Sustainable Biodegradable and Bio-based Materials
The quest for sustainable biodegradable and bio-based materials is ever increasing due to their versatile properties and also their ability to serve as potential alternatives to their synthetic counterparts. The major types of bio-based materials of commercial importance can be derived majorly from plant, animal, and microbial sources through physical, chemical, or biological extraction methods. Despite their potential applications, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, these bio-based polymers still face hurdles in competing with conventional plastics. The major factors contributing to this involve the production and extraction cost. In recent years, the integration of waste valorization with biopolymer production and the development of eco-friendly green extraction protocols with minimum usage of chemicals were visualized as efficient strategies for the sustainable production of biopolymers. This study summarizes the important biodegradable and bio-based materials of commercial importance along with their production methods and application in diverse sectors. 2023 selection and editorial matter, Ajay, Parveen, Sharif Ahmad, Jyotsna Sharma, Victor Gambhir.

Biodegradation; Bioremediation; Design of experiment; Enterobacter; Reactive blue 222; Statistical modeling
Reactive Blue 222 (RB222) is widely used in textile industries and hence a common recalcitrant pollutant in the industrial effluent. Bioremediation of this dye is of significance as its one of the complex dyes with high molecular weight. In the present study, we isolated a novel bacterial strain Enterobacter CU2004 from the industrial waste and characterize using16S rRNA gene sequencing. Its potential to dye degradation was evaluated in a simple minimal salt media with the parameters namely dye concentration (1001000 ppm), pH (49), temperature (1555C), Carbon source (Lactose, Sucrose, Glucose, Starch, and Fructose), and Nitrogen source (Casein, Yeast extract, Peptone, Tryptone, Ammonium sulphate, and Urea) in a 24 h culture. Finally, data obtained were extended to design of experiment based optimization for the degradation efficacy of Enterobacter CU2004 and to validated design space was established. The novelty is in optimizing the design space parameters for highest percentage of degradation ?90% by the bacterial isolate Enterobacter CU2004 were finalized as 3037C temperature, 133249 ppm dye concentration, Lactose as Carbon source, Yeast extract as Nitrogen source, and the pH as 8. Microbial dye degradation was confirmed by FTIR, HPLC and GCMS studies. Further studies revealed the dye intermediates and the potential of Enterobacter CU2004 toward the degradation of complex, high molecular weight industrial dye RB222. 2024 Vasantha Veerappa Lakshmaiah, et al.

Sustainable carbonaceous nanomaterial supported palladium as an efficient ligand-free heterogeneouscatalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
A novel ligand-free heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via pyrolysis of Samanea saman pods to produce carbon nanospheres (SS-CNSs), which served as a carbon support for immobilizing palladium nanoparticles through an in situ reduction technique (Pd/SS-CNS). The SS-CNSs effectively integrated 3% of Pd on their surfaces with no additional activation procedures needed. The nanomaterials obtained underwent thorough characterization employing various techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, ICP-AES, and BET. Subsequently, the efficiency of this Pd/SS-CNS catalyst was assessed for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives via Suzuki coupling, wherein different boronic acids were coupled with various aryl halides using an environmentally benign solvent mixture of EtOH/H2O and employing only 0.1 mol% of Pd/SS-CNS. The catalytic system was conveniently recovered through centrifugation and demonstrated reusability without any noticeable decline in catalytic activity. This approach offers economic viability, ecological compatibility, scalability, and has the potential to serve as an alternative to homogeneous catalysis. 2024 RSC.

cloud computing; cloud infrastructure; data centre sustainability; environmental impact; Green network function visualisation (NFV); virtualisation technologies
Modern information technology has made cloud computing a cornerstone by providing scalable and flexible services to fulfill the ever-increasing demands of businesses and individuals. However, since data centres use enormous quantities of energy and contribute to rising carbon emissions, the exponential rise of cloud infrastructure has caused serious environmental concerns. This research addresses the environmental issues that traditional cloud computing poses and presents a way forward by incorporating Green Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). A paradigm change towards sustainable alternatives is required due to the traditional cloud data centres increasing energy consumption and carbon impact. The suggested Green NFV strategy utilises the virtualisation technologies to optimise and combine network services, which lowers energy consumption and improves resource efficiency. The goal of this research is to reduce the environmental impact of data centres and increase the ecological sustainability of cloud services by incorporating NFV principles into cloud computing in a seamless manner. This work investigates the effectiveness of Green NFV in reducing the environmental impact of cloud computing through an in-depth analysis and empirical analysis. It assesses the energy efficiency benefits of NFV adoption, taking into account operational sustainability overall, server consolidation, and dynamic resource allocation. The results highlight that Green NFV can help with the environmental issues regarding cloud computing and provide a viable route forward for a more ecologically conscious and sustainable future for digital infrastructure. This research offers significant aspects to experts, policymakers, and industry practitioners who are looking for practical methods to balance the need for environmental sustainability with the rapid expansion of cloud computing. 2024, Scibulcom Ltd..

Sustainable Consumption Practices of Rural India
Pro-environmental Behavior; Satisfaction with Life; Spirituality; Sustainable Attitude; Work-life Balance
It is said that real India lives in rural areas. Sustainability can be found very easily in traditions, practices, culture, ethics, sense of belongingness, camaraderie, mindful living of the villages, and small towns of India. They may lack the modern way of living and infrastructure, but their way of existence is such that they contribute toward making sustainable communities. This is specifically reflected in their behavior of consumption; obviously it is also related to their income but consumption in rural areas of India is way lower than those of urban areas, even if that is to be compared by keeping population size as the same. This chapter presents an informative analysis for the reasons and methods which rural population of India practices that results in sustainability. There are practices which are found wide and large such as sharing, self-sustenance because of farming, recycling, less influence of media, simpler living, work-life balance, valuing natural resources, inherent practices of protecting the environment, and pro-community sentimentalities that lead to sustainability. Attitude toward consumption is guided by the so-called spiritual way of living and having satisfaction with life. Happiness does not necessarily come by acquiring tangible resources but by having meaningful relationship, acquiring wisdom, and following indigenous way of living and transferring it to the next generation. This chapter presents a short report by having a take on economic indicators and traditional and cultural practices of rural India and hence present an explanation for how and why sustainable consumption practices are prevalent in such places.

Sustainable Development- Adopting a Balanced Approach between Development and Development Induced Changes
The emergence of globalization has raised serious concerns and promoted ever increasing dichotomy between development and climate change issues that are borne out of such trade development plans and strategies. The sustainable development goals embark on 17 broad categories that calls upon the nations to achieve them by 2030. In order to achieve these goals the need of the hour is to make a paradigm shift from traditional trade agreements and policies to such agreements that aim to prioritize the attainment of these goals. There has to be uniform environment laws to promote intergeneration and intra-generational equity among the nations and leaving no lacuna for geographical disparity. The Artificial Intelligence can play a pivotal role in achieving sustainability by cross fertilization of technology and sustainable development leading to smart states, effective utilization of resources, green investment policies, use of eff icacious renewable energy resources, analyzing agricultural needs and prior analyses of prospective disasters.

Sustainable environment protection and waste management in higher education institutions: A case study
Higher educational institutions; Social responsibility; Student volunteers; Sustainable environment protection; Waste management
Sustainable environment protection and waste management are global concerns that major cities are grappling with, and it is the most important environmental factor that higher educational institutions in India are considering right now. "Parivarthana, "-the recycling unit of the Centre for Social Action at Christ University, Bengaluru, is evolved as a paradigm for all higher education institutions in terms of long-term environmental protection through waste management and the efforts of student volunteers. The student volunteers have been successful in sensitizing all members of the University to the importance of environmental conservation, and there is rising evidence of accountability among all members regarding waste management. The basic sense of social responsibility of student volunteers toward environmental sustainability is the primary focus of this chapter. Student volunteers who have a higher sense of social responsibility have a better attitude toward their studies, which leads to higher academic accomplishment and a desire to take action to address environmental challenges. Their environmental awareness, climate change, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efficient use of natural resources, waste management, and sustainable consumerism have served as an example for students of other higher educational institutions. A qualitative method with a case study approach was applied for this research with In-depth interviews with all stakeholders of the unit. The objectives include the participants' understanding of the prevailing process of waste management in the unit, the relation between waste management and Climate change, and the role of the student volunteers and other stakeholders of the Higher Educational Institutions in bringing a model to Sustainable Development and Global Climate Change. 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Sustainable human resource management and job satisfactionUnlocking the power of organizational identification: A cross-cultural perspective from 54 countries
individualismcollectivism; job satisfaction; organizational identification; sustainable HRM practices
Sustainable human resource management is gaining importance in organizations due to its role in developing a sustainable work environment and well-being. This paper discusses the relationship between employee perceptions of sustainable human resource management and job satisfaction in 54 countries. We propose that sustainable HRM is positively associated with job satisfaction but that this relationship is moderated by employees' identification with the organization and country-level individualismcollectivism. Thus, we suggest national culture functions as a second-level moderator of the relationship of sustainable HRM with organizational identification on job satisfaction. Findings from the multi-level analyses using data from 14,502 employees nested within 54 countries provided support for our hypotheses, namely that employee perceptions of sustainable HRM were positively associated with job satisfaction and that this relationship was more pronounced for employees with lower levels compared to higher levels of organizational identification in individualistic rather than collectivistic countries. These findings bear important implications for both theory and practice. 2024 ERP Environment and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Sustainable intensification of water guzzling crops: Identifying suitable cropping districts of India
Diversification; Groundwater development; Relative spread index; Relative yield index; Sustainability
With food sufficiency being achieved, emphasis of policy makers is now on to sustainable intensification in line with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Widening discrepancy between the water-resource supply and demand necessitates relook into the cropping pattern of the country.Based on district-level secondary data of area, productivity and level of groundwater extraction, this study aims to identify critical and potential area for cultivation of three major water-intensive crops, i.e.rice, wheat and sugarcane.Study found that 1.93 million ha of area under rice, mainly in north-western and western India, need a gradual shift.Nearly 43% of the rice cultivated area in eastern and north-eastern states of West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Assam has potential for further intensification of rice cultivation.In case of wheat, around 0.65 million ha of area, mostly in Rajasthan, is critical in terms of sustainability.Livestock is an integral part of agriculture in this region and hence diversification of wheat would require mixed strategy of shifting to alternative dual-purpose crops and wheat cultivation with water conservation technologies.Study ftirther found that around 13543 ha of sugarcane in mainly in western Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is deterring the groundwater resources.Recommendations emanating from the study include differentiates agricultural price policy, payment for ecosystem services and greater focus on productivity enhancement in eastern India. 2021 Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

