Societal Impact of Recycling Waste into Composite Materials

Elsevier,

Societal Impacts, Volume 4, December 2024, 100082

This study explores the social impact of recycling human hair, waste face masks, and RMG waste into composite fields, which will help to reduce environmental pollution and global warming, achieve sustainability, develop a circular economy, and deter climate change. In contrast to societal impacts, the scalability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term durability of composites will not be an issue since the cost of waste is tiny, composite's strengths are higher than some natural fiber-reinforced composites, and those wastes can also be used to fabricate hybrid composites as cheap constituents.

Intersections of Climate Change with Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health: An Overview and Evidence Map

Elsevier,

Advances in Nutrition, Volume 15, September 2024

The article systematically reviews research linking climate change to food systems, nutrition, and health (FSNH) from 2018-2023. It identifies key research gaps and presents an Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) to visualize the current landscape. Most studies focus on climate impacts on crop and livestock production, while fewer address nutrition-related health and postharvest processes. Addressing these gap is critical for developing effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies that promote both human and planetary health.
