This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the transformation of sewage sludge into energy, highlighting its potential as a sustainable strategy for resource recovery and environmental protection. The review begins by examining sludge characteristics, noting its rich nutrient content and high calorific value, making it a resource that can significantly contribute to energy needs and agricultural sustainability. It explores various conversion technologies applicable to sludge, such as anaerobic digestion and thermal treatment methods like pyrolysis and gasification, emphasizing their effectiveness in enhancing energy recovery while managing waste appropriately. Furthermore, the paper outlines the types of energy products derived from sewage sludge, including biogas and biofuels, and their implications for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from waste management systems. The feasibility of these sludge-to-energy techniques is evaluated in terms of technical, economic, and environmental factors, underscoring the importance of robust waste management strategies and favorable policy frameworks. Additionally, the environmental implications of converting sludge into energy are discussed, affirming the necessity to manage the release of contaminants and ensure that the technologies employed align with sustainability goals. In addressing innovations and emerging trends within the field, the paper identifies recent advancements in biotechnology and resource recovery methodologies that promote the circular economy. Challenges such as the presence of harmful contaminants in sludge, public perception, and regulatory hurdles are acknowledged, alongside a proposal for future research directions to enhance the viability of energy recovery from sewage sludge. Ultimately, the paper concludes by affirming that harnessing sewage sludge’s energy potential not only supports environmental conservation and resource recovery but also plays a pivotal role in meeting future energy demands sustainably.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883221","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 synthesizes findings from 15 recent case studies, demonstrating that the integration of recycled glass in construction materials not only reduces landfill waste and conserves natural resources but also enhances structural and environmental performance. By incorporating 20 % recycled glass as a replacement for traditional aggregates in concrete, compressive strength can increase by up to 15 %, while carbon emissions are reduced by approximately 30 %. The use of finely ground glass powder as a supplementary cementitious material contributes to improved durability and chemical resistance, reducing the risk of alkali-silica reaction. In geotechnical applications, recycled glass has shown significant potential in soil stabilization, enhancing load-bearing capacity, reducing permeability, and improving resilience to environmental stressors. Laboratory studies indicate that soil mixed with 10–30 % glass particles exhibits improved shear strength and reduced settlement, making it a viable alternative for sustainable road construction and foundation materials. The review also provides a comparative analysis of different glass processing methods, including particle size variation and surface treatment, and their effects on the mechanical and chemical properties of both concrete and soil. Beyond environmental advantages, the economic benefits of recycled glass integration are substantial. The use of locally sourced recycled glass reduces material costs, lowers transportation emissions, and supports job creation in the recycling and construction industries. By promoting circular economy principles, reducing energy consumption, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, the adoption of recycled glass presents a viable pathway toward a more resilient and eco-friendlier built environment. This review highlights the need for further research and policy support to maximize the potential of recycled glass in sustainable construction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143860269","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}

However, inadequate integration of community knowledge into scientific research to effectively address environmental issues remains a great challenge. This study assessed the community knowledge on the prevalent waste management practices, drinking water source systems, and the potential associated health risks using a descriptive cross-sectional design utilizing diagnostic survey questionnaires (DSQs) and oral interviews (OIs) in villages, semi-urban, and urban areas. The study reveals that 92 % of villagers rely on potentially contaminated water sources, with 43 % drinking from open surface water and 49 % from hand-dug wells. Meanwhile, open defecation remains prevalent, with 52 % of villagers resorting to this practice. The situation worsens in urban areas, where 56 % of residents dispose of waste in open dumpsites/landfills, with no access to engineered landfills. Waste burning, a hazardous practice, is employed by 27 % of the population. The data show that 17 % of the population relies on surface water, 40 % on hand-dug wells, and 36 % on boreholes, with only 5.7 % accessing treated water. 56 % of waste is disposed of in open dumpsites/landfills, 27 % is burned, 9 % is indiscriminately dumped, and 7 % is dumped in water bodies. 18 % of the population defecates openly, 30 % use pit latrines, and 55 % rely on untreated water systems for defecation. This implies that combining community knowledge with scientific research to address environmental challenges is crucial. However, the attitude of the respondents towards waste management, drinking water sources and health risks accounts for a significant variation in respondents’ education. Effective implementation of waste management practices and provision of basic sewage infrastructural systems, coupled with adequate education, is required to protect drinking water sources, prevent pandemic diseases, and safeguard the national economy and health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855191","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}