Sustainable luxury tourism: Promises and perils
Assam tourism; Kaziranga National Park; Luxury tourism; Sustainable luxury tourism; Systematic literature review; Tourist review
Recent decades have witnessed a rising concern regarding the prosperity of the environment and utilisation of resources. A sustainable approach is being promoted in all sectors. In the field of tourism, sustainable tourism is widely discussed among researchers and practitioners. On the other hand, luxury tourism is criticised for lavish resource utilisation to serve the few luxury tourists. There is a need to include sustainability in luxury tourism to benefit the environment, local communities, tourist destination and luxury tourists. However, sustainable luxury tourism is an emerging concept and needs more investigation. This chapter attempts to present the existing knowledge about sustainable luxury tourism by implementing a systematic literature review. Further, the opportunities and challenges associated with sustainable luxury tourism are being highlighted. This study has identified the factors that need to be considered to promote sustainable luxury tourism. Moreover, suggestions of the researchers are being presented to serve as guidelines. This study includes an example of the Diphlu river lodge, which has practised sustainable luxury tourism for many years. The viewpoint of luxury tourists are being understood by analysing the reviews of tourists from TripAdvisor using NVIVO-12 qualitative data analysis software. The combination of literature review and practical information provides insight into sustainable luxury tourism. 2022 by Emerald Publishing Limited. All rights reserved.

Sustainable Management of Exotic Fish Biodiversity in Karnataka: Status, Challenges, and Threats
Aquatic ecosystem; Biological invasion; Conservation; Fish biodiversity; Invasive alien species; Karnataka; Threats
Fish biodiversity, a significant part of the aquatic ecosystem, has been studied widely in India. However, the distribution and diversity of fish species have not been well-researched at the state and/or regional levels. Karnataka is bestowed with 8% of the countrys water resources, which are under extreme pressure because of unregulated population growth, biological invasion, and developmental requirements. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, India has been introducing alien species to its water bodies. Currently, 13.6% of the fish diversity in India is exotic and has been established voluntarily or involuntarily for various purposes. The establishment of invasive alien fishes negatively influences native fish communities around the globe. In general, most publications present the latest status of ichthyofauna in several regions of Karnataka; however, there is no up-to-date documentation on strategic environmental developments and unforeseen challenges, such as invasive alien species (IAS). This study reconstructs existing knowledge while analytically reviewing challenges, potential management techniques, advancements, and the impacts of climate change and disseminates the data necessary for the comprehension of the biological invasion of IAS. 2024, Indian Society for Ecological Economics (INSEE).

Sustainable Marketing Initiatives and Consumer Perception of Fast Fashion Brands
brand loyalty; fast fashion; marketing; purchase behaviour; structure equation modelling; sustainability
The fast fashion industry has been criticized for negatively impacting the economy, environment, and social justice. Consequently, many brands adopt sustainable marketing practices to promote eco-friendly manufacturing and encourage sustainable purchase behaviour. To explore this trend, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among fashion brand consumers using a quantitative research design. The survey data was analyzed using variance-based partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that sustainable marketing practices can be supported by creating a positive brand image and building trust. Such practices can positively influence consumers' perception of sustainability and promote brand loyalty, which can lead to sustainable purchasing behaviour. The study provides valuable insights into sustainable marketing strategies that fashion brands can adopt to promote sustainable practices and policies in local markets. 2024, idd3.
