6. Mixed fuels composed of household waste and waste wood : Characterization, combustion behaviour and potential emissions
Abstract : Incineration with energy recovery is the main disposal strategy for waste that cannot be reused or recycled, and a well-established source of energy in Europe, especially in Sweden where 2.2 Mtonnes of waste including domestic and imported municipal solid waste (MSW) and waste wood (WW) were combusted during 2015.

7. Wood Templated Organic Electronics
Abstract : In today’s digital era, electronics are integral to most activities in our daily lives, offering swift and global communication, powerful data processing tools, and advanced sensor devices. However, there are drawbacks to the exponentially growing demand for electronics, such as the depletion of fossil resources, and the complexities surrounding recycling electronic waste (E-waste).

8. Circularity Assessment of Water and Waste in Cities : A Proposed Framework for Sustainable Performance Evaluation using LCA and LCC
Abstract : Urbanization is a global phenomenon, happening on a massive scale and at a rapid rate, with 68% of the planet’s population predicted to be living in cities by 2050 (UN-DESA, 2018). The sustainability of a city (Goal 11 of UN SDGs) undergoing rapid urbanization depends on its ability to maintain a low consumption of resources and materials at any given time (referred to as the urban metabolic rate), whilst simultaneously providing essential municipal services to its inhabitants, such as a water supply, wastewater treatment and solid waste management.

9. Household food waste management – Evaluations of current status and potential improvements using life-cycle assessment methodology
Abstract : An increased understanding of the world’s limited resources and the negative environmental impacts connected to solid waste management has in recent years increased interest in separate collection and treatment of organic waste in many parts of the world. As an example, increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (SEPA, 2006) and the national environmental objectives state that 35% of all organic household waste should be treated biologically by 2010 (SEPA, 2007).

10. Steam Cracking of Polyolefins in Fluidized Bed Systems: Influences of the Bed Materials on the Hydrogen Transfer Reactions
Abstract : Plastic materials are crucial to the supply of everyday necessities, such as clothes, packaging, and building materials. Most plastic materials are disposed of after a short period of use due to their low cost of production. The linear use of plastics has resulted in high levels of plastic waste materials. READ MORE
