Engaging consumers in reusable packaging systems: An exploration of factors influencing the adoptionMiao, X. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)Reusable packaging systems (RPSs) show promise in replacing single-use packages by extending the packaging lifetime and significantly reducing waste. Yet, knowledge about consumer behaviour in the adoption of RPSs is scarce. We present in-depth insights into how consumers perceive RPSs as a new shopping pattern for fast-moving consumer goods ...conference paper 2023

Wu, Y. (author), Paul, C.E. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)This review article critically compares two widely used types of catalysis, chemo- and biocatalysis, and provides insights on their greenness according to specified parameters. A comparative analysis of the environmental impact of chemo- and biocatalytic oxyfunctionalisation reactions based on published experimental data reveals that both...journal article 2023

Kumar Ashish, Prabin (author), Sreeram, Anand (author), Xu, Xiong (author), Chandrasekar, Pavan (author), Jagadeesh, A. (author), Adwani, Dheeraj (author), Kumar Padhan, Rabindra (author)The widespread production and consumption of plastics is a pressing global issue that requires multifaceted approaches and solutions. In terms of recycling, one of the ways to repurpose waste plastics in the construction industry would be to utilize them for asphalt pavement-related applications. Although this approach can potentially provide...review 2023
