(**) On the morning of November 5th, 117 students from 5th to 9th grade at a municipal school in Curitiba participated in a series of environmental education activities. The event included a film screening on plastic pollution, a visit to the Potencial stand to learn about biodiesel, an interactive recycling game provided by INPAR, and concludes with a snack for the students and teachers.
Potencial is a leading company in the fuel sector, recognized for its commitment to sustainable practices and cleaner energy solutions.
INPAR is an organization dedicated to social inclusion and sustainability, focusing on raising awareness about the importance of recycling and environmental preservation.
AmICUS - Advances in Cleaner Production School
About
AmICUS is an advanced studies workshop that provides opportunities for close interaction between students and young researchers of the Advances in Cleaner Production Network (ACPN), conducting cutting-edge research in pursuit of more sustainable production systems. It also encourages interdisciplinary discussions on relevant and current sustainability topics. To achieve this goal, the program is structured around (i) lectures and (ii) research project presentations by participants.
In this edition, two important methodologies for assessing the sustainability of production systems will be presented and discussed: Life Cycle Assessment and Emergy Synthesis. It is widely agreed among researchers and decision-makers that production systems must shift toward more sustainable models. However, how can we ensure that new technologies and management strategies are genuinely making systems more sustainable? Thus, the objective of AmICUS 2024 is to inspire the next generation of scientists to discuss their research projects from a sustainability perspective.
Participation
The event is open to those registered in the PHYSICAL CATEGORY of the 13th IWACP/1st IWPPO and will be conducted in PORTUGUESE. There are 100 spots available for master's and doctoral students, as well as early-career researchers, with selection based on registration order if necessary.
To register, participants must email one of the event coordinators by October 28th, 2024, including their full name, institution, academic level, and stating whether they wish to attend as a listener or present a project. The coordinators are:
- Dr. Biagio F. Giannetti (UNIP; biafgian@unip.br)
- Dr. Marcell M. Maceno (UFPR; marcell.maceno@ufpr.br)
- Dr. Rafael Araújo Nascimento (Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste FMVZ/USP; rafael.nacimento@usp.br)
- Dr. Feni Agostinho (UNIP; feni@unip.br)
- Dr. Cecília M.V.B. Almeida (UNIP; cmvbag@unip.br)
Up to 5 innovative project ideas will be selected for presentation, with results announced via email.

Published by Springer Nature and indexed by Scopus. Please note that submissions to the book are subject to standard peer-review procedures.
This book is the result of a partnership between ACPN, Springer Nature and PUCPRESS to disseminate knowledge and provide academic recognition to participating authors.
Supporting Journals
The Applications of Circular Economy Journal supports the 13th IWACP and will provide a fast track for papers related to circular economy. As a courtesy, accepted papers will be exempt from the APC fee. The call will be open from november 1st, 2024 to april 30th, 2025 and authors must indicate to the editor, at the time of submission, that the paper is from a participant of the 13th IWACP. Authors may submit papers different from those submitted to the event.

Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal focusing on Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability research and practice. Through our published articles, we aim at helping societies become more sustainable.
'Cleaner Production' is a concept that aims at preventing the production of waste, while increasing efficiencies in the uses of energy, water, resources, and human capital.
The Journal of Cleaner Production serves as a platform for addressing and discussing theoretical and practical cleaner production, encompassing environmental, and sustainability issues in corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies.
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cleaner-production/
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities aims to develop a multi-disciplinary academic approach to life in contemporary and future urban environments. The journal publishes rigorously peer-reviewed, cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics, from engineering and urban studies to social sciences, with a focus on achieving sustainable living processes within future urban landscapes (in line with SDGs).
To achieve resilience, environmental health, people’s inclusion, equality and healthy living in the face of the severe economical and environmental challenges facing the world today, international collaboration across all disciplines is required, including aspects on energy engineering, human geography and economics, architecture, governance and political science, public health, natural and behavioural science.
ACPN Award
The ACPN Award Ceremony was held during the 13th International Workshop on Advances in Cleaner Production (IWACP). Three researchers representing the senior generation of Advances in Cleaner Production Network (ACPN) were chosen.
The Award
The Advances in Cleaner Production (ACPN) Award is inspired on the logo of the International Workshop on Advances in Cleaner Production 2007. The biosphere elements - nature and society - are represented the trees and the buildings. The primary driving force of the natural services used by society, solar renewable energy, transforms and circulates within the ecosystem. The arrow represents the ideal resource flow in the biosphere as the basis of the planet’s sustainability.
The highest building is the icon building of the Paulista University representing symbolically a teaching and research institution not only as the highest and the most prominent institution in a sustainable society, but also the institution where the International Workshop and Network on Advances in Cleaner Production was founded.
