One of my favourite publications does not even appear on my curriculum vitae because I am not sure how to classify it. It is a photograph of two of my research staff standing beside floor-to-ceiling piles of paper – all the forms that now have to be completed for a local ethics committee before you can get started on a national study. After the butter mountain and the wine lake, it is the paper avalanche.

Abstract:
Paper waste reduction efforts through digitalization. Waste is an endless problem to dealt with, through the ages, humankind necessities have escalated, and with the escalation of humankind necessities, the waste produced by humankind has also escalated. The more advanced a civilization, the more waste is produced. Paper waste is one of the wastes. Paper has becoming a basic need for human which is used as a media for communicating and exchanging information. But to produce paper, a large number of trees had to be cut down, alongside of the byproduct waste come out from producing it. Also, the harmful effect of unhappiness of the paper waste which is one of the main causes of the global warming. Therefore, an act of reducing paper waste is needed. Digitalization is one of the options to reduce paper waste. The definition of digitalization is a process to convert printed form, audio form, and video form to digital form. The purpose of digitalization is to aim for efficiency and optimization for storage purpose, security purpose.

Abstract:
Municipal wastes have become a severe problem in developed and developing countries during the last century, paper being the main constituent. Not all of the waste paper can be recycled, and therefore alternative procedures for the use of the remaining material should be pursued. The aim of the present work was the application of cellulases for waste paper treatment and the subsequent glucose production and optimization of the conditions for such treatment. Glucose thereafter can be utilized for production of ethanol or other chemicals by specific microbial cultures. The work focused in the stabilization of cellulases by cross-linking or by the addition of specific crown ether based compounds to improve glucose production. The results indicated that enzymatic treatment of waste paper is of particular interest, since it may be an alternative way to carry out municipal wastes treatment and concomitant glucose production. By the application of the proposed procedure, the total amounts of municipal wastes can be greatly reduced and production of bioethanol can be achieved.

Abstract:
Paper is one of the most common wastes produced by humans, this paper waste is often found in household activities as well as offices and schools. Processing recycling of paper can add many advantages including being able to reduce waste in the environment, save energy, reduce the impact of global warming and can also generate income. This recycled paper can also be used to make various handicraft products that can be made by people who have creative values and an artistic spirit. The works of this recycled paper can be used as home decoration knick-knacks, stationery and office equipment, You can also make unique and creative multi-purpose containers that housewives can be interested in. Apart from that, they can be used for materials for student craft assignments as well as school students. Paper waste management certainly requires more attention, this can be overcome by efforts to reduce it by converting paper waste into recycled paper which has a selling value and is useful.

Abstract:
The utilization of paper on a commercial scale is increasing day by day throughout the world that produces million of tons of paper waste yearly and burdened for landfills. The present study focuses on the exploitation of waste papers (office paper, newspaper and tissue paper) as a cheapest alternative source of energy to extract fermentable sugar by applying chemical and enzymatic pretreatments. The quantification of released sugar was analyzed by spectrophotometer and high performance liquid chromatography refractive index (HPLC-RI) detector. Cellulose (12 FPU/g) and β-glucosidase (12 FPU/g) was found to be effective for the extraction of fermentable sugar from paper waste. The contents of cellulose (C6H10O5)n, hemicellulose (C5H10O5)n and lignin (C9H10O2,C10H12O3,C11H14O4) found in office paper were 40%, 32.5%, 22.5%, in newspaper 46.5%, 30.5% 22.5%, and in tissue paper 62%, 22%, 15.5%, respectively. The percentages of sugar contents assessed in this study were 62% in tissue paper and 46.5% in newspaper and 40% in office papers. Among the three substrates, tissue paper (23.4 mg/mL) released a significant amount of glucose (C6H6O12), whereas newspaper (20.8 mg/mL) and office paper (19.6 mg/mL) released less amount of sugar. This research of acid pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis was an efficient method to improve glucose conversion from lignocellulosic waste. Furthermore, this approach can be proved the first step towards the sustainable production of bioethanol from wastepaper-extracted sugar.

