Article Ranking Circularity Levels in Industrial Parks: A Holistic Approach Incorporating Environmental, Economic and Social Indicators(Springer, 2025) Berk, I.; Ediger, V.Ş.; Öztürk, E.B.; Uctug, F.G.; Kucuker, M.A.; Inan, A.; Aktuna, G.B.This study introduces a circularity ranking system at the meso-level, specifically targeting industrial parks, through the development of the Circular Economy Sustainability Index (CESI). The index comprises five economic-environmental indicators: energy intensity, emission intensity, water intensity, waste intensity, and recycling ratio, as well as a social indicator as a sixth dimension. We utilize CESI to evaluate the circular economy performance of 22 manufacturing firms in the Adana Hacı Sabancı Organized Industrial Zone (AOSB). AOSB, one of the most prominent industrial parks in Türkiye, serves as an excellent case study to assess companies’ circularity performance and identify areas for improvement in the country’s green industrial transformation endeavor. Our findings reveal that waste and recycling indicators are pivotal in determining circularity, contributing 34.6% to the overall score, while the social indicator adds another 16.3%. These results underscore the significance of effective waste management and social responsibility in enhancing circularity. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Algal Biofilm and Phycoremediation(CRC Press, 2024) Güneş, K.; Kaplangı, B.B.; Özkan, A.; Kucuker, M.A.Various physical and chemical methods have been extensively studied and explored for the remediation of heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants present in wastewater. However, the chemicals used in these methods lead to a second treatment, causing problems such as high cost and application difficulties. To overcome this problem, the bioremediation method is an acceptable pollutant removal alternative. It is used as an efficient biological agent in bioremediation studies in microalgae and bacterial strains commonly used in treatment systems. Phycoremediation refers to microalgae-based pollutant removal. In recent studies with algal bioremediation, Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., Spirulina platensis, and Chlamydomonas sp. have been used mostly to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from water streams. In this section, definitions regarding algal biofilm, including its formation mechanism and applications in remediation, will be provided. Subsequently, the suspended and attached algal growth systems commonly employed for pollutant removal will be studied. Furthermore, diverse methodologies utilized for the valorization of algal biomass will be examined. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Maulin P. Shah and Günay Yıldız Töre.
