1. 16. A Circular Solution for Plastic Waste Within Healthcare : A fully implementable solution for creating a circular end-of-life option for plastic waste using chemical recycling

   University essay from KTH/Produktionsutveckling

   Author : Bharghav Ganesh; Iliass Temsamani; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With a growing awareness of the environmental impacts associated with the disposal of healthcare plastic consumables through conventional end-of-life methods, such as landfilling and incineration, there is an increasing need to adopt more sustainable practices. This thesis explores the development of an alternative, circular economy-based solution to manage plastic waste generated by the healthcare sector, focusing on the identification of circular end-of-life strategies.

5. 19. Disentangling the Green vs. Green Dilemma to Inform Sustainable Destination Development : The Interplay between Onshore Wind Power Development and Biodiversity Conservation

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

   Author : Tural Omarov; [2023]
   Keywords : sustainable destination development; wind power; biodiversity; Mitigation Hierarchy; onshore wind; sustainable development; hållbar destinationsutveckling; vindkraft; biologisk mångfald;

   Abstract : Sustainable Destination Development implies reaching the 17 SDGs at a destination level. Climate crisis is arguably the primary challenge faced by destinations today. It is now commonly accepted that the crisis is primarily caused due to the burning of fossil fuels while converting it into energy. READ MORE

6. 20. Research on the Hydrothermal Conversion of Xylose Catalysed by CO2-H2O into Furfural

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Robert Liao; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Agricultural waste treatment and carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion have been critical challenges for sustainable development. This work is part of a study on converting straw into biofuels, which involves using xylose as the material, carbon dioxide (CO2) as the catalyst, and water (H2O) and Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL) as the solvent to produce furfural through hydrothermal conversion.
