This assessment is essential for understanding the sustainability of this solution in relation to the conventional, non-biodegradable plastics commonly used for greenhouse cover materials in Ontario, thereby supporting the resiliency and sustainability of the greenhouse agriculture sector. The Ecoinvent database within SimaPro software was coupled with the key standards of ISO 14040:2006 and 14044:2006 to conduct an environmental LCA per functional unit of 1 kg of PBAT-talc film. Data consisted of primary and secondary inventory sourced from the University of Guelph Bioproducts Discovery and Development Centre and literature, respectively. Using the TRACI 2.1 method, environmental burdens were calculated and mitigated. Key hotspots emerged from the preparation, blown film, and composting stages. By incorporating sustainable energy mixes and biobased components of PBAT instead of petroleum-based compounds, the leading normalized categories of carcinogenic and ecotoxicity impacts were significantly reduced. With these suggested sensitivity modifications, PBAT-talc film proves to be the more sustainable option compared to all other conventional films. The Ontario agricultural greenhouse industry must seek greenhouse cover materials with the least environmental impacts, as this film demonstrates relative to other options. Aligning with global and national initiatives, this study addresses Ontario's greenhouse cover sustainability in the agriculture sector, with additional recommendations to further improve these outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34616,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Environmental Systems","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100360"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145474092","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}

Governance institutions are increasingly applying sustainability principles to desalination. Given the scarcity of high-quality freshwater and growing populations, desalination ensures water security in Egypt. Despite environmental impacts and high energy consumption, desalination projects are not fully integrated into green rating frameworks. However, despite their importance, limited research efforts have been made to score and rank desalination plants using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques. This research addresses this gap by proposing a sustainable assessment framework integrating sustainability, MCDM techniques and sensitivity analysis. Benchmarking regional and international rating systems to highlight sustainable categories and criteria. The developed system includes 26 criteria in seven categories: 1) General Requirements, 2) Sustainable Site, 3) Energy, 4) Water Efficiency, 5) Materials and Resources, 6) Emissions and Environment, and 7) Culture and Economy. The rating system classifies desalination plants into six levels: Unsustainable, Certified, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. A key novelty of the study is the dual application of two developed MCDM techniques, Best-Worst Method (BWM) and Full-Consistency Method (FUCOM), which are rarely used in infrastructure assessments, particularly in the desalination sector. They are used to determine categories and criteria weights. To measure the consistency between BWM and FUCOM results, a Weight Similarity Coefficient (WSC) was calculated. The overall WSC value was 0.83, indicating high consistency between the two methods. The most important and the least important categories and criteria were determined by conducting questionnaire surveys completed by desalination plants experts. The framework is applied to East Port-Said Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Desalination Plant as a case study. The Plant received a high sustainability ranking (“Silver”) with a score of 73.24 and 72.58 using BWM and FUCOM, respectively. Sensitivity analysis assesses the effectiveness of categories and criteria using deterministic and Monte Carlo regression-based analysis. Results reveal that BWM and FUCOM rankings are sensitive to category weight variations, emphasizing the importance of precise weighting in sustainability assessments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34616,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Environmental Systems","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100380"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145690410","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 proposes an innovative multi-energy generation system that integrates plasma gasification for plastic waste and anaerobic digestion for food waste, coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. This novel conceptual design aims to maximize energy recovery while reducing lifecycle emissions compared to conventional waste-to-energy (WtE) pathways. Two novel system configurations were assessed: (1) a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system, and (2) a CCHP system integrated with liquid biomethane production. Each configuration was evaluated under three CCS strategies: no CCS, pre-combustion CCS, and post-combustion CCS. The economic analysis and life cycle assessment (LCA) highlight the economic and environmental trade-offs of each design. Specifically, in Scenario 1, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) increases from 0.171 USD/kWh (no CCS) to 0.311 and 0.354 USD/kWh while in Scenario 2, the levelized cost of biomethane (LCObM) rises from 0.176 USD/kWh to 0.314 and 0.374 USD/kWh for pre- and post-combustion CCS, respectively. While CCS raises production costs, they also represent a tangible commitment to reducing emissions and underscore that transitioning to cleaner energy systems often entails higher near-term expenditures. Across both scenarios, the levelized cost of waste treatment (LCOWT) spans 0.081–0.236 USD/kg of waste. Global warming potential (GWP) ranges from −0.191 to 0.662 kgCO<sub>2</sub>-eq/kg of feedstock for Scenario 1, and 0.123 to 0.746 kgCO<sub>2</sub>-eq/kg for Scenario 2.
