a common understanding jurisdiction's waste stream and solutions available decision-makers vital build consensus across...

Energy recovery from municipal solid waste (MSW) is an important component of integrated management strategy. This paper presents a critical assessment traditional and more advanced process technologies for the thermal treatment MSW. The study reports on technical economic performance moving-grate incineration fluidised-bed gasification processes medium-sized plant scale scenario 100 kt/yr input. Mass energy balances are performed generation electric power using steam turbine combined cycle...

Abstract Anaerobic digestion (AD) presence is emerging in the UK because it has numerous environmental benefits as a waste management strategy and produces valuable biogas. This work shows that up to 5.5% of primary energy could be met by biogas, representing 14.4% gas consumption. Fuel cells (FCs) are most efficient environmentally benign convertor any device equivalent scale addition well suited for biogas utilization, which worldwide led emergence integrated commercial applications. Thus,...

Cities demand a large proportion of energy supplies while exporting significant amounts municipal solid waste (MSW). Landfill regulations, self-sufficiency and proximity principles have induced shifts in management techniques. Historically, security, best use resources, renewable climate change mitigation not been leveraged strategies. This study examines emerging treatment technologies that could make contribution the aforementioned areas potential for working at smaller scales urban...
