We studied waste sorting behaviors influenced by community characteristics, employing an Agent-Based Model (ABM) and a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP). Results indicate that 29 % of Beijing's food waste could be suitably managed through decentralized methods with BSFL, particularly in outlying areas and densely populated suburbs. Decentralized treatment exhibits the potential to boost waste separation participation in medium-sized, close- knit communities. However, this approach encounters hurdles related to technological implementation, public perception, and urban planning.

Moreover, the massive volume of cement manufactured around the world every year adds to the urgent need to look for sustainable alternatives. This work proposes a novel calcium oxide (CaO)-activated high-volume silica fume mixture as a cementitious binder for pavement application that can address the sustainability concern with cement (because producing CaO requires a much lower calcination temperature than OPC, and that CaO is also used in low-volume in the binder). The combination of low-volume CaO and high-volume silica fume, particularly as a pavement binder has not been studied in the literature before. The compressive and flexural strength results showed that even by using a small fraction of CaO in the binder, it is possible to obtain acceptable strengths that satisfy ASTM pavement design guidelines, while OPC is unable to provide similar strengths at such low dosage. The mix having CaO content as 30 % of the silica fume content (CSF-30) shows the highest compressive strength (28d: 18.4 MPa) and flexural strength (28d: 4 MPa). In contrast, the maximum OPC-silica fume compressive and flexural strengths observed are 13.9 MPa and 2.9 MPa respectively at 28d From the microstructural results, it was seen that CaO–silica fume develops strength due to formation of calcite and calcium silicate hydrate. Almost all CaO–silica fume mixes exhibited lower porosity compared to their OPC-silica fume counterparts; CSF-30, the mix having the best mechanical performance showed the lowest porosity at 28d (2.8 %). A comparative sustainability analysis followed by a 5D analysis considering all the parameters studied in this work revealed that CSF-30 is the best binder alternative (overall score: 5.24). The results of this work will be useful for pavement users, designers, researchers, engineers, and relevant government officials, in having a sustainable clinker-free alternative pavement binder to OPC, particularly for low-volume roads, that satisfies the pavement design guidelines.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74689,"journal":{"name":"Resources, conservation & recycling advances","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 200218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667378924000178/pdfft?md5=a6dcff7e0b33d6fdb27ddf22605b0057&pid=1-s2.0-S2667378924000178-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141068279","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 addresses this gap by conducting a review of research quantifying the life cycle impact of domestic ASHPs, coupled with an examination of technology uptake and deployment.

Additionally, the study conducts a comparative analysis of the operational footprint of selected countries based on their electricity carbon footprint and the ratio of embodied to operational footprint, which ranges from 4 to 65, indicating potential for improvement. Furthermore, the study calculates the global warming potential using both the seasonal performance factor specified by a heat pump manufacturer and real-world field trial data.

Furthermore, the incorporation of plastic waste as aggregates addresses not only resource conservation but also environmental sustainability. This study conducted a comprehensive life-cycle assessment of the use of geopolymers from fly ash as a precursor with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste as a substitute for natural aggregates. It was observed that when replacing natural aggregates with PET waste to the maximum extent, the global warming potential (GWP) in the category of emissions related to aggregate preparation increased by 16.7 %. This increase was attributed to significant emissions generated during PET processing, including activities such as washing and grinding. The total GWP to produce one cubic meter of geopolymer mixture was 643.55 kgCO₂-e without PET aggregates and 667.86 kgCO₂-e with maximum use of PET aggregates. The optimization of energy-intensive PET preparation processes led to a remarkable reduction of 19.63 % for production of geopolymer mixture with maximum use of PET aggregates.

Additionally, we employ the modified Regional Integrated model of Climate and the Economy (RICE) model to project future trends in tourism-related GHG emissions across regions and countries. Our findings indicate that tourism has resulted in a reduction of 620 Mt CO₂e in global food system emissions between 2001 and 2019. Taking into account tourism development trajectories and regional economic growth, our projection suggests that GHG emissions reduction from the global food system resulting from tourism could reach a substantial 96 Mt CO₂e per year by 2100. The analysis shows that strengthening the national economy and increasing the labor force, and taking reasonable measures to change the social diet pattern in different regions can further reduce tourism embodied food GHG emissions.

Previous studies have forecasted PV waste; however, the implications of the regulations were not assessed. The present study estimates the volume and composition of end-of-life solar PV waste for the European Union and the United States. The recycling potential of generated waste and the fate of materials in end-of-life PV waste as per the present regulations is also estimated. Further, the work analyses solar manufacturers contributing to the waste and provides recommendations for improving solar PV waste management. The analysis in the present study shows that 24.93 million tonnes and 36.23 million tonnes (metric ton) of PV waste with an economic value of 189 billion USD and 262 billion USD are expected to be generated between 2025 and 2050 in the US and European Union, respectively. This work also indicates that the US lacks federal PV waste-specific management regulations and has different requirements across the states. In contrast, European countries have adopted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in their national legislations in addition to country-specific PV manufacturer compliance schemes. Due to the lack of regulations, 20 MT of PV waste is expected to be disposed of in landfills in the US. Chinese manufacturers like Tongwei, Aiko, and LONGi are leading manufacturers of PV shipments globally. They could play a significant role in PV recycling and management if they adopt take-back programs and invest in recycling, contributing to future end-of-life PV waste management. In light of these observations, a need for greater synchronization between federal and state-level end-of-life PV regulations, collaboration among recyclers and PV industry stakeholders, and continued research and knowledge sharing is recommended.
