“…Several biomaterials have been successfully tested in different electronic devices, both as passive and active components, as described in a number of comprehensive reviews. − Regarding substrates for OSCs, there are reports demonstrating the use of various biomaterials such as paper, − poly(vinyl alcohol), cellophane, and keratin . To date, the best-performing solar cell was fabricated on a substrate of pretreated cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) with embedded silver nanowires (Ag-NWs).…”

Organic electronics, in particular organic photovoltaics, have gained widespread attention due to their unique properties such as lightness, flexibility, and low cost. Thanks to some recent breakthroughs in organic solar cells (OSCs) that exhibit power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) approaching 20%, this technology is slowly making its way into the market as a complementary solution to conventional photovoltaic devices. OSCs are well suited for high-end smart applications, ranging from building integration and Internet of Things to consumer electronics. However, up to now, little attention has been devoted to the environmental impact and sustainability of components and processes. It is thus necessary to develop a new generation of eco-designed devices without losing the level of performance. In this work, we report the fabrication of efficient and stable solution-processed OSCs built on a free-standing sodium alginate (SA) substrate. SA is a natural biodegradable polymer derived from brown algae. It is low-cost, nontoxic, abundant, water-processable, and easy to manipulate for the realization of homogeneous and transparent foils. SA-based OSCs exhibit PCEs from 1.8 to 7.2% and can be disassembled through a safe and sustainable biocatalyzed process, allowing selective and almost entire recovery of precious metals, such as Au and Ag, as well as the separation of all of the main components. This allows us to minimize the production of e-waste, in accordance with the requirements of sustainability and the circular economy.

“…These copolymers have a strong intramolecular push-pull action due to the presence of alternate electron-deficient moieties (acceptors) and electron-rich moieties (donors). [8][9][10] Donor-Acceptor (D-A) polymers are well-known for their small bandgap, broad light absorption, and high charge carrier mobility. D-A conjugated copolymers are fascinating materials for high-performance optoelectronic devices such as organic photovoltaic solar cells (OPVs) and thin film transistors (TFTs) because of their unique optoelectronic properties brought about by the intramolecular push-pull action.…”

“…The use of sustainable materials originated from renewable resources is important for tires (Bridgestone Annual Report 2020, 2020). The renewable materials (i.e., polymers) possess the identical properties as that of typical non-renewable polymers (Huang et al, 2021).…”

For tire manufacturers and related businesses to comply with the resource recovery laws and regulatory frameworks, the opportunity lies in shifting to Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) which integrates both forward and reverse supply chains. In this research, a new mathematical model is proposed to configure and optimize a tire CLSC network. The optimal quantities for the flows of products, and number and locations of open facilities of the network are calculated by solving the model. The extension of a multi-objective model is done by considering four new objective functions about suppliers. Then, a novel decision-making method based on Spherical fuzzy logicisdeveloped for theweightsofsuppliers. Finally,themodelissolvedbytheaugmented ε-constraint method. The application of the model is illustrated focusing on the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario, Canada. The results show that the weights of the returned products are the critical parameters for the compliance of government regulation. Besides, considering multiple objectives for supplier selection in the tire CLSC network design andoptimizationmay have effect on both the selected suppliers and the allocated orders.