Abstract:
Increasing legislative and economic pressure to find more sustainable methods of organic waste management has fuelled innovation in biological treatment technology. By-products of paper manufacturing industries provide a large source of organic waste, which is known to have a high environmental impact. This waste paper sludge has been shown to be amenable to biological treatment. Recent research has confirmed that windrow-composting and vermicomposting techniques have potential to treat these wastes and share many economic and environmental benefits. Many authors have suggested that sludge specific composting methods need to be developed and this research aims to provide fundamental data in this respect. The treatment of specific waste paper sludges was investigated through small and larges calee xperimentsw ith the aim of optimising thesep rocessesw ith minimal intervention. Identical samples of a selected waste paper sludge feedstock were used in large scale investigations into the application of each composting technique, and the performance of each process and resulting products was evaluated. Windrow composting and vermicomposting were found to stabilise and enhance waste paper sludge in very different ways, producing unique products. In terms of processing, windrow composting resulted in more rapid rates of stabilisation and although the performance of the vermicomposting process was less effective in these respects, it afforded additional benefits as a treatment of waste paper sludge. Both processes were found to stabilise and enhance waste paper sludge but the selection of one system or the other will depend largely on the objectives of the project and the criteria required of the finished product.

Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the hypothesis that a Community Technology approach can be considered appropriate for reclamation and recycling activities, and to investigate the opportunities for reclaiming and recycling domestic wastes viably at a 'community' scale. A framework is first established to define a Community Technology approach, and then used to assess the compatibility of reclamation and recycling technologies to this approach. 'Community '-scale reclamation and recycling in Britain, together with some examples from the USA, is examined and the 'state of the art' for both areas of activity described. 'Community'-scale is interpreted as relating to groups of people of less than 10,000, defined as neighbourhoods (of between 100 and 1,000 people) and communities (of 1,000 to 10,000 people). Initial analysis identified only three recycling processes with potential as 'community'-scale activities; all concerned with waste paper recycling. One of these, a neighbourhood-scale technology, was chosen for a detailed feasibility study. The process involves recycling waste paper into sheets of drawing or printing paper suitable for use as 'art' paper, in particular as speciality printing paper, or as sugar paper in schools. The feasibility study was carried out using design and evaluation methods, to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the process and to investigate what role it might play in the community, in particular in relation to promoting greater community self-reliance. The results show that this technology would not be financially or economically viable as an independent enterprise but indicated additional non-quantified social benefits and hence a possible non-economic role in the community. Some possibilities of educational and job creation roles are explored.

Abstract:
Bioethanol is likely to be a large contributor to the fuel sector of industry in the near future. Current research trends are geared towards utilizing food crops as substrate for bioethanol fermentation; however, this is the source of much controversy. Utilizing food crops for fuel purposes is anticipated to cause massive food shortages worldwide. Cellulose is the most abundant renewable resource on earth and is subject to a wide array of scientific study in order to utilize the glucose contained within it. Waste paper has a high degree of cellulose associated with it, which makes it an ideal target for cellulose biotechnology with the ultimate end goal of bioethanol production. This study focussed on producing the necessary enzymes to hydrolyse the cellulose found in waste paper and using the sugars produced to produce ethanol. The effects of various printing inks had on the production of sugars and the total envirorunental impact of the effluents produced during the production line were also examined. It was found that the fungus Trichoderma longibrachiatum DSM 769 grown in Mandel's medium with waste newspaper as the sole carbon source at 28 °C for 6 days produced extracellular cellulase enzymes with an activity of 0.203 ± 0.009 FPU.ml⁻¹, significantly higher activity as compared to other paper sources. This extracellular cellulase was used to hydrolyse waste newspaper and office paper, with office paper yielding the highest degree of sugar production with an end concentration of 5.80 ± 0.19 g/1 at 40 °C. Analysis by HPLC showed that although glucose was the major product at 4.35 ± 0.12 g/1, cellobiose was also produced in appreciable amounts (1.97 ± 0.71 g/1). The sugar solution was used as a substrate for Saccharomyces cerevisiae DSM 1333 and ethanol was produced at a level of 1.79 ± 0.26 g/1, the presence of which was confirmed by a 600 MHz NMR spectrum. It was found that cellobiose was not fermented by this strain of S. cerevisiae. Certain components of inks (the PAHs phenanthrene and naphthalene) were found to have a slight inhibitory effect (approximately 15% decrease) on the cellulase enzymes at very high concentrations (approximately 600 μg/1 in aqueous medium), while anthracene had no effect. Whole newsprint ink was shown not to sorb glucose. The environmental analysis of the effluents produced showed that in order for the effluents to be discharged into an aqueous ecosystem they would have to be diluted up to 200 times. They were also shown to have the potential to cause severe machinery damage if reused without proper treatment.

