Environmental sustainability assessment of biodegradable bio-based poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) from agro-residues : production and end-of-life scenarios Universiteit Gent
In the context of a circular bio-based economy, more public attention has been paid to the environmental sustainability of biodegradable bio-based plastics, particularly plastics produced using emerging biotechnologies, e.g. poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) or PHBV. However, this has not been thoroughly investigated in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to address three aspects regarding the environmental impact of ...
Environmental resources sustainability indicators: an integrated assessment model for Tanzania Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Environmental sustainability assessment of pharmaceutical synthesis steps : case studies and resource consumption modeling Universiteit Gent
Multi criteria sustainability assessment of biogas production in Kenya Universiteit Gent
Environmental sustainability assessment of algae production systems : methodological development and case studies Universiteit Gent
A growing demand for resources and competition for land use, especially critical for Europe, is fueling the search for renewable and sustainable products. Innovative, resource-efficient and integrated approaches such as the development of marine biomass fed into integrated biorefineries may bring sustainable and cost-effective solutions to meet the growing needs. Algal biomass is no doubt considered a promising and valuable feedstock for a ...
A review of the sustainability of algal-based biorefineries: Towards an integrated assessment framework Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen
Algal-based bioenergy products have faced multiple economic and environmental problems. To counter these problems, algal-based biorefineries have been proposed as a promising solution. Multiple environmental and economic assessments have analyzed this concept. However, a wide variation in results was reported. This study performs a review to evaluate the methodological reasons behind this variation. Based on this review, four main challenges for ...
A framework for guiding sustainability assessment and on-farm strategic decision making Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Responding to future challenges and societal needs, various actions are taken in agriculture to evolve towards more sustainable farming practices. These actions imply strategic choices and suppose adequate sustainability assessments to identify, measure, evaluate and communicate sustainable development. However, literature is scarce on the link between strategic decision making and sustainability assessment. As questions emerge on how,what ...
