Olive residues as pesticides
During the production of olive oils a huge amount of peels, stones and other solid components arises. After appropriate treatment these residues seem to be suitable for inhibiting dangerous moulds. While searching for new recycling ways the undesirable bio waste scientists of the University of Bonn discovered the mould inhibiting potential of the olive residues and could prove it in the lab...

Southampton study investigates energy `footprint` of waste management and recycling
Researchers at the University of Southampton are to carry out an 18-month study of energy use and production in current waste management and recycling practices. The research will be based on a case study of the city of Southampton, part of the internationally famous Project Integra, which is recognised as a leader in promoting best practice in waste management in the UK. The results will give an... View More (2002-10-03)
Systems properties of insulin signaling revealed
A team of Swedish researchers has characterized novel systems properties of insulin signaling in human fat cells. Their mathematical modeling, described in an article published June 20th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, provides further insight into energy level maintenance (via the hormone insulin) within our bodies.

Research for sustainable production - the pulp and paper industry
The pulp and paper industry is a key element of the European paper and forestry sector, which generates an annual turnover in excess of Euro 400 billion, providing direct employment for over 260 000 people and indirect employment for around four million. This sector is also the second largest user of fresh water in Europe, which remains a major environmental concern. However, as Philippe Busquin... View More (2001-06-28)
