Material recovery facilities (MRFs) are essential components of the circular economy, acting as intermediaries that process recyclable materials for reuse or further recycling. They are a vital link in the solid waste management value chain, processing waste collected from various sources and preparing valuable recyclables for resale to manufacture...

This paper examines how various individuals will spend their free time in the year 2030. This is a particularly relevant area of inquiry at a time when many questions have been raised on the impact on free time from evolving technology such artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). This paper provides a definition of f...

The COVID-19 pandemic has revitalized the importance of resilient and future-ready water and wastewater infrastructure. Municipalities and industries across the globe have begun adopting net-zero, decarbonization, and circularity goals to become sustainable, resilient, and future ready. IoT-based solutions have become a vital cog in helping end use...

A Food Waste Disposer (FWD) is a device, which is usually electrically powered and installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap. It shreds food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm (0.079 in)—to pass through plumbing. Increasing per capita income, affordability, dual-income population, space constraint and...

Fears of a global recession have been compounding in the recent past, with emerging signs of weakness in economic growth and other high-frequency parameters. The Russo-Ukrainian war has weakened global economic sentiment, with aggressive central bank interest rate hikes to curtail inflation also fueling recessionary fears. To provide decision-ma...

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on synthesis of cellulosic ethanol via integrated enzyme technology, AI-driven insect farming with automated vertical stacks, enhanced selectivity and permeability through osmosis for water filtration, lithium-ion battery recycling using ultrasonic oil-water emulsions, among othe...

Industries and countries across the world are facing three crucial challenges: waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, and limited resource availability. Sustainably recycling and reusing products (i.e., supply chain circularization) can address these aforementioned challenges. Despite this advantage, the deployment of a circular economy in mos...

Industry perceptions of waste are being redefined by the upcycling movement, which views it as an untapped source of innovation and value rather than a problem. Upcycling has emerged as a key trend enabling the creation of high-value materials from waste and by-products for food, cosmetics, packaging, textiles, and biotech industries. The growing r...

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...
