Biodegradable polymer synthesis from renewable sources
(2021)In this study, pectin was extracted from fruit peels and used it for the synthesis of plant-based polymer. Pectin was extracted from fruit peels with acid boiling and washing with ethanol. The extracted pectin was used to ... -
Compost heat recovery system : pilot-scale study for greenhouse use
(2020)The purpose of this project was to build and test a pilot-scale system capable of recovering the heat from compost to be used for greenhouse ambient conditioning. The system was based on Jean Pain’s method and it was carried ... -
Disintegration testing of packaging material under simulated composting conditions in laboratory scale : an experiment following standard SFS-EN 14806
(2021)Plastic pollution has been recognized as an environmental issue for decades, and one of the sources of that pollution is packaging. In 2015, packaging accounted for 60% of the plastic waste in the EU. Therefore, it is ... -
Dry toilets in urban crises scenarios
(2021)An increasingly urbanizing planet that struggles with a shifting climate has called for new technologies and methods for transportation, power production, housing etc. Aging and overtaxed sanitation infrastructures are ... -
Evaluation of composting process according to standard procedure of SFS-EN ISO 20200:2015 and SFS-EN ISO 20200:2023 : compost validity and analysis of odour and visual appearance
(2024)This thesis investigates the disintegration of nonwoven textile materials in a compost environment, focusing on the efficacy and suitability of the SFS-EN ISO 20200:2015 standard for conducting such tests. The study follows ... -
