The world’s global plastics waste crisis demands policy coordination and technological solutions to improve management systems, organizations worldwide have created momentum around the concept of a circular economy. This paper advances holistic, inclusive economy framework that aims empower pickers with following basic pillars: (1) build collaborative networks stakeholders enable inclusion pickers; (2) establish cooperative enterprise models integrate into formal economy; (3) pickers’...

The health effects of particulate matter (PM) are well-documented, with long-term exposure to elevated concentrations respirable PM linked increased risks respiratory conditions such as allergic reactions, lung inflammation, and asthma. A key contributor these is the oxidative stress induced by PM, stemming from heavy metals generation reactive oxygen species (ROS).In this study, we measured potential (OP) dust inhalable collected households in Slovenia, Sweden, UK part international INQUIRE...

This paper explores the extent to which commu­nity farming can be a component of community-based circular food system. Community is part broader pattern civic agriculture, whereby more localized production and con­sumption are linked wider, sometimes global, set economic, social environmental factors. However, although aspects community farming, notably supported agriculture (CSA) care (or social) have been well defined studied, as process has not. Fur­thermore, there limited number...

In this paper, I analyze the ways in which US anti-sweatshop movement – particularly United Students Against Sweatshops and Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) has engaged a process of strategic innovation face new challenges. While scholars social movements have studied outcome strategy there been less attention to how develop strategizing. This involves dialectic between experience, consolidated form models, ideology, that is values, theory, norms movement. When encountered obstacles, they...

A septage bioreactor landfill was constructed and operated at a publicly owned in the U.S. state of Michigan. Residential processed onsite injected into municipal solid waste (MSW) using subsurface injection lines (for supernatant) surface infiltration pits sludge) to accelerate waste-decomposition process. For comparison, leachate also onsite. By comparing system performance from both bioreactors, impact addition identified. Extensive datasets consisting parameters such as temperature,...

Abstract Legacy radioactive waste from nuclear weapons material processing is the biggest environmental challenge in state of South Carolina, and one United States. Although substantial progress has been made vitrifying high‐level at Savannah River site, approximately 35 million gallons remains to be treated dispositioned. In this article, we show development a new defoamer for use waste. The application not only more effective controlling foam but will shorten batch time leading safer...

I explore the ideology of worker empowerment among U.S. anti-sweatshop activists, particularly United Students Against Sweatshops, and its strategic consequences for transnational campaigns. This is central in shaping movement’s strategy organization, fostering communication accountability, to organizations representing sweatshop workers. Such organizational choices, turn, shape how networks strategize. For example, movement rarely uses familiar tactic boycotts, due opposition from The more...
