Normalized degradation results demonstrated a superior mineralization capability of piezocatalysis. Photocatalysis directly decomposed TC molecules, whereas piezocatalysis tended to induce polymerization prior to fragmentation, leading to the distinct toxicities of degradation intermediates between piezocatalysis and photocatalysis.

The requirement for thermal comfort in highly urbanized areas, particularly in countries that are emerging, is projected to increase significantly. To fulfill the thermal comfort demands, the Maisotsenko cycle-based indirect evaporative air-cooling system is the prominent choice due to the improved performance of the system compared to conventional air-cooling techniques. However, fresh water is used as a cooling media in an indirect evaporative air-cooling system, presenting a major challenge to the implementation of this cooling technique in water-deficient regions. The current study investigates the performance of the indirect evaporative air-cooling system in terms of water recovery from exhausted working air or reducing the water footprints by using the two different configurations such as passive and active water reclamation techniques, utilizing the highly-effective hydrophobic sheets and dehumidifier (Peltier module). The results indicate that the dew-point and wet-bulb effectiveness of the indirect evaporative air-cooling system are 0.80 and 1.06, respectively. Moreover, the integrated indirect evaporative air-cooling system with water recovery techniques, reduces water consumption with the average recovery achieved 208.1 kg/year to 421.5 kg/year under the actual climate conditions. In addition, the amount of water recovered results in ultimate values of the energy efficiency ratio and specific reduction in water footprints, which range from 31.57 to 73.02 and 2.84–6.14 kg/h.ton, respectively. Furthermore, a cost-benefit analysis revealed that the levelized costs of energy for the passive and active water recovery systems are 7.4 × 10<sup>−5</sup> and 3.8 × 10<sup>−5</sup> USD/kWh, respectively. These values are significantly lower than the levelized cost of energy of the indirect evaporative air-cooling system without water recovery, which ranges from 2.4 × 10<sup>−2</sup> to 5.8 × 10<sup>−2</sup> USD/kWh, indicating a substantial improvement in energy efficiency. Besides, the operating CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of passive and active water reclamation techniques are 162.35 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e/year, and 184.86 kg CO<sub>2</sub>e/year, respectively.

In this study, we examine consumer choices and willingness to pay (WTP) for food status traits such as natural preservation, freshness and traceability that are derived from microbiomes, active packaging, and smart printed QR code innovations. These innovations enhance natural preservation, freshness, and traceability, respectively and thereby reduce food waste.

Driven by the utility attributed to the packaging technologies' ability to ensure natural preservation and maintain freshness of food, we find consumers’ strong preferences for the innovations. Especially, consumers place higher value on active packaging and temperature indicators that monitor food freshness, especially for sea bass and pork meat. Also, consumers place high values on traceability and natural preservation of all case food items, highlighting the importance of smart printed QR codes and microbiomes.

This study aims to assess the viability of integrating valorization processes for managing the residues while creating value using the biorefinery approach. The assessment involves the recovery of bioactive compounds (carotenoids, phenolics, and antioxidants) through solid-liquid extraction, followed by biogas production through anaerobic digestion. The operating costs of multiple scenarios, including stand-alone processes and biorefineries, were also calculated to select the most economical route. The diluted ethanolic extraction of pre-treated (dried and milled) PP and TP presented higher total phenolic compounds expressed as gallic acid equivalents -GAE (2.66 mg<sub>GAE</sub>/g<sub>sample</sub> and 3.29 mg<sub>GAE</sub>/g<sub>sample</sub>, respectively) than raw PP and TP (1.12 mg<sub>GAE</sub>/g<sub>sample</sub> and 2.35 mg<sub>GAE</sub>/g<sub>sample</sub>, respectively). However, higher carotenoid content was obtained from untreated TP (about 1.31 mg<sub>eq-β</sub>/g<sub>sample</sub>). The methane yield of extracted PP and TP increased by about 100 % and 150 % compared to raw PP and TP, respectively. Thus, the ethanolic extraction of residues significantly improves the anaerobic digestion performance. The operating cost analysis showed that anaerobic digestion was the most economical route, with an operating ratio of 0.6. However, the biorefinery approach remains attractive for residues like TP, which yield high-value extracts, presenting an operating ratio of 0.43.
