Composite materials are made from two of more heterogenous materials comprising of the matrix (polymer) and reinforcement (fiber). Composite materials are virtually used in every industry and are witnessing a rapid growth in its demand. This is due to the increasing demand to make end products high-performance and energy efficient. A variety of...

Waste-to-energy (WtE) conversion is gaining strategic relevance as global waste generation accelerates and environmental regulations tighten. Municipalities and industries are facing mounting pressure to reduce landfill dependence, curb methane emissions, and secure reliable low-carbon energy sources. In this context, WtE is evolving from a seconda...

In 2023, the global materials sector grappled with the adverse effects of recent geopolitical events, including war first between Russia and Ukraine and later between Israel and Hamas. The resulting shortages of labor and raw materials significantly spiked the average price of important materials in different parts of the world. Key stakeholders in...

The World Bank estimates that rapid population growth and urbanization have resulted in a global average waste generation of about 0.79 kilograms per citizen per day as of 2022. It predicts a direct relationship between waste generation and income levels and projects the daily per capita waste generation in high-income countries to increase by 19.0...
