11. Evaluation of pollutant removal performance of stormwater biofilters in a Swedish climate : Comparison of three different filter media designs
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : In the recent century, a process of urbanization has increased globally. Previously rural or natural land have been converted into impervious surfaces to make way for housing, industries, and roads. This anthropogenic process has resulted in an increased amount of surface runoff from precipitation, so-called stormwater. READ MORE

12. Mapping the market of unrefined forest industry by-products in northern Sweden : industry by-product variation, county supply-demand balance, and optimization of transport cost
University essay from SLU/Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology (from 131204)Abstract : The forest industry plays an important role in the climate system. The need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases is emergent, from a global perspective they are the driving force behind climate change. To reduce emissions, by-products from the forest industry can substitute fossil-based products. READ MORE

14. The discoloration of polyethylene obtained from chemical separation of laminates: Investigating additives and other potential causes
University essay from Lunds universitet/FörpackningslogistikAbstract : PolyAl, the material composed of laminated polyethylene (PE) films and aluminum (Al) in carton, is a challenge in recycling due to the strong adhesion of the layers and the low value of the end products. In Europe, recent efforts to improve the circularity of carton packages include the chemical separation of PolyAl, in order to obtain higher values of the PE and Al separately. READ MORE

15. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE
