Life cycle assessment of bacterial cellulose and comparison to other cellulosic...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a 3D exopolysaccharide synthesized by certain acetic acid bacteria, possessing unique properties such as nanofibrillar morphology and high purity. BC has gained increasing attention for several potential market applications, including in textiles. However, along with techno-economic challenges, the industrialization of BC pulp must align with sustainable practices and minimize the en...

End-of-life management strategies of pharmaceuticals in Portuguese households

The end of life of pharmaceutical products through environmentally unsafe routes is a growing concern in our society. However, the studies reported so far, apart from being limited in number, do not reflect the current management practices for the end-of-life management of pharmaceuticals. Published work lacks an in-depth analysis in focusing on the pharmaceutical waste in households. The present work focused o...

Bacterial cellulose production: valorization of wastewater and life cycle asses...

Low-cost substrates, most from agro-industrial wastes, have increasingly been exploited as nutrient sources for the fermentation of bacterial cellulose (BC), an appealing approach from an economical and environmental point of view. However, these wastes carry a very high organic load, which, while advantageous for the fermentation, generate high organic load wastewaters as well, which require proper treatment b...
