Transitioning to a circular economy is one way to reduce organic construction waste in landfills and, therefore, reduce methane emissions. Modular construction techniques present one approach to advance circular economy in construction. This study examines whether volumetric modular construction produces less wood framing waste than traditional site-built construction. Using a comparative case study method, researchers found that the controlled factory environment of volumetric modular construction allowed for substantially increased wood waste aversion and diversion over traditional site-built construction. Our findings suggest wood waste savings of 32 % and an 88–91 % reduction in waste that went to the landfill. Even allowing for differences in measurement accuracy and the inferential limitations of case studies, our results provide new evidence regarding the relative efficiency and environmental impact of volumetric modular construction. Further, this study highlights that modular construction techniques intrinsically support the aims of a circular economy through elimination of waste through superior design and systems. While this study focused on wood materials within a given industry sector and region, opportunities for further research to expand this study through the investigation of other materials within the off-site construction industry exist.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143705406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the performance enhancement of Natural Asphalt (NA) using Sugarcane Molasses (SM) and Waste Engine Oil (WEO). The modified blends were prepared by partially replacing 50 % NA with varying proportions of SM and WEO ranging from 10 % to 40 % of the total weight of NA. Comprehensive testing was conducted, including penetration, softening point, ductility, viscosity, Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR), Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that modified blends with a high WEO content significantly increased fluidity, reducing rotational viscosity by up to 91 % for the blend with 40 % WEO and 10 % SM at 135 °C. Conversely, higher SM content increased stiffness, as seen in the blend with 40 % SM and 10 % WEO, with penetration values rising by 305 % compared to unmodified NA. Rheological testing showed that the 40 % SM and 10 % WEO blend achieved the highest rutting resistance with a Performance Grade (PG) of 88 °C, while the 40 % WEO and 10 % SM blend exhibited the best fatigue resistance with a 55 % reduction in G* .sinδ. Low-temperature performance was significantly improved across all blends, with the 40 % WEO and 10 % SM blend achieving the lowest creep stiffness and highest m-value, ensuring superior thermal cracking resistance. Chemical analysis revealed increased oxygen content (18.6 %) and reduced sulfur content (60 %) in the 40 % SM and 10 % WEO blend, indicating enhanced oxidation resistance. SEM analysis confirmed the development of dense morphology in the 40 % SM and 10 % WEO blend, correlating with superior structural integrity. Grey decision analysis identified the 40 % SM and 10 % WEO blend as the optimal blend with the lowest bull’s-eye distance, reflecting balanced performance across all parameters.

Agricultural soils are contaminated with toxic metals such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by wastewater irrigation leading to the uptake of the metals by plants. In this study, shea nut shell biochar, groundnut shell biochar, raw shea nut shell, and raw groundnut shell adsorbents were amended with soil to reduce the uptake of Pb and Cd by lettuce grown under wastewater irrigation. Two particle sizes of each adsorbent; &lt; 5 mm and &gt; 5 mm each was added to the soil at ratios of 1:2 and 1:5. The plants were grown for 52 days and irrigated with synthetic wastewater for 38 days before harvesting. There was a significant difference (p &lt; 0.001) in the concentration of Pb and Cd in the tissues of lettuce and soil among treatments. Treatment with a 1:2 (biochar to soil) recorded the lowest concentrations of Pb and Cd in the soil and lettuce. The concentration of Pb and Cd in the soil ranged from 0.64 ± 0.0025 mg/kg to 1.99 ± 0.0025 mg/kg and 0.12 ± 0.001 mg/kg to 0.27 ± 0.0185 mg/kg respectively. &lt; 5 mm shea nut shell biochar at a ratio of 1:2 treated soils recorded the lowest concentrations of Pb and Cd, whereas the highest concentrations were recorded in the control.

Medical waste from healthcare centers is particularly concerning due to its hazardous nature, necessitating effective management strategies. This study addresses key challenges in Medical Waste Management Systems (MWMS), including fluctuating waste generation, diverse waste types, incompatible handling practices, container and truck management, and the need for sustainable circular waste management. To tackle these issues, we developed a two-stage Stochastic Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model to optimize MWMS network design. The model incorporates revenue generation from recycling, Waste-to-Energy (WTE) conversion, and container reuse while minimizing costs and environmental impacts. The model’s robustness is enhanced through data-driven parameter estimation, treatment technology selection, and revenue forecasting. To efficiently address the computational complexities associated with large-scale stochastic optimization, we employed a combination of the Sample Average Approximation (SAA) technique and a novel Hybrid algorithm that integrates deterministic optimization with metaheuristic methods, enhancing solution robustness and scalability. The model’s efficacy was validated through a case study in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, where results demonstrated a 90.5 % reduction in computational time and a 56.7 % reduction in binary variables compared to the original model. The optimized solution achieved an annual waste disposal capacity of 300,000 tons, with an average revenue of $55 million, including $24.1 million from waste disposal, $17.1 million from recycled products and electricity, and $12.3 million from container reuse. Additionally, the network design reduced operational costs to $29.6 million and transportation costs to $6.4 million. This research contributes to the field by addressing gaps related to waste-to-container compatibility, revenue generation from reused materials, and uncertainty management. Future work may focus on enhancing predictive models for waste generation, integrating real-time data analytics, and expanding the framework to other regions with diverse waste management challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, 133 valid responses were collected and analyzed by using different statistical techniques, including normalized mean technique, quartile analysis, overlapping analysis, contextual disparities analysis, and Spearman’s correlation analysis. The analysis pinpointed 16 critical causes of CW. Significantly, “design complexity”, “errors in contract documents”, “frequent design changes”, and “slow drawing revision and distribution” were identified as paramount. The comparison with previous studies underscores how addressing the critical causes of CW using BIM can contribute to sustainable construction practices. In all, the findings provide valuable insights for mitigating CW in Nigeria and similar contexts in developing economies. Similarly, it can also guide international efforts to reduce CW in construction sectors globally, encouraging countries to address similar critical causes of CW using BIM sustainably.