Abstract:
The aims of this thesis were to study the agronomic impact of paper sludge incorporation on agricultural soil. through investigation of crop physiological response to paper sludge incorporation, nutrient cycling, soil parameters, soil moisture retention and then attempting to combine this multidisciplinary approach to the study of paper sludge into one empirical model, or management tool. Paper sludge (from Federal Tait Paper, Inverurie) was characterised to determine its composition and variability. In particular, the concentrations of nitrogen, cellulose and calcite were found to vary greatly. Prior to large scale field scale application and biomass-N studies a preliminary germination trial and biomass-N feasibility study were undertaken. The germination trial assessed the potential for paper sludge incorporation into soil to cause germination failure, due to the production of phytotoxic compounds, (e.g. acetic acid). It concluded that there was no risk of germination failure. However, it also indicated possible crop chlorosis associated with those seedlings grown on soil with paper sludge additions, suggesting N immobilisation. A preliminary biomass-N experiment concluded that large cores were unsuitable for biomass-N determinations and concluded that small sealed flasks with a well homogenised soil and paper sludge matrix would be more suitable for biomass-N determinations. To assess the agronomic effects of paper sludge incorporation into agricultural soil, a series of field experiments were carried out. Soil samples were regularly removed to assess soil parameters (e.g. soil pH). The incorporation of high N-concentrations of paper sludge was associated with no reduction in crop growth, harvest index, grain weight or grain numbers per ear. However, grain N-concentration and straw N-concentration were significantly increased as compared to those plots receiving no paper sludge additions. The increase in grain N-concentration approached that permissible by the malting industry of Scotland. The incorporation of low N-concentration paper sludge into soil was associated with significant decreases in crop growth, harvest index, grain numbers per ear and grain and straw N-concentrations, as compared to grain from those plots receiving no paper sludge additions. The decrease in crop growth and grain and straw N-concentrations suggest that N was limiting crop growth. Supplementary inorganic-N additions reinforced this hypothesise that N was limiting, as inorganic-N additions partly negated the reduction in crop growth associated with those plots receiving low N-concentration paper sludge additions. However, significant crop growth reductions were also associated with those plots receiving lime additions ( 8 t ha-1), suggesting that over liming of the soil could also cause crop growth reductions. As the paper sludge has a calcite component it was not possible to distinguish between the influence of the paper sludge affecting soil-N cycling and soil pH alterations in reducing crop growth. Paper sludge significantly increased soil pH. The moisture release characteristics of soil on plots receiving paper sludge applications were also significantly affected so that soil in plots receiving paper sludge additions held more moisture (at particular moisture tensions) than control soils. The biomass-N / N-immobilisation study demonstrated the rapid rise in biomass-N associated with paper sludge incorporation. Significant increases in biomass-N after 3 days of incubation, were associated with the soil receiving paper sludge. The potential for paper sludge to increase soil biomass-N was clearly demonstrated. To analyse the effect of individual paper sludge components on crop growth, a core experiment investigated the relationship between total biological yield (TBY) and those properties of the paper sludge considered to affect the crop growth (i.e. N-concentration, calcite concentration and cellulose concentration) using multiple linear regression techniques. Statistical modelling of the effect paper sludge incorporation into soil had upon crop TBY, explained 74.3% of the observed variation. The NCON (N-concentration of the paper sludge) variable was the largest influencing factor in determining the TBY (r=0.803).

Abstract:

The waste fines (WF) rejected by paper mill are one of the good resources of lignocellulosic biomass to produce sugars. The potential of hydrolysis yield was around 95% (reducing sugars g/g of digestible fibers). The inhibitory effects of the substrate were studied since the enzyme demand for the hydrolysis was not economically feasible.

