A creative approach to reducing food waste by reusing industrial cake waste can result in the development of a worldwide favorite snack. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of industrial cake wastes-basic mini cake (BMC), filled mini cake (FMC), and traditional mini cake (TMC)-as sustainable alternatives to wheat flour in producing ring-shaped cookies. After initial screening, FMC was upcycled at 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, and 50% of wheat flour replacement for ring-shaped cookie processing. Only the formulations containing 10, 15, and 20% FMC waste showed good moldability and similar rheological parameters between each other ( < 0.05). After baking, the cookies made with FMC waste showed greater volume expansion ( < 0.05) compared to the standard formulation. All cookies had water activity below 0.6 and remained stable during the 150 days of storage. Furthermore, after 150 days of storage, the hardness of the standard (T1) formulation was 40.02 N, while formulations with FMC waste (10%-T2, 15%-T3, and 20%-T4) resulted in softer cookies, with hardness values of 26.9 N, 27.9 N, and 27.61 N, respectively. The ring-shaped cookies containing 15% FMC waste showed the best technological performance, considering manufacture, physicochemical, and hardness traits, with no nutritional differences compared to the control.

Article Synopsis
- - A new fluidized melting combustion (FMC) process has been developed to manage coal gasification fine slag (CGFS), demonstrating good control over temperature and pressure during pilot tests.
- - The process enables efficient processing of CGFS, transforming it into a composite fuel at high temperatures (up to 1501.1 °C), achieving significant carbon removal (93.8%) and low carbon content (0.4 wt%) in the slag.
- - Future research will aim to improve flue gas emissions management and utilize molten slag effectively, with the overall goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the coal chemical industry.

Fungi-microalgae consortium (FMC) has emerged as a promising system for advanced wastewater treatment due to its high biomass yield and environmental sustainability. This study aimed to investigate the nutrients removal, bacterial community shift, emerging contaminants elimination, and treatment mechanism of a FMC composed of Cordyceps militaris and Navicula seminulum for aquaculture pond water treatment. The fungi and microalgae were cultured and employed either alone or in combination to evaluate the treatment performance.

This study explored mercury (Hg) methylation potential in two distinct aquatic systems. Fourmile Creek (FMC) was historically polluted with Hg effluents from groundwater as it is a typical gaining stream, where organic matter and microorganisms in streambed are continuously winnowed. The H02 constructed wetland only receives atmospheric Hg and is rich in organic matter and microorganisms.

Healthcare in general and dialysis care in particular are contributing to resource consumption and, thus, have a notable environmental footprint. Dialysis is a life-saving therapy but it entails the use of a broad range of consumables generating waste, and consumption of water and energy for the dialysis process. Various stakeholders in the healthcare sector are called upon to develop and to take measures to save resources and to make healthcare and dialysis more sustainable.
