This hesitancy limits the critical assessment of their contributions to circularity, safety and sustainability, and ultimately their impact. This paper comprehensively explores the complexities of integrating circularity into novel biomanufacturing research that valorises waste- and side streams. We propose addressing these intricacies by making frameworks like Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) and LCT more accessible to early-career researchers who work on circular (bio)economy topics, which increasingly require transdisciplinary collaboration and approaches to thrive. Here, we use a combinatorial approach to shed light on this topic, undergoing a desk study, semi-structured expert interviews, and integrating a hands-on experimental project to our learnings, where we applied the SSbD concept to early experimental decision-making and for critical reflection. Moreover, we present an overview of concept levels that should be assessed to understand the impact of a production process, highlight key EU regulatory frameworks, and showcase relevant literature for a structured approach for more sustainable development in manufacturing. Our findings emphasise the lack of a clear waste definition and management consensus, unfair competition with the highly optimised, subsidised, fossil-based industries, misaligned regulation to facilitate international resource management and infrastructure, and the absence of standardised, holistic cost-environmental-social impact assessments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 146685"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145209395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/clay nanocomposites were prepared through emulsion blending, and vulcanized rubbers were prepared according to the standard test method for evaluating SBR. The clay was dispersed at the nanoscale within the rubber matrix, and the nanocomposite exhibited an enhanced thermal stability. Wetting the clay surface with paraffin oil improved the processability of the nanocomposites. Compared with rubber reinforced only with carbon black, substituting rubber with clay led to a 27 % increase in 100 % constant elongation stress, while also increasing the elongation from 424.5 % to 554.0 % when carbon black was partially replaced by clay. The mechanical properties can be adjusted by varying the ratios of rubber, clay, and carbon black. Based on this, in order to reduce subsequent mechanical mixing pollution and decrease the mixing time, carbon black was dispersed in water, and SBR/clay/carbon black nanocomposites were prepared using emulsion blending. Compared with the mechanical mixing, the SBR/clay/carbon black nanocomposites prepared using emulsion blending exhibited better mechanical properties, wet skid resistance, and lower rolling resistance. This approach allows the clay to reduce the amount of raw rubber and carbon black required in the final rubber products, thereby reducing petroleum consumption, lowering costs, reducing carbon emissions, and reducing pollution during the production process. This aligns with the principles of green chemistry and cleaner production and demonstrates its promising application value in the rubber industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 146777"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145216064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deepening N placement while reducing application rates offers a promising strategy to improve N balance, but remains underrepresented in field studies, especially in semi-arid regions. Here, we used a two-year field experiment combining three N rates [conventional (225 kg N ha⁻¹) and two reduced rates (191 and 158 kg N ha⁻¹, representing 15 % and 30 % reductions)] with four placement depths (5, 15, 25, and 35 cm) to assess their interactive effects on N balance in dryland maize systems. We quantified N inputs (seed, fertilization, atmospheric deposition), outputs (crop uptake, NH₃ volatilization, N₂O emissions, and leaching), and soil N retention over two growing seasons with contrasting rainfall patterns. Reducing N inputs generally decreased gaseous N losses, crop N uptake, and grain yield, ultimately lowering overall N balance. Regardless of application rate, deep N placement significantly reduced gaseous N losses and improved crop N uptake compared to shallow placement (5 cm), effectively compensating for yield losses due to reduced N application. A 15 % N reduction combined with 25 cm placement resulted in the lowest N balance and highest economic return by minimizing both gaseous and hydrological N losses. This combination also increased crop N uptake and grain yield by 13.8 % and 12.5 %, respectively, relative to the conventional practice. Moreover, deep placement with reduced N demonstrated greater resilience to extreme rainfall, helping to stabilize N balance. These findings highlight the potential of optimized placement depth to reduce N use while enhancing environmental and economic benefits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 146712"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145209370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Minitab to simulate the optimal raw material ratio (61.4 % dredged sediment, 14.4 % sewage sludge, and 24.2 % fly ash), we obtained ceramic particles with high P adsorption capacity (0.750 mg/g) and porosity (36.8 %). Characterization indicated that P adsorption was driven by chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and electrostatic attraction. In an <em>in-situ</em> remediation experiment, the particles significantly increased dissolved oxygen (0.462 → 5.26 mg/L), improved riverbed stability, and reduced erosion depth under wind disturbance by 63.8–64.1 %. Under weak to moderate winds, sediment resuspension decreased by 24.4 and 22.2 g/m², and sediment P release flux was substantially lowered. Even under strong winds, the P release flux in the backfill group decreased by 87.2 % compared with the control. The process also followed the principle of “treating waste with waste,” as P resources were recovered using a simple NaOH leaching agent, enabling regeneration and reuse of the ceramic particles—remarkably, regenerated particles maintained adsorption performance with only minimal decline. In conclusion, solid waste ceramic particles represent a cost-effective and sustainable strategy for managing polluted sediments, while also facilitating P recovery and reuse. This work provides a theoretical basis for sediment pollution control and supports ecological governance and restoration of rivers and lakes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 146725"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145209392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