The major inhibitor of WF was the high portion of ash for enzymatic hydrolysis. The CaCO3 among the ash was the strongest inhibitor with three different inhibiting effects. The first inhibition was related to reduced free enzyme in bulk solution resulted by non-productive enzyme adsorption on CaCO3. The binding mechanism could be explained by the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interaction between the enzyme and CaCO3. The major mechanism of the enzyme – CaCO3 binding differ with the enzyme – lignin binding which has been reported that the hydrophobic interaction is the major mechanism for the enzyme – lignin binding. The different mechanisms are due to the hydrophobic property: CaCO3 is hydrophilic and lignin is hydrophobic. The application of a nonionic surfactant, Tween 80, could be a solution to free enzyme in bulk solution via competitive bond on CaCO3 with a higher affinity than the enzyme. A study of CaCO3 of particle size and Tween 80 adsorption on CaCO 3 provided evidence of this Tween 80 effect. The second inhibiting effect of CaCO3 was pH level shift decreasing enzyme activity by dissolved Ca2+. pH adjustment (PAD) was tested with addition of acids to make the pH optimum for enzyme activity. PAD with extra acetic acid resulted in a positive effect but sulfuric acid did not improved hydrolysis yields. The combination application of Tween 80 and PAD yielded more than two times as much sugar release compared to the non-treated waste fines with a 10 FPU enzyme dose. The final inhibitory effect of CaCO3 was dissolved Ca2+ reduced of enzyme activity. This effect was supported by the reduction of hydrolysis yield of Avicel and unbleached kraft pulp (UKP), and documentation of particle size increase due to the aggregation of enzyme in the presence of Ca2+.

Some other approaches were studied to improve the hydrolysis yield of paper mill waste fines. These included using combinations of adding nonionic surfactant, high consistency hydrolysis, buffer substitution, and deinking flotation. Each method improved the productivity or reduced the cost of production and may be combined in one process to get synergetic effects.

AMMINENI, CHANDINI MUNIRATNAM. Design of Lignin Sensor forIdentification of Paper Grades for an Automatic Waste Paper SortingSystem. (Under the direction of Dr. M. K. Ramasubramanian.)The purpose of this research has been to design a lignin sensor fornon-destructive, real-time identification of waste paper grades, toaid in automating a waste paper sorting process. The sensor iscapable of identifying about 500 papers in one second. It is based onthe principle that fluorescence light emitted from paper followingabsorption of visible light has a wavelength distribution determinedby the chemical composition of the paper. The sensor is the most critical part in waste paper sorting, whichhas hitherto not been automated due to the inability to design asensor that distinguishes paper grades. This sensor is vastlysuperior to all other sensors previously designed for this purposebecause, it does not use the conventional reflective type opticalproperties of paper, and this is the only sensor that can identifyall grades unlike the previous sensors that could identify only whiteledger papers.

Abstract:
Vermicomposting is an eco-friendly waste management strategy. Its successful performance necessitate that key functioning parameters like earthworm stocking density, nutrient enrichment be established for each target waste/waste mixture. One main target waste mixture in South Africa, and in the University of Fort Hare in particular is waste paper mixed with cow dung and rock phosphate (RP) for phosphorus (P) enrichment. This study was carried out to address the following specific objectives, to determine (i) the effect of Eisenia fetida stocking density on the bioconversion of cow dung waste paper mixtures enriched with rock phosphate, (ii) an optimum application rate of low grade South African Rock Phosphate and time required for efficient vermicomposting of cow dung-waste paper mixtures, and (iii) to determine if the phosphorus in RP is responsible for improved biodegradation during the vermicomposting of cow dung-waste paper mixtures. Results of this study revealed that bioconversion of cow dung waste paper mixtures enriched with RP was highly dependent on E. fetida stocking density and time. The stocking density of 12.5 g-worms kg-1 feedstock of the mixtures resulted in highest earthworm growth rate and humification of the waste mixture as reflected by a C: N ratio of < 12, polymerization index (PI) or humic acid/fulvic acid ratio of > 1.9, and a humification index of >13 for the cow dung waste paper mixtures. A germination test carried out also revealed that the resultant vermicompost had no inhibitory effect on the germination of tomato, carrot, and radish. Extractable P increased with stocking density up to 22.5 g-worm kg-1 feedstock, suggesting that for maximum P release from RP enriched wastes, a high stocking density should be considered. Informed by an earlier study which demonstrated that RP improved vermidegration, a follow up study was done to determine the optimum amount of rock phosphate necessary for efficient vermidegradation of cow dung waste paper mixtures while ensuring a phosphorus rich vermicompost. The results showed that addition of RP at rates ≤ 1% P as RP efficiently enhanced the bioconversion of cow dung waste paper mixtures as reflected by low C: N ratio, high polymerization index (PI), HI and HR used as maturity indicators for matured compost. Final vermicompost products obtained at minimum amounts of RP application rates resulted highly humified vermicompost with finer morphological structure, with no inhibitory effect on the germination of tomato, carrot, and radish similar to the ones obtained at higher RP rates. The findings suggest that 1%P as RP application rate is optimum for efficient vermidegradation of cow dung waste paper mixtures. Since P or Ca happen to be the most prevalent elements in most rock phosphate used for compost enrichment, a study was carried out to determine if P or Ca in RP is predominantly responsible for the improved biodegradation of cow-dung waste paper mixture observed during vermicomposting. Phosphorus sources in form of triple superphosphate (TSP), phosphoric acid (PHA) and Ca in form of calcium chloride (CaCl2) salt were compared with rock phosphate. The results from the study indicated that TSP, a water soluble P source, resulted in greater and faster degradation of the waste mixtures than RP while the Ca source had the least effect. With TSP incorporation the compost maturity C: N ratio of 12 was reached within 28 days while RP, PHA and CaCl2 needed 42, 56 and more than 56 days, respectively. The results indicated that P was largely responsible for the enhanced bioconversion of the waste mixtures. This appeared linked to the effect of P to stimulate microbial growth as reflected by higher microbial biomass carbon levels where water soluble P sources were applied. The C: N ratios of the final vermicomposts at day 56 were 10, 11.5, 13, 14, and 23 for TSP, RP,PHA, Control (No P added) and CaCl2 treatments, respectively. Although TSP gave superior superior performance, RP may still be the preferred additive in the vermicomposting of cow dung waste paper mixtures as it is cheaper and produces mature compost in a shorter period of 8 weeks. Generally, the results of this study have shown that the vemidegradation of cow dung waste paper mixtures can be optimized through adoption of an E. fetida stocking density of 12.5g- worm kg-1 and an RP incorporation rate of 1% P as RP. However, higher rates of RPincorporation may be adopted where final vermicomposts with higher P fertilizer value are desired. Phosphorus appears to be the RP constituent responsible for its ability to enhance the vermidegradation of cow dung waste paper mixtures. Future studies should explore the effectiveness of other P-bearing minerals for their effectiveness in enhancing vemidegradation.

