“…133,134 An attributional LCA approach was considered since averaged data were used in all analysis scenarios. 135 Regarding the conventional and non-conventional techniques outlined above, it is interesting to know which are the most environmentally friendly. Therefore, this study aims to consider the different extraction sequences of phenolic compounds considering the LCA methodology from an environmental perspective.…”

Agri-food Waste Valorisation

The agri-food industry creates a vast amount of waste each year. This is not just a problem for waste management, in terms of finding space to store waste and preventing escape of harmful waste into the environment; it also represents a loss of resources: the chemicals and energy which have gone into the production of this waste. If current waste streams can be converted into useful resources this will have multiple benefits by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill or similar, reducing the need for other feedstocks and removing the pressure from feedstocks that could be used as food. Research into the different types of waste produced by the agri-food industry and approaches to converting them into useful chemicals or chemical feedstocks has advanced rapidly over the last few years. Covering the latest developments in the valorisation of food and agricultural waste, such as valorisation of citrus peel and industrial wastes, this book is a great resource for researchers interested in waste management, sustainability and the circular economy.

“…However, climate change is not the only salient threat and recent global sustainability risk assessments have argued that severe consequences could result from a combination of environmental degradation and its associated social schisms (World Economic Forum, 2021). Social sustainability represents a major contributing factor to the triple bottom line framework for sustainable development (Elkington, 1994) (Figure 1) and remains a key pillar in this respect (Purvis et al, 2019;Bastante-Ceca et al, 2020). Moreover, several of the UNWTO's (2005) 12 goals for sustainable tourism combine environmental, economic and social dimensions, with visitor fulfilment, cultural richness, community well-being, employment quality and social equity as key social sustainability challenges and impacts (UNWTO, 2005).…”

A Measurement Framework for Socially Sustainable Tourist Behaviour

This conceptual research article considers the concept of socially sustainable tourist behaviour. It explains the critical role of this behaviour in two parts (themes and behaviours), highlighting the lack of adequate research to date on this concept and the role of the social dimensions in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The dimensions from previous works (academic and non-academic) attempting to articulate sustainable tourist behaviour from a social perspective are summarised and classified. A measurement framework of 19 dimensions of socially sustainable tourist behaviour is proposed. It is argued that the extant literature fails to comprehensively conceptualise and measure socially sustainable tourist behaviour, and that a new framework with an associated measurement scale is needed.

“…The transition to a sustainable society means the way out of the global ecological crisis [3,4]. However, the sustainable society is currently not a real way of functioning, not an existing economic-social system, not a well-structured system of existing technologies and methods, but unfortunately only a slogan.…”
