This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on the deployment of high-temperature pyrolysis processes for the conversion of end-of-life tires (ELTs) into value added feedstock. The TOE covers innovations based on using automated vertical farms for growing various crops with high yields while ensuring high resource and cost...

Increase in waste generation and the subsequent irresponsible dumping of waste is identified as the fast-growing problem causing significant damage to environment, aquatic ecosystem, and human health. Industrialization, urbanization and the associated economic growth will face significant challenges if sound waste management practices are not put i...

The impact of economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization is directly related to the rise in emissions of toxic and harmful pollutants, often related to human activity. Air pollution can affect both human and environmental health, causing diseases and atmospheric phenomena such as smog and acid rain. Pollutants (solid particles, liqu...

Today, the vast majority of plastic is still made from fossil fuel and is designed to be durable. However, the twin challenges of reducing fossil fuel consumption and decreasing plastic waste brought in some significant changes to the plastic industry in 2022. Options to counter these challenges include the use of plastic that is biobased or biodeg...

Europe has been faced with unprecedented heatwaves and droughts triggered by climate change. This has affected surface and groundwater availability across regions, leading to water use restrictions and investment in water reuse infrastructure.Southern European countries such as Spain, Cyprus, Malta, and Greece have invested in desalination as an al...

The gap between energy demand and supply is one of the major global challenges and simultaneously, the replacement of coal, oil and natural gas with carbon dioxide lean or neutral fuels has also become very crucial . The development of technologies accelerating renewable and sustainable energy generation provides alternatives to the current fuel s...

The circular economy for used electrical and electronic equipment (used EEE) in India is experiencing transformational growth as an expanding domestic electronics manufacturing industry, rapid digitalization, and shorter electronics replacement cycles intersect with a stricter policy environment and the rise of value-driven business models. The unr...

This research service analyzes the European Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) Recycling market. It describes the present status of recycling technologies and waste volume management. The WEEE covered in this research includes municipal solid waste (European Waste Catalog code 20) and industrial waste (EWC code 16). Hazardous wastes ...

Next-generation fermentation pathways for sustainable fuel production represent an evolving suite of biological and bio-electrochemical processes designed to convert diverse carbon sources, such as CO₂, biomass, waste gases, and organic residues, into liquid fuels. These approaches integrate advances in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and...
