Increasingly, WEEE is seen as a source of secondary resources that can be exploited in order to contribute to the circular economy (Cucchiella et al. 2015; Parajuly & Wenzel, 2017). To date, several studies have focused on the recovery of the different fractions (plastic, glass, metals, etc.) of these types of waste. The metal fraction attracts par...

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as “urban mines” due to the various recoverable minerals they contain. However, current WEEE classification methods are mostly limited to their physical characteristics, focusing on collection, transport, and treatment purposes rather than on valorization. In the present study, our aim is...

The review discusses the advancements in vermifiltration research over the last decade, focusing on pollution removal mechanisms, system performance, the fate of filter components, and by-products. Vermifiltration has demonstrated remarkable capabilities, particularly in treating highly contaminated wastewater with Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) leve...

Open-defecation (OD) is one of the most widespread sanitation practices in low-income countries. This practice often causes diarrheal diseases and 760,000 deaths per year. To eradicate OD, several approaches have been developed, including Community-Led-Total Sanitation (CLTS) which is a participatory and community approach. The specificity of CLTS...

The value chain (VC) system is a key way to address important sanitation technological and institutional gaps in production and service delivery and could constitute a natural platform for development actions and also serve as a market systems approach to improve access to safely-managed sanitation. It has been suggested that sanitation could boost...
