Modern world is exposed to various environmental concerns which are closely related to human health condition. Since the automatization, world became vulnerable to the noise and the waste amounts generated. World Health Organization report states, due to noise, Western Europe each year loses approximately 1 million of healthy life years. However, noise is not the only concern. Tyres, since they were banned from the landfills, became enormous problem in a modern society. Approximately 2.6 million tonnes of tyres are generated each year in Europe, out of which 320 000 tonnes of Recycled Tyre Textile Fibre (RTTF) waste. Practically, rubber granules and metals extracted from tyre can be reused, however reusing RTTF is a challenge. The main focus is on the possibility of reuse of RTTF in buildings for acoustical comfort improvement. The determination of sound absorption is implemented by experimental research, based on ISO 10534 standard, involving five types of sound absorbing materials. It was concluded that RTTF has a great potential in use for sound absorption structures and can be an alternative substitute to non-renewable and non-recyclable materials.

“…The majority of wastes are discarded into landfill or incinerated, leading to negative impacts on the environment by contaminating ground water and generating greenhouse gases during decomposition [61]. Several attempts have been made to re-utilize wastepaper and cardboard, such as recycling of cellulose into antimicrobial packaging [59], producing biochar and bio-oil through pyrolysis [62] and obtaining cellulose nanocrystals [63].…”

The amount of biomass wastes is rapidly increasing, which leads to numerous disposal problems and governance issues. Thus, the recycling and reuse of biomass wastes into value-added applications have attracted more and more attention. This paper reviews the research on biomass waste utilization and biomass wastes derived functional materials in last five years. The recent research interests mainly focus on the following three aspects: (1) extraction of natural polymers from biomass wastes, (2) reuse of biomass wastes, and (3) preparation of carbon-based materials as novel adsorbents, catalyst carriers, electrode materials, and functional composites. Various biomass wastes have been collected from agricultural and forestry wastes, animal wastes, industrial wastes and municipal solid wastes as raw materials with low cost; however, future studies are required to evaluate the quality and safety of biomass wastes derived products and develop highly feasible and cost-effective methods for the conversion of biomass wastes to enable the industrial scale production.

“…In order to achieve the most conceivable thermal insulation resistance, new insulation materials and solutions with low thermal conductivity values have been developed but they can harm the environment and relatively expensive [3]. However, old traditional materials (such as coral stones, masonry, and more) have significant low thermal conductivity values that can be developed to achieve the desired thermal insulation values without harming the environment and they are available in reasonable quantities.…”

Vernacular building techniques and materials have been abandoned worldwide and particularly in the hot humid region. These techniques and materials stand for a long time and proved its efficiency in dealing with the climate. Al-Bald district in Jeddah City in Saudi Arabia is no exception. Al-Mangabi (coral stone) stone is dominated by traditional materials that have been used to construct the vernacular Jeddah's buildings, which are still standing in Historic Jeddah as great evidence of the efficiency of this material. Al-Mangabi stone is available all over the city of Jeddah usually it brought form the sea reefs directly with some traditional drought techniques. Using building materials with high thermal mass in a hot arid climate can save too much energy in cooling down the buildings. This paper analyzes the characteristics of Al-Mangabi stone as a construction and high thermal mass material. This is achieved through reviewing the history of using this material in Jeddah and comparing Al-Mangabi stone with the commonly available building materials used in buildings in Jeddah. Physical and numerical experiments are conducted in order to quantify the thermal effectiveness of Al-Mangabi stone. Results revealed the high thermal efficiency of Al-Mangabi stone is very close to a cavity wall with insulation and hence it can promote its role to be a very efficient building materials for external walls while it could be used as a cladding material to provide aesthetic features with insulation function in Jeddah's market.
