Button mushroom (<em>Agaricus bisporus</em>) production accounts for a significant portion of global production and even more in Europe and North America. The cultivation of <em>A. bisporus</em> relies on the production of a compost (also known as substrate) designed specifically for <em>A. bisporus</em>’ cultivation requirements. Previous studies have shown compost as a potentially important hotspot in the mushroom cultivation life cycle, yet few studies have assessed it as its own product. It is important to carefully evaluate the processes involved in compost production as it is strongly linked with other agricultural activities. This research conducts a life cycle assessment (LCA) on the production of mushroom compost using an Irish system as a case study. The ingredients for compost production (e.g. wheat straw) as well as some production processes themselves (e.g. composting) are highlighted as hotspots. The LCA shows that materials from other agricultural processes can contribute highly to the overall emissions of the compost. For example, wheat straw contributes 36% to ‘climate change’ impact category, and 94% and 95% to ‘freshwater eutrophication’ and ‘marine eutrophication’ categories, respectively. However, the allocation method has a significant impact on the extent of contribution from these agricultural co-products. A mass based allocation increases the contribution of wheat straw in most impact categories compared to an economic allocation. Furthermore, economic allocation produces different impacts depending on the jurisdiction in question and its legislative support of waste reuse and the circular economy. This research demonstrates how the impact of compost production can vary across jurisdictions due to the value given to ‘waste’ products. This has significant importance to the mushroom industry in terms of understanding their emissions and reaching climate-net zero targets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100250,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims at providing insights on how to possibly overcome such barriers, to enable and promote large scale industrial uptake of microalgae. Hereby, it summarizes current dewatering and drying methods, discussing their benefits and limitations. Pathways that can help overcome these barriers and enable industrial microalgae production are then discussed. Principles such as process optimization, exhaust drying heat recirculation, heat pump integration and industrial symbiosis are viable pathways that can enable industrial applicability. The review also presents how industrial side-streams, like wastewaters, excess heat and fume gas can be utilized in circular ways to promote cost-effective production and increased sustainability of different industries. The review aims to complement existing literature on microalgae harvesting, by adding and highlighting the importance of scaling-up and the necessity of removing barriers related to high production costs to achieve a sustainable circular economy. These insights into currently applied technologies and possibilities for industry symbiosis are beneficial for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders striving to align microalgae production with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7, SDG 12, and SDG 13, by offering practical pathways to reduce energy demands, promote circular economy principles, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in industrial systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100250,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the combined effects of pretreating old corrugated container (OCC) pulp, a type of recycled fiber, with surfactants and optimizing drying conditions to enhance dewatering efficiency and mechanical properties of packaging grades. Two surfactants- cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, and alcohol ethoxylate (NS), a non-ionic surfactant were employed for the recycled fiber modification. Packaging handsheets were prepared under various drying conditions, and their surface morphology and cross-sectional structure were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The degree of chemical interactions in surfactant-fiber systems were evaluated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Surfactant treatment effectively reduced surface tension to ∼47 mN/m, facilitating lower pulling forces, improved fiber dispersion and enhanced dewatering, with a drainage rate increase of 1.56-fold and reductions in hard-to-remove water (HRW) and water retention value (WRV) by ∼49 % and ∼13 %, respectively. SEM analysis revealed a more uniform handsheet morphology and the formation of fibril bridges, contributing to enhanced mechanical properties. Maximum values achieved included a tensile index of 54.1 Nm/g, ring crush test (RCT) strength of 12 Nm/g, and short-span compression test (STFI) strength of 31 Nm/g.

Value chain analysis is a widely used method to assess business activities and recognize which activities are the most useful and can be improved to create a competitive advantage for a business. A comprehensive study was conducted to understand the value chain and identify opportunities and constraints. The data for the study were collected through surveys, interviews, and observations involving various stakeholders, such as producers, processors, traders, brokers, consumers, and other stakeholders, that influence the value chain. The analysis was undertaken following the combined analysis framework developed by the United Nations International Development Organization (UNIDO), making the market better for the poor (M4P), and Kaplinsky and Morris for value chain actors. In the Hula and Gumer districts selected for this study, 274 smallholder highland bamboo producers were randomly surveyed using a probability proportional to size sampling procedure. Additionally, other actors in the value chain were purposefully selected. The findings showed that key actors in the highland bamboo value chain were smallholder producers, brokers, wholesalers, processors, recreational house constructors, and consumers. Each actor contributed to adding value in different ways through form-type and place-type value-addition strategies. Among the five main channels selected, the manufacturing industry channel (Channel VII and VIII) generates the highest value for bamboo culms which was USD 3.836 per culm. Processors using modernized machines not only reduced processing costs but also enabled the handling of a larger volume of raw materials while ensuring a higher production output with extraordinary efficiency. This study suggests that it is necessary to empower actors by improving their awareness, establishing better linkages, and accessing information to make effective value addition and increase commercialization. In addition to this, this study’s results indicated that policymakers should focus on improving infrastructural access, such as roads and electric power supply, and providing treating machines, chemicals, and processing machines which are necessary for further improvements in the chain performance of bamboo commercialization. Finally, findings in the study suggested that shifting the chain from low-value to high-value addition, upgrading small artisanal processors to manufacturing units, and supporting highland bamboo processing industries enhance overall well-being of the country.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100250,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144890595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing emissions with respect to the possible switch between given alternatives to conventionals, overall, our results suggest pulses and chickpeas to be the best alternative substitutes for beef-veal and sheep meat to achieve substantial emission reduction in the three regions.
