Transitioning to a circular economy in developing countries: A collaborative approach for sharing responsibilities in solid waste management of a Brazilian craft brewery

Wesley Douglas Oliveira Silva et al.

Summary: The linear model of solid waste management in developing countries like Brazil can no longer handle the amount of waste generated, leading to environmental issues. Transitioning to a circular economy model is necessary to avoid these problems. Brazil is exploring reverse logistics and shared responsibility as a way to manage solid waste, but the transition faces challenges due to the involvement of different societal segments without defined responsibilities.

Activated carbons from co-carbonization of waste truck tires and spent tea leaves

Cansu Guclu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the co-carbonization of waste truck tires and spent tea leaves using different blend ratios and chemical activating reagents at 800°C. The highest BET surface area was obtained with the use of ZnCl2 activation at a blend ratio of 1:3 (WTT/STL), resulting in higher carbon content and lower oxygen content compared to KOH activation. The oxygen removal efficiency of ZnCl2 was also found to be higher than that of KOH, producing activated carbons with comparable BET surface areas to commercially produced activated carbons.
