No net biodiversity loss is a key goal of many green energy projects. The authors argue that indirect benefits to biodiversity should not be included in no-net-loss calculations.

With evident relevance to SDG 6, the research explores a water pollution control technology evaluation model based on the Pythagorean language neutrosophic set (PLNS) in the context of the pulp and paper industry. The authors' model aims to assist in the choice of appropriate water pollution control technology for those working within the paper industry. It is tested in an example based in China.
