“…The multi-position automatic sampling X-ray diffractometer (XRD, X'pert Powder, Panalytical, Netherlands) was used to measure the crystallinity of the uorescent paper with at a conventional wideangle 5° to 80° and a scanning speed of 12°/ min. The crystallinity indexes (CI) of bagasse CAA-FA bers were calculated using the Segal method according reference (Qin et al, 2022). The uorescence spectra were obtained using a uorescence spectrometer (Edinburgh, FLS980, UK).…”

Developing uorescent paper-based materials with recyclable, environmental friendly, excellent stable and uniform performances are still an urgent challenge at present. Herein, a simple, green, and high-e ciency method for the fabrication of high stability and recyclable cellulose-based uorescent paper from waste bagasse via Hantzsch reaction is proposed. Compared to the pristine paper, the surface modi cation showed little effect on the morphology, mechanical properties, thermal performance and appearance. Meanwhile, the good writing and printing ability of the paper still remained. The prepared paper showed excellent uorescence performance, which is very stable even treated with acidic, alkaline, and different solvents for 24 h. It can be processed into different security patterns. What's more, this strategy could be extended by using other compositions with aldehyde groups. Considering their functional and recyclable features, as well as the convenient and e cient fabrication process, our uorescent papers hold great potential to be applied in many elds such as anti-counterfeiting.

“…Meanwhile, with wasted paper and paper products constituting for over a third of landfill waste, the paper industry generates significant quantities of waste, contributing to landfill overflow [3,4]. However, recycled paper fibers offer a sustainable solution by binding the soil particles together, preventing them from being washed away by water or blown away by wind [5,6,7,8].…”

An innovative approach to storing and germinating seeds can be achieved by embedding seeds in recycled papers. This quantitative study was conducted to evaluate the viability and germination of vegetable seeds in recycled paper compared to soil. Pechay (Brassica rapa), mustard (Brassica juncea), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), and saluyot (Corchorus olitorius) were seed samples examined in both media. Daily monitoring of seedlings' height and germination count was conducted using a counting method and rulers, as well as water sprays. As a result, viability varied among seeds, with pechay (100%) and mustard (96.30%) showing higher rates in recycled paper than spinach (25.93%) and saluyot (44.44%). The viability of pechay (96.30%), mustard (96.30%), spinach (96.30%), and saluyot (70.37%) was generally higher in soil. Germination rates differed across seed types and media. Pechay and mustard grew consistently in both media, while spinach and saluyot had different growth patterns and showed slower growth. Statistical analysis using the Fisher Exact Test and T-test showed no significant difference in viability between recycled paper and soil (P = 0.214). Soil remains preferred, but recycled paper can serve as an alternative starting medium. Long-term growth assessment and matching media to more plant species are recommended to enhance germination practices and sustainable agriculture.

Point-of-care (POC) devices can provide inexpensive, practical, and expedited solutions for applications ranging from biomedicine to environmental monitoring. This work reports on the development of low-cost microfluidic substrates for POC systems suitable for analytical assays, while also satisfying the need for social and environmentally conscious practices regarding circular economy, waste reduction, and the use of local resources. Thus, an innovative greener process to extract cellulose from plants including abaca, cotton, kozo, linen, and sisal, originating from different places around the world, is developed, and then the corresponding paper substrates are obtained to serve as platforms for POC assays. Hydrophobic wax is used to delineate channels that are able to guide solutions into chambers where the colorimetric assay for total cholesterol quantification is carried out as a proof of concept. Morphological and physicochemical analyses are performed, including the evaluation of fiber diameter, shape and density, and mechanical and thermal properties, together with peel adhesion of the printed wax channels. Contact angle and capillary flow tests ascertain the suitability of the substrates for liquid assays and overall viability as low-cost, sustainable microfluidic substrates for POC applications.
