“…In the first instance, the following input data are chosen for the numerical example: there are three farmers' locations (FL); two local pickup centers (LPC); and two processing centers (PC), as also shown in Table 2. Other required data are as follows: cost of innovative food packaging materials per unit ton in INR- ; handling cost is Rs 10/-; last-mile pickup cost (per unit distance per vehicle) is Rs 20/-; carbon emissions taxation cost per unit fuel consumption per vehicle Rs 5/-; holding cost per unit ton Rs 12/-; transportation cost per distance per vehicle Rs 80/-; mileage of small-size vehicle- [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]; and the mileage of large-size vehicle- [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The availability at the farmers' locations of food grains in tons is [50,70,100], the demanded quantity- [10,25] and [10,20] at the LPCs and PCs, respectively, the storage capacity-[100,90] and [150,200] at the LPCs and PCs, respectively.…”

Sustainable Agro-Food Supply Chain in E-Commerce: Towards the Circular Economy

The continuous decline in the sustainable agro-food supply chain (AFSC) towards a Circular Economy (CE) has become a matter of great concern for the key stakeholders, including government organizations, businesses, end-users, and farmers. In line with this, the main purpose of this study is to develop a sustainable food Supply Chain Network (SCN). The SCN enables the collection of agro-food grains from different farmers’ locations and delivers the same to food processing units. To design an efficient and effective sustainable pickup and delivery network, a Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) mathematical model is formulated. The proposed model achieves the sustainability goal by minimizing the collection costs. The developed MINLP model is solved by using an exact optimization approach in LINGO 18 software. Further, to test the efficacy of the developed model, various computational experiments are performed, varying from small to large size data. The results of these experiments reflect that our model can support businesses in designing an efficient and effective sustainable pickup and delivery network. Lastly, it has been shown that innovative packaging materials can help to minimize the wastage of food.

“…Hemicellulose is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose [134]. It is in fact a heterogeneous family of more or less branched macromolecules constituted of glycosidic monomers, mainly pentoses such as D-xylose and L-arabinose, with some Dhexoses such as glucose, galactose, mannose, rhamnose and glucuronic and galacturonic acids [2].…”

Wood-Sourced Polymers as Support for Catalysis by Group 10 Transition Metals

Despite providing interesting solutions to reduce the number of synthetic steps, to decrease energy consumption or to generate less waste, therefore contributing to a more sustainable way of producing important chemicals, the expansion of the use of homogeneous catalysis in industrial processes is hampered by several drawbacks. One of the most important is the difficulty to recycle the noble metals generating potential high costs and pollution of the synthesized products by metal traces detrimental to their applications. Supporting the metals on abundant and cheap biosourced polymers has recently appeared as an almost ideal solution: They are much easier to recover from the reaction medium and usually maintain high catalytic activity. The present bibliographical review focuses on the development of catalysts based on group 10 transition metals (nickel, palladium, platinum) supported on biopolymers obtained from wood, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and their derivatives. The applications of these catalysts in organic synthesis or depollution are also addressed in this review with examples of C-C couplings, oxidation, or hydrogenation reactions.

“…Recently, effort has made a streak for green technologies where the sustainable economy brings innovation and novel paradigms by reducing petroleum-based materials consumption and their alternative with recyclable and circular products [ 1 ]. Among all-natural materials, cellulose is one of the most abundant biodegradable biomasses on the earth, which is a polysaccharide composed of a linear chain of β-1, 4 linked d-glucose unit.…”

The sharp increase in the use of cellulose seems to be in increasing demand in wood; much more research related to sustainable or alternative materials is necessary as a lot of the arable land and natural resources use is unsustainable. In accordance, attention has focused on bacterial cellulose as a new functional material. It possesses a three-dimensional, gelatinous structure consisting of cellulose with mechanical and thermal properties. Moreover, while a plant-originated cellulose is composed of cellulose, hemi-cellulose, and lignin, bacterial cellulose attributable to the composition of a pure cellulose nanofiber mesh spun is not necessary in the elimination of other components. Moreover, due to its hydrophilic nature caused by binding water, consequently being a hydrogel as well as biocompatibility, it has only not only used in medical fields including artificial skin, cartilage, vessel, and wound dressing, but also in delivery; some products have even been commercialized. In addition, it is widely used in various technologies including food, paper, textile, electronic and electrical applications, and is being considered as a highly versatile green material with tremendous potential. However, many efforts have been conducted for the evolution of novel and sophisticated materials with environmental affinity, which accompany the empowerment and enhancement of specific properties. In this review article, we summarized only industry and research status regarding BC and contemplated its potential in the use of BC.
