    Standardization Framework for Sustainability from Circular Economy 4.0

The incorporation of the principles of the CE in the links of the value chain of the various sectors of the economy strives to ensure circularity, safety, and efficiency. The framework proposed is aligned with the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development regarding the orientation towards the mitigation and regeneration of the metabolic rift by considering a double perspective. Firstly, it strives to conceptualize the CE as a paradigm of sustainability. Its principles are established, and its techniques and tools are organized into two frameworks oriented towards causes (cradle to cradle) and effects (life cycle assessment), and these are structured under the three pillars of sustainability, for their projection within the proposed framework. Secondly, a framework is established to facilitate the implementation of the CE with the use of standards, which constitute the requirements, tools, and indicators to control each life cycle phase, and of key enabling technologies (KETs) that add circular value 4.0 to the socio-ecological transition.

Natural rubber undergoes chemical processes and structural modifications, while synthetic rubber, mainly synthetized from petroleum by-products are difficult to degrade safely and sustainably. The most prominent group of biological rubber degraders are Actinobacteria. Rubber degrading Actinobacteria contain rubber degrading genes or rubber oxygenase known as latex clearing protein (lcp). Rubber is a polymer consisting of isoprene, each containing one double bond. The degradation of rubber first takes place when lcp enzyme cleaves the isoprene double bond, breaking them down into the sole carbon and energy source to be utilized by the bacteria. Actinobacteria grow in diverse environments, and lcp gene containing strains have been detected from various sources including soil, water, human, animal, and plant samples. This review entails the occurrence, physiology, biochemistry, and molecular characteristics of Actinobacteria with respect to its rubber degrading ability, and discusses possible technological applications based on the activity of Actinobacteria for treating rubber waste in a more environmentally responsible manner.

Ki sang son et al [1] investigate the reinforced concrete column with waste tyre rubber particles of different sizes and Kota stone dust is waste product obtained by Kota stone percentages by considering the concrete compressive strength quarries while placingkota stone. A large amount of waste is 24mpa and 28mpa to examine the concrete properties. In this produced by such quarries only small quantity is used and rest is dumped . This can be used as replacement of fine aggregate. study 600 µ to 1 mm size of rubber particle was used. 27 control specimen were prepared, the result indicated that the Crumb rubber is recycled rubber produced from automotive rubber filled RC column gives slightly lower compressive and truck scrap tires.

    ICSI Guidance, tools and standards Action Track | Position paper JULY, 2021 A Review of the Landscape of Guidance, Tools and Standards for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure 2 A REVIEW OF THE LANDSCAPE OF GUIDANCE, TOOLS AND STANDARDS FOR SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE ABOUT ICSI The International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) was founded in 2019 by The Resilience Shift, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and its ASCE Foundation, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), WSP and LA Metro, among others. It aims to bring together the entire value chain of infrastructure and unlock the opportunity of using engineers as a driving force for positive impact. It will give engineers a voice in ensuring that we pick the right infrastructure projects to fund and then design and build them with resilience in mind from the outset to ensure safe, sustainable and resilient infrastructure for all our futures. ICSI delivers industry change by engaging members and their organisations through Action Tracks that seek to understand the gaps and barriers to the development of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. ICSI responds with specific actions to address these challenges, and engages stakeholders who are instrumental in delivering actions and adopting new resources, practices and behaviours.
