Sustainable construction practices and robust waste management strategies provide a viable pathway to mitigate these challenges. By integrating resource-efficient design, circular economy principles, and environmentally responsible technologies, the industry can significantly reduce its ecological burden. This paper presents a synthesis of environmental impacts from construction and a practical playbook of interventions spanning design, delivery, operations, and end-of-life. The study is organized as a systems guid [...]

This study evaluated the dynamic performance of raw Cordia africana sawdust for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) removal in a fixed-bed column system under varying operating conditions, using both synthetic solutions and real tannery wastewater. This represents the first comprehensive investigation combining fixed-bed operation, real wastewater validation, triple-model comparison, speciation analysis, and regeneration assessment for this locally abundant Ethiopian biomass. Fixed-bed column experiments were conducted at [...]

Increases in greenhouse gas emissions, a key indicator of climate change, pose significant risks and uncertainties for the agricultural industry. From a theoretical supply-side perspective, greenhouse gas emissions may be associated with agricultural productivity losses and, consequently, with potential upward risks for producer prices. However, the Toda-Yamamoto framework used in this study tests predictive Granger causality rather than the magnitude or sign of a structural price effect. This study examines the pr [...]

A Considerable amount of peel, rind, core, and fibrous residues are produced from the processing of Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), which are generally discarded, though they contain valuable lignocellulosic components. Limited information is available on the composition of the combined jackfruit processing waste stream. Thus, the present study evaluates the physicochemical and lignocellulosic properties of jackfruit processing waste obtained from local markets and prepared with equal proportions of peel [...]

Urban thermal environments reflect the relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and anthropogenic activity. The present study analyses seasonal land surface temperature, the Urban Thermal Field Variance Index (UTFVI), and night-time radiance in Jaipur, India from 2014 to 2025 using Landsat 8 Collection 2 and VIIRS Day/Night Band datasets. The Summer (April-June) and winter (November-December) median composites were generated for continuous analysis and for classified assessment. In the study, five LST an [...]

Climate variability and environmental change have increasingly become critical challenges affecting agricultural sustainability and global food security. Rice yield is particularly sensitive to climate-related factors, including rainfall variability, temperature changes, and environmental pressure. In Malaysia, rice cultivation is central to national food security and rural livelihoods, yet it remains exposed to changing climatic and environmental conditions. This study examines the relationship between climate var [...]

Wastewater from stamped batik (batik cap) — the block-printing method that dominates micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) production across Southeast Asia — is commonly discharged without a transferable design basis for continuous-flow scale. This study links batch-scale electrocoagulation-filtration (EC-F) kinetics to operational current-density projections for a 1 m3/day wastewater treatment plant, complemented by techno-economic and carbon footprint assessments. A 2 × 3 factorial batch experiment with alum [...]

This study aims to determine the physical and mechanical properties of boards developed at the Centro Experimental de la Vivienda Económica (CEVE, Experimental Center for Economic Housing) from unshredded Tetrabrik waste. The boards were produced via thermo-compaction, using the polyethylene from the outer layers of Tetrabrik containers as a binder. Their intended application is as wall panels for social housing. The performance of these new boards was compared with that of conventional market-available boards of s [...]

This study explored how organisations in Zimbabwe integrate climate risk into Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) and how this enhances sustainable value creation. The study adopted the Institutional Theory and the sensemaking lens. It employed an inductive, interpretivist, qualitative research design, utilising in-depth interviews with 11 senior professionals in accounting, operations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), sustainability, and regulatory positions. Climate risk awareness was found to be prim [...]

South America’s coastal ecosystems face increasing threats from multiple climatic stressors, including sea-level rise, ocean warming, intensifying heatwaves, shifts in ENSO patterns, ocean acidification, glacier melt, and more frequent extremes such as storms, droughts, and altered river discharges. These processes accelerate biodiversity loss, cause erosion, and deepen socio-ecological vulnerabilities. The literature review used a convergent mixed-methods approach with an embedded design, integrating quantitative [...]
