MONEY FROM TRASH. Plastic waste has become a major environmental concern in today's world. The excessive use of plastic and its improper disposal has led to the pollution of our oceans, landfills, and even our air. However, instead of viewing plastic waste as a problem, we can see it as an opportunity. With the right technology and processes, plastic waste can be transformed into high-quality secondary raw material, which can be used in various industries. This not only helps in reducing the amount of plastic waste in our environment but also creates a new source of income. By turning trash into money, we can incentivize individuals and businesses to properly manage their plastic waste. This could potentially lead to a cleaner and more sustainable future for our planet. Through the efficient processing of plastic waste, we can not only tackle the issue of pollution but also create a circular economy where waste is seen as a valuable resource. It is time for us to rethink our approach towards plastic waste and explore its potential as a secondary raw material.

In the ever-increasing landscape of industry and technology, companies worldwide face an unprecedented challenge. The relentless march of progress, epitomized by the revolution of Industry 4.0, demands adaptation for survival and competitiveness. The integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, and robotics has irrevocably altered manufacturing and supply chain operations. What was initially a quest for augmented quality and production has now become an inexorable pursuit of sustainability. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) 2030 have left no room for exemptions, making sustainability an imperative at the heart of every business strategy. The answer to this pressing challenge lies within the pages of the book, Convergence of Industry 4.0 and Supply Chain Sustainability. It serves a meticulously curated collection of research that illuminates the intricacies of implementing Industry 4.0 and the ramifications for sustainable supply chains. Our work focuses on the associated challenges and opportunities encountered by the adoption of Industry 4.0 in supply chain management (SCM).

This work presents the findings of an extensive study on the state-of-the-art regarding the problem of food waste in Belarus, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. The results show that the problem of food waste can be found at different levels in each country and that our knowledge of it is limited by the current lack of studies in the area. The problem is primarily due to food waste generated by the manufacturing sector, mostly in the form of unused or inefficiently used by-products, as well as on a share of food thrown away by households that is still suitable for human consumption. The main reduction/prevention method, applied across the countries, is food donation; the remaining methods are the same ones used for biodegradable waste in the respective countries. The findings gathered in this study show a number of potential measures/methods for sustainable food waste management, which may be considered in future works in order to reduce the amounts of food waste generated in each of the aforementioned countries.

​The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field./div Chapters "Sonocatalysis: A Potential Sustainable Pathway for the Valorization of Lignocellulosic Biomass and Derivatives", "Valorisation of Biowastes for the Production of Green Materials Using Chemical Methods" and "Green and Sustainable Separation of Natural Products from Agro-Industrial Waste: Challenges, Potentialities, and Perspectives on Emerging Approaches" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
