Methane production from anaerobic co-digestion of orange peel waste and organic fraction of municipal solid waste in batch and semi-continuous reactors

Rokaya Bouaita et al.

Summary: A large amount of orange peel waste is produced every year due to high orange production worldwide. This waste is often dumped without proper treatment, causing environmental issues. Anaerobic digestion is suggested as an effective treatment for orange peel waste, but the high content of limonene can inhibit the biological activity. Anaerobic co-digestion with organic fraction of municipal solid waste can reduce the limonene concentration. The limonene content is directly related to the organic loading rate, and the maximum stable organic loading rate was found to be 2 g(VS)(L-1.day(-1)).

Mapping and testing circular economy product-level indicators: A critical review

Adeline Jerome et al.

Summary: This review fills the gap in understanding the specificities captured by circular economy (CE) indicators and their application in real cases, by describing and comparing the resource-related effects captured by existing resource-based product-level indicators. The study maps the flows and processes quantified by these indicators, tests them on seven real cases, and compares the results with life cycle assessment (LCA) findings. The review reveals significant divergence in the scope of the indicators, with limited consideration for important aspects of the CE such as resource use in the use phase and lifetime extension strategies. The study highlights the need for a set of single-focus indicators to outline trade-offs and suggests that CE indicators cannot easily replace LCA.

Summary: This paper assesses the impact of using recycled wood shavings as a circular economy strategy on greenhouse gas emissions in the production of wood bio-concretes. It was found that increasing the content of waste wood shavings can mitigate climate change, but this benefit depends on the availability and transport efficiency of the shavings. When considering CO2 capture during the growth of eucalyptus, the GHG emissions of WBC production can be very low, making it a good CO2 sink for the low-carbon and circular construction industry.
