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...

Food waste management has gained increased emphasis in recent times, especially in the context of the recently adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The initiative is driven mainly by the need to address declining natural resources, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to reduce waste disposal into landfills. The current study gi...

This research service provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical recycling of plastic packaging market. Chemical recycling is an important complementary solution to the well-established mechanical recycling of plastic packaging, enabling the processing of hard-to-recycle, mixed, and contaminated plastic waste. Chemical recycling offers a muc...

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...

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on sustainable paper production, plastic waste valorization, depolymerization of PET waste, anaerobic fermentation for acid and biogas production, photobioreactors systems for algae cultivation, methane pyrolysis for sustainable industry materials, carbon capture for industrial p...

The circular economy approach involves initiatives across material and product life cycles, supporting sustainable resource consumption and waste prevention by assimilating high-tech solutions. The global resource management sector is transitioning toward greater digital technology adoption using disruptive smart technologies and platform-based sol...

The recyclable and biodegradable plastics sector is entering into a new phase focused on application-specific circularity, system-fit design, and credible end-of-life solutions. Recyclable platforms such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP) are growing rapidly due to improved collection systems and increase...

Rigid packaging is packaging that maintains its shape and form, exhibiting no or limited elastic deformation, and is generally self-supporting and free-standing. Plastic is the material of choice because it is lighter, versatile, chemically inert, durable, and inexpensive. Packaging also plays a critical role in marketing. Eye-catching packaging...
