Efficiency evaluation and loan assessment of fashion upcyclers in Liberia using fuzzy, DEA and FIS models

Peter Davis Sumo et al.

Summary: This study contributes to the literature on textile upcycling by assessing the coping strategies and challenges faced by fashion upcyclers in Liberia. The results show that upcycling in Liberia is expanding with innovative designs, but many upcycling businesses lack sufficient capital for long-term investments. The proposed hybrid model and fuzzy Mamdani system have managerial and policy implications for enhancing the fashion upcycling sectors in developing countries.

Discovery and quantification of plastic particle pollution in human blood

Heather A. Leslie et al.

Summary: Plastic particles are widespread pollutants in the environment and food chain, and this study successfully developed a method to measure the presence of plastic particles in human blood. The study found four high production volume polymers in blood samples and demonstrated that plastic particles can be taken up by the human bloodstream.

Strategies of Recovery and Organic Recycling Used in Textile Waste Management

Irena Wojnowska-Baryla et al.

Summary: Post-consumer bio-based textile wastes are garments or household articles made from manufactured bio-based textiles that are discarded by the owner. These waste materials should ideally be organically recycled, but difficulties in selective collection and sorting hinder the process. The diverse materials in waste textiles, including natural and synthetic fibers, pose challenges for bioprocessing.

Detection of microplastics in human lung tissue using μFTIR spectroscopy

Lauren C. Jenner et al.

Summary: Airborne microplastics (MPs) have been found to have increased concentrations in areas with high human population and activity, especially indoors. This study analyzed human lung tissue samples and identified 39 MPs in 11 out of 13 samples, with an average concentration of 1.42 +/- 1.50 MP/g of tissue. The most abundant polymer types were polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and resin. The study also found that MPs were present in all regions of the lung, with significantly higher levels in the lower region compared to the upper and middle regions. These findings suggest that inhalation is a route of exposure for environmental MPs.
