Sustainable Cement Composite Integrating Waste Cellulose Fibre: A Comprehensive Review

Sarah Fernando et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the research conducted so far on cement-based composites reinforced with waste paper-based cellulose fibres, focusing on their composition, mechanical properties, and durability characteristics. The properties of the raw materials significantly affect the formation of the cement composite binders. Silica and magnesium compounds have positive effects on the setting of the cement composite when combined with waste paper cellulose fibres. The dispersion of fibres in the matrix is crucial for developing composites with well-balanced mechanical properties using waste paper cellulose fibres. Water quantity plays a role in improving fibre dispersion, but higher porosity and voids affect the strength properties beyond an optimum water-to-cement ratio.

Risk of intact forest landscape loss goes beyond global agricultural supply chains

Siyi Kan et al.

Summary: Despite global conservation initiatives, unfragmented intact forest landscapes (IFLs) continue to be lost due to various economic activities. Non-agricultural products are major contributors to IFL loss, with over 60% linked to final consumption. Export, primarily from Russia, Canada, and tropical regions, accounts for more than one-third of IFL loss, with logging and mining as the major causes. It is crucial for governments to engage and intervene in supply chains to address the dispersed drivers of IFL loss and their indirect links to individual consumers.

Environmental assessment of recycling waste corrugated cartons from online shopping of Chinese university students

Guosong Ma et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the characteristics of waste corrugated cartons generated by college students in China and evaluated the environmental impacts of the recycling process. Results showed that doctoral students and female students were more active in online shopping, leading to a higher generation of waste corrugated cartons. By reducing the generation of corrugated cartons and making the recycling chain more environmentally sustainable, joint efforts from universities, students, and recycling enterprises are needed.

A Study on Recovery Rate, Storage Loss Rate and Recovery Cycle of Chinese Paper Products Based on Kyock Model

Xiaodi Zhao et al.

Summary: By utilizing the Koyck model, this study estimated the recovery rate, storage loss rate, and recovery cycle of paper products in China in 2017, revealing an improvement in recovery rate but higher storage loss rate compared to developed countries and a recovery cycle close to that of developed nations. The research also found significant variations in storage loss rate and recovery cycle of Chinese paper products over time.

The Impact of Waste Paper Recycling on the Carbon Emissions from China's Paper Industry

Di Shang et al.

Summary: The study found a negative correlation between China's waste paper recovery rate and CO2 emissions, showing that waste paper recycling has a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions from the paper industry. Although China's waste paper recovery rate is relatively high, there is still room for improvement to further reduce carbon emissions from the paper industry.

De-risking resource recovery value chains for a circular economy - Accounting for supply and demand variations in recycled aggregate concrete

Srikanth Prakash et al.

Summary: The use of recycled material as an alternative constituent material in products at an industrial scale poses risks to the supply chain. In particular, replacing natural coarse aggregate with recycled concrete aggregate in concrete production can lead to increased variability in supply, as the supply of coarse aggregate for ready-mix concrete production depends on the availability of crushed recycled concrete aggregate. This study analyzes the behavior of the supply chain using recycled concrete aggregate through dynamic model-based simulations to meet market demand while accounting for supply and demand variations.

Material Flow Patterns of the Global Waste Paper Trade and Potential Impacts of China's Import Ban

Zijie Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that China's ban on global waste paper cycles has led to changes in the global waste paper trade network, including a decline in trade volume and a shift in import centers. Some developed countries began reducing exports of unsorted waste paper after 2017, but changes in waste paper trade patterns for many major importers seemed to be unrelated to China's ban.
