Agent-based modelling analysis on the potential economic benefits of mud cake waste to wealth

Production of refined sugar generates a significant amount of mud cake waste which has traditionally been managed through disposal in landfills. Such practice is not sustainable and can have negative environmental impacts. While previous research has primarily focused on evaluating the environmental...
