Waste-to-energy technologies: sustainable solutions

|

Decades of linear consumption habituate consumerism, valuing raw material products, causing waste in landfills and oceans (Anghel & Hristea, 2018). Unfortunately, in this prevailing fashion of overconsumption, the emphasis is on a push for purchasing products, often disregarding their long-term sustainability. Consequently, the discarded waste ends up polluting our precious land and marine ecosystems, posing

Simple and effective solar-powered desalination guarantees a thrivable future

Simple And Effective Solar-Powered Desalination

|

All forms of life require water, and simple and effective solar-powered desalination is the key. Water covers approximately 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, yet the accessible traditional freshwater resources, including lakes, ponds, and creeks account for less than 0.3% of the total (Li et al., 2021). Projections suggest the global population will reach

microbiological safety and water security are interrelated intricately.

Microbiological Safety And Water Security

|

Microbiological safety is incredibly important to ensure that diseases and harmful organisms are contained in a secure way. Basically, water is a chemical substance made up of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms, existing in solid (ice), liquid (water) and gas (water vapour) forms. However, biologically, it is one of the most important constituents of living
