TL;DR: In this article, the authors present feasibility and constraints of applying industrial symbiosis in recovering waste from food processing, focusing on recycling (excluding energy recovery) of the solid and liquid waste from the food processing industry.

TL;DR: To appraise the environmental benefits related to reuse of goods, a methodology adopting life cycle assessment (LCA) has been developed, identifying reference products within product category subject to reuse, and collecting reliable inventory data as a basis for calculating environmental impact through LCA.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study in which synthetic ingredients are replaced by others derived from natural compounds, following green chemistry principles, is presented, where a C16-18 triglycerides mixture (INCI name "palmitic/stearic triglycerides" derived from olive oil industry by-products is used both as single ingredient (Innovation I) and as part of a pre-formulated one (innovation II), replacing the starting formulation (Benchmark) caprylic/capric triglyceride.

TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment of a bioplastic based diaper was performed to evaluate the environmental benefits gained through eco-innovation, while identifying further areas of improvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review is driven by six fundamental and specific research questions (RQs), and performed based on two main tasks: (i) selection of literature studies, and (ii) critical analysis of the selected studies in line with the RQs.