Abstract:
Abstract Paper production is an energy intensive industry but due to the wastes of its process (black liquor, waste biomass, sludge) has the capacity to generate most of its energy internally. Central to this balance are cogeneration units that guarantee the internal production of heat and electricity. These are sized for the company’s thermal load, with excess electricity injected into the grid. The efficient use of endogenous resources is a major route for improving the energy and environmental efficiency of the plant. Some of the waste materials include biomass wastes, sludges and other industrial wastes such as plastics. The present work aims to identify the opportunity of introducing a waste biomass gasification plant and the use of the produced synthesis gas, replacing the natural gas currently used in the turbine included in the company’s cogeneration unit. In this scenario, one of the cogeneration units in its current configuration has two steam boilers (one biomass; one black liquor) and a gas turbine whose waste heat feeds a recovery boiler to produce steam. The work involved several steps: the energy balance of the unit, the characterization of biomass residues (mixing bark, pine bark, eucalyptus bark, and refuse fibers), the test experimental analysis of residual biomass gasification and the characterization of the synthesis gas produced. In the electric and thermal energy producing units, gas turbines have a working efficiency above 35% while the steam turbines is considerably lower (15%). The efficiency of the chemical recovery boiler (79.5%) is lower than that of the biomass boiler (89.5%). From the experimental analysis of biomass it was found that most of them have a carbon and hydrogen content higher than 48 % and 5 %, respectively. In terms of higher calorific value (HHV), for the biomass where it was possible to determine it, the value is between 19.3 and 23.6 MJ/kg. These properties reveal that the selected biomasses from within the company, have potential as fuels. The limitation on its use may be due to the ash content, which tends to exceed 10 %. A gasification test (90 % eucalyptus biomass and 10 % mixture biomass) was also carried out to produce syngas and further characterization. The calorific value of the gas produced was 18 MJ/kg, with an absolute density of 1.17 kg/m3. It can thus be seen that for a gas turbine with a 35.8 % efficiency with a workload of 29.9 MWe 4.6 kg/s of syngas is required.

