Abstract:
Il seguente elaborato mira ad analizzare criticamente le concause dell’attuale crisi ecologica, ponendo al centro dell’attenzione la questione dei rifiuti. Il primo capitolo sarà incentrato sulla contestualizzazione del dibattito ambientale all'interno della cornice della modernità e, più nello specifico, all'interno della retorica sviluppista. Particolare attenzione verrà data alla decostruzione dello sviluppo e di tutte quelle formae mentis a esso legate. Il secondo capitolo si focalizzerà invece sulla questione dei rifiuti.

Abstract:
Today’s fast pace, consumption-driven economy, and convenience of a throw-away society have led to alarming environmental issues. Large amounts of the generated garbage are going to landfills causing water pollution, increased greenhouse gas emissions and health issues while only small percentages of the garbage materials are successfully recovered and reused. To oppose this development a constantly growing consumer movement named “Zero Waste” has taken on a mindful minimalistic anti-consumerism lifestyle, to reduce their negative impact, preserve the environment and create a change in society

Abstract:
The present Work Project addressed the managerial challenge of developing a performance measurement tool capable of taking the Non-Profit Organization (NPO) Zero Desperdício to the next level. The choice of the Balanced Scorecard (BCSD) – due to its comprehensive simplicity and efficacy – revealed to be fit for the challenge by allowing to identify relevant gaps in the organization’s performance but also in the registration data processes themselves. Thus, this measurement tool demonstrated to be widely useful in an organization since it was possible to develop productive recommendations both

Abstract:
Waste generation has become one of the most severe environmental problems of the century. Vast majority of waste produced worldwide ends up in landfills, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution and health problems. A growing number of consumers is joining the Zero Waste lifestyle and minimizing their consumption levels to reduce waste and plastic pollution. This thesis therefore aims to study the online community of Zero Wasters, understanding their behaviors and motivations, as well as challenges and advantages experienced by this consumer segment.

Abstract:
In today’s world, finding sustainable ways to obtain energy has become a critical issue in energy generation. As a result, research efforts in the sustainable energy have consistently focused on the generation of energy from environmentally friendly sources and reducing the use of raw and toxic materials. This thesis takes into account two very important premises: clean energy harvesting and zero e-waste. The idea behind this device is based on the mechano-responsive charge-transfer mechanism and energy-transfer process in π-conjugated polymer at the PPy/cellulose composite - electrode interfa

Abstract:
Nowadays, it is imperative that modern society finds sustainable ways to harvest energy. This means society is forced to look to new ways to generate and store energy, while reducing, simultaneously, the stress on raw materials demand and the amount of waste generated. Our research tackles these two points by making close to zero e-waste clean energy harvesting devices. The core idea behind it is based on the mechano-responsive charge-transfer mechanism and energy-transfer process in π-conjugated polymer at the organic-metal interface layer.

Plastic is the most produced material on the planet and plastic packaging represent about half of the plastic waste in the world. Because most of it does not biodegrade or decompose, problems arise when it finishes in the environment. Research has shown that many environmental problems, including the waste and plastic issue, are connected to human behavior, which could be adjusted to reduce the impact on the environment.

Abstract:
Sustainability is increasingly discussed in a business world that is now also focused on the social and environmental well-being, beyond merely seeking profits. Notwithstanding, the global ecosystem is based on a linear throughput flow of materials, leading to an increase in waste, generating social, environmental, and economic problems. Although the restaurant business has a big contribution to degradation of the environment and social issues, it can also be an important voice in raising consciousness about sustainability and a powerful motivator to the adoption of sustainable practices.
