  1. 16. Organic waste streams in the wine industry

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Hanna Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : wine; waste; utilization; grapes; residue; pomace;

    Abstract : Today, the annual global production of grapes surpasses seventy million tonnes. Of the grapes used toward winemaking, one fourth end up as pomace. In addition to pomace, vine pruning residues, stems and wastewater sludge contribute to the immense volumes of waste that for a long time has been considered as without value. READ MORE

  3. 17. Burn or Return? Evaluating Deposit Return Systems for Plastic Packaging Waste in Sweden : A Comparative Life Cycle Assessment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Martin Forsman Hedman; [2022]
    Keywords : Resource management; reuse; deposit return scheme; circular economy; polypropylene;

    Abstract : Plastics have become an integral part of modern life and global use is expected to grow almost two- fold until 2040. 40% of European demand for plastic raw materials is driven by the packaging industry and being a cheap material, focus on waste management has historically been neglected.

  4. 18. Chemical recycling, a potential solution for Sweden's plastic recycling industry in the transition to a circular economy?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Olivia Lundmark; [2022]
    Keywords : Plastic recycling; Chemical recycling; Circular economy; Transition; Multilevel framework; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Although Sweden collects and sorts a large share of plastic waste, a significant part of the separately collected plastic packaging waste is being incinerated and only 8 % of the plastic waste is being recycled into new products. As plastic is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions from waste incineration, a systematic shift is needed to decrease incineration. READ MORE

  5. 19. Modelling and Evaluation of a Waste Incineration Flue Gas Treatment Process

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Keywords : Flue gas treatment; Limestone wet flue gas desulphurization; FGD; Waste incineration; Scaling; Modelling; Simulation; Aspen Plus; Chemical Engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As environmental awareness is raised, flue gas treatment is gaining more interest and stricter legislation on emissions pushes technological development. Sysav has a waste incineration plant with a flue gas cleaning process which includes removal of acid gases. READ MORE

  6. 20. IMPLEMENTATION OF OXYFUEL COMBUSTION IN A WASTE INCINERATION CHP PLANT : A Techno-Economic Assessment

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Mostafa Saleh; Anton Hedén Sandberg; [2021]
    Keywords : CCS; Oxyfuel Combustion; Carbon Capture; Gas Separation Techniques; Waste Combustion; Cost Assessment of CCS; ASU; CPU; Wet-FGR; Dry-FGR;

    Abstract : Global energy demand is predicted to rise in the coming decades, necessitating a shift to renewable energy sources to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, due to the inability to supply renewable energy around the clock, it is estimated that only by adding an important technology, carbon capture and storage (CCS), it could be possible to reduce 80% of the 1990s greenhouse gas emissions.