Abstract:
El creciente aumento en la generación de residuos sólidos con lleva a efectuar estudios de diferente índole para un adecuado sistema de gestión de cada uno de ellos. Los desechos sólidos se han incrementado, y un alto porcentaje de ellos no son aprovechados, y terminan en el mejor de los casos en rellenos sanitarios. Por ello el propósito de este estudio es mostrar los resultados obtenidos, en particular el desarrollo del software WASTE-C en el Valle de Aburrá que contribuya a la planificación y gestión en general de los mismos en los diferentes municipios. El sistema para determinar la muestra y trazabilidad con código de barras contribuye a la gestión de los residuos para una efectiva disminución en la contaminación producida por este tipo de productos, porque además de su caracterización, puede mejorar el aprovechamiento de estos productos y una adecuada disposición final. La usabilidad del programa WASTE-C se evalúa con el modelo SQUARE. A través de una revisión de referencias se identifican los requisitos funcionales para posteriormente presentar un modelo de ingeniería de software a través de UML. Las características de usabilidad también se describen en el modelo de medición de la calidad del software. Se describen las evaluaciones realizadas para la aplicación del software. Se considera que este producto contribuye a la gestión de residuos sólidos al permitir el cálculo de tamaños de muestra para la caracterización en el proceso de cuarteo de residuos sólidos, brindando un insumo para la elaboración de planes de gestión de residuos sólidos en Colombia. Se identifican características que hacen usable el software, como la facilidad de uso de las funcionalidades, la sencillez de la información desplegada, el uso de íconos gráficos, apoyo alternativo para la comprensión a través de recursos como el uso de códigos de barras, entre otros.

Abstract:
The United States Army produces a significant amount of classified paper waste that is pulverized to a fine consistency unsuitable for recycling. However, cheap, high quality organic materials such as classified paper waste are useful as soil amendments. The objective of this research was to evaluate the utilization of pulverized classified paper waste as a soil amendment to improve soil health and increase establishment of desirable native grasses on degraded Army training lands. Paper was applied at rates of 9 to 72 Mg ha⁻¹ to two soil types at Fort Polk, LA: an alfisol (very fine sandy loam - Fine, smectitic, thermic Chromic Vertic Hapludalfs) and an ultisol (loamy fine sandy - Loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Arenic Paleudults). These are common soil orders found on military training lands nationwide and represent fertile (alfisol) and unfertile (ulitsol) soils. Vegetation and soils were monitored over 2 growing seasons. No increase in heavy metals were observed in soils. Extensive analysis showed very low levels of regulated contaminants in the paper, but most were below detection limits. The ultisol site showed improved soil physical and chemical properties, while desirable vegetation benefitted from nutrient immobilization at the alfisol site. Based on the results of this study, applying pulverized paper waste to soil at a rate of 35.9 Mg ha⁻¹ is recommended. Application of paper waste to soils had no adverse environmental effects, improved soil physiochemical properties, and facilitated establishment of desirable native vegetation.

Abstract:
This report explores the potential of Urban Agriculture (UA) to enhance food security, improve resource efficiency, and promote smart, resilient, and circular cities. The discussion is framed within the scope of the Horizon 2020 project ‘Sino-European Innovative Green and Smart Cities’ (SiEUGreen) which explored different pathways to turn waste into resources for growing food in cities through the combination of different technologies. These technologies were tested in five showcases: Campus Ås, in Ås, Norway; World Gardens and Brabrand Fællesgartneriet community gardens in Aarhus, Denmark; Turunçlu greenhouse in Atakya, Turkey; Sanyuan Farm, in Beijing, and Futiancangjun residential area in Changsha, China. The insights and knowledge gained with these showcases were the basis to discuss the barriers and drivers of UA in the transition to more sustainable and resilient circular cities, across five aspects (1) environmental, (2) technological, (3) economic, (4) social and cultural and (5) regulatory and institutional issues. The results suggest that city food provision and UA systems can be designed considering circular economy regenerative cycles, but it is important to promote local research that can highlight policy solutions to address context-related barriers and limitations. Among the main lessons learned across the different aspects, we highlight: - The need for more evidence-based research, clear monitoring tools and evaluation/assessment of the different UA typologies and their impact on the environment, society and economy; - The implementation of innovative technological developments that support and promote UA for reduce; reuse, recycle/recover resources require more experimentation, large-scale tests and validation both concerning their efficiency, positive environmental impacts, as well as economic viability; - The need for high investments, difficulties accessing financial support, underdeveloped business case for circular resource models, and limited recognition of the positive and indirect economic, environmental benefits of UA are among the main barriers that limit the uptake of agriculture in cities; - Despite the significant role UA can play in advancing a circular economy (e.g., by supporting sustainable local food systems, promoting community resilience and reducing waste), behaviour and cultural barriers were found to have a deep impact when fostering a closed-loop approach to UA, especially concerning overcoming prejudice against waste as a resource, - Local governance and public policy play a central role in framing and supporting UA (e.g., incentives, funding, regulatory frameworks) as a pathway that enables close loops in cities.
