1. 1. Kvillebäcken : analys och gestaltningsförslag - me[d]andra strukturer och processer

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Louise Stigsson Rigné; Emil Vernersson; [2024]
   Keywords : Urbanekologi; landskapsarkitektur; hydrologi; vattendrag; naturbaserade lösningar; blågrön infrastruktur;

   Abstract : I byggandet av hållbara städer är utveckling av blågrön infrastruktur högaktuell, och inom detta faller stort fokus på utveckling av urbana vattendrags ekologi, vattenkvalitet, och förmåga att omhänderta konsekvenser av klimatförändringar. Få vattendrag uppnår miljökvalitetsnormerna, och platsspecifika utmaningar finns i varje vattendrag. READ MORE

3. 2. Risk Factors of Food Loss and Waste, and Life Cycle Assessment of waste management strategies in the Brazilian Leafy Vegetable Supply Chain

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Nathalie Garavito; [2023]
   Keywords : Behavioural causes; carbon footprint; causal mapping; mitigation strategies; prevention; root-cause analysis; take-back agreements;

   Abstract : Food loss and waste (FLW) occurring early in the food supply chain (FSC) leads to increased resource wastage, including land, water, fertilisers, pesticides, fuel, packaging, energy, and labour. Targeting FLW prevention benefits various aspects such as food security, productivity, economic growth, climate change mitigation, resource conservation, and food waste management. READ MORE

4. 3. Towards Sustainable Coffee Packaging: A Comparative Study of Current and Future Materials for Zoégas Coffee

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Alexandra Karlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Food packaging; coffee; permeability; recyclability; shelf life.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. READ MORE

5. 4. Modelling the risk of rainfall events leading to momentary pollution levels exceeding maximum allowed concentrations - A Swedish case study of urban runoff in the Fyris river

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Tove Gannholm Johansson; [2022]
   Keywords : urban runoff; flow; rain event; pollution concentration; EQS; MAC-EQS; dagvatten; flöde; regntillfälle; föroreningskoncentration; MKN; MAC-MKN;

   Abstract : The purpose of this study was (1) to study the proportion (X) of the flow in a watercourse that consists of urban runoff during a rain event and (2) to evaluate the risk that a few chosen pollutants, transported by urban runoff, exceed the maximum allowed concentration in the watercourse according to the environmental quality standards (MAC-EQS). The Fyris river in Uppsala, Sweden, was selected as a case study. READ MORE

6. 5. Potential for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal in an activated sludge system for greywater

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Mehrzad Ghassemi; [2022]
   Keywords : Greywater; EBPR; Phosphorus; Biological treatment; Water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes.
