Top Research Papers on Waste Management

The world-wide intensification of livestock industries poses major challenges for waste disposal. For example, the total solids wastes discharged from livestock farms in China exceeded 1.7 billion tons in 1997, with a further 20 billion tons of waste water being discharged to the environment — only 10% of these wastes were treated! A key element of sustainable development is Cleaner Production. Cleaner Production is an approach in which wastes are handled in such a way that environmental pollution is avoided. Cleaner Production practices include waste minimisation, pollution prevention, recycl...

Discard studies have demonstrated that waste is more than just a symptom of an all-too-human demand for meaning or a merely technical problem for sanitary engineers and public health officials. The afterlife of waste materials and processes of waste management reveal the centrality of transient and discarded things for questions of materiality and ontology and marginal and polluting labor and environmental justice movements, as well as for critiques of the exploitation and deferred promises of modernity and imperial formations. There is yet more waste will tell us, especially as more studies c...

Abstract The recent event held by the IMF Midland branch on 13 February 2007 at the Birmingham Medical Institute was an outstanding success with over 50 persons in attendance backed by a well-supported tabletop exhibition.

Waste is generated both during the production and the consumption stages of the economy. Environment is a composite asset. The objective of development should be to minimize the undue depreciation of this asset. Excessive waste generation will lead to the depreciation of this asset. The impact of this depreciation is not confined to the future generation alone; it could sometimes reduce the services to the current generation as well. This paper uses a "cubic" framework to analyze the effectiveness, equity and acceptability of various policy instruments that may be used to control municipal sol...

Several studies and researches have been conducted on the sources and characteristics of wastes as well as the possible adverse effect of inappropriate handling and best international practices. One thing that is still not clear however is what exactly constitutes a waste? How much do we know about what should be classed as waste? What are the historical contexts of waste managements? The present paper seeks to examine these vital questions with a view to providing answers from previous studies. The paper employed a desktop approach to provide answers to the research objectives. Specifically, ...

Every year, the British public celebrates Jesus's birthday by cutting down eight million trees, wrapping enough presents to smother Guernsey, binning billions of greetings cards, and then throwing away £lbn worth of food. With a bit of thought these waste can be managed, sort clean, extrude and process our way to a greener future.The EU Batteries Directive has set recycling targets of 25 per cent of all batteries by next year, rising to 45 per cent in 2016. Britain has made more progress when it comes to recycling high-tech gifts. The recycling of unwanted gizmos, also known as WEEE (Waste Ele...

Waste management is a new concept for most of the Asian countries including India. The lack of financial and technical resources and regulatory control for the management of hazardous waste in the past has led to the unscientific disposal of hazardous waste in India. Now a days urbanization not only concentrates waste but also raises generation rates. New and expensive technologies are being pushed to deal with our urban waste problem ignoring their environmental and social implications. Hazardous waste can be classified into solid, liquid, gases and sludge waste. There are various methods of ...

The electronic industries are largest and fastest growing manufacturing industry in the world. The current practices of e-waste management in India suffer from a number of drawbacks like the difficulty in inventorisation, unhealthy conditions of informal recycling, inadequate legislation, poor awareness and reluctance on part of the corporate to address the critical issues. The consequences are that (i) toxic materials enter the waste stream with no special precautions to avoid the known adverse effects on the environment and human health and (ii) resources are wasted when economically valuabl...

The safe use of nuclear power in any country rests also on the possibility of safely managing and disposing of all kinds of radioactive wastes and effluents that are generated during the operations of nuclear facilities. These problems have been recognized and studied since the early days of nuclear technology and considerable experience has been gained. However, issues of waste management have dome to the fore in recent years with the increasing role of nuclear power. Obviously, industrial development of nuclear power cannot proceed successfully without the assurance that safety requirements ...

In an attempt to construct a new agenda for waste management, this thesis explores the importance of the definition of waste and its impact on waste management, and the role of ownership in waste management. It is recognised that present legal waste definitions are ambiguous and do not really give an insight into the concept of waste. Moreover, despite its explicit wish of waste prevention, when according to present legislation a thing is assigned the label of a waste, it is going to be treated like waste, implicitly legislation thus amasses waste. The philosophical ramifications inherent in s...

First, let us start with the yearly count. According to The World Counts, “Every year we dump a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste. If all this waste was put on trucks, they would go around the world 24 times” (“Tons of Waste Dumped – Globally, This Year”). Not only is this amount unprecedented and is only getting worse every year due to population growth, the majority of countries are not dealing with waste properly.

Waste management has become very challenging in our society. Different types of wastes which are produced in our society have been investigated. Special attention has been given in the management methods of waste.

The Productivity Commission's inquiry report into 'Waste Management' was released in December 2006. The Australian Government asked the Commission to identify policies that would enable Australia to address market failures and externalities associated with the generation and disposal of waste, and recommend how resource efficiencies can be optimised to improve economic, environmental and social outcomes. In the final report, the Commission maintains that waste management policy should be refocused on the environmental and social impacts of waste collection and disposal. The Commission noted th...

Proper waste management is a great challenge to modern society because of increased urbanization and population growth, yet it is a concern to the environment. This project encompasses a comprehensive system of waste management using technology as the basis in streamlining its collection, segregation, and proper disposal. These features include database management, a role-based structure for users, and real-time performance monitoring. The system focuses on the lack of accountability in traditional waste collection practices, very low user participation rates, and even inefficiency when using ...

France’s policy on waste, like its environmental policy in general, is strongly influenced by Community policy. It has progressively diversified its objectives: public hygiene, security, reduction in the environmental impact of different treatments and, more recently, prevention and recycling. These main orientations are contained in the July 15 1975 law amended by the July 13 1992 law on elimination of waste and recovery of materials. Furthermore, waste treatment and elimination facilities are considered as classified installations in France, i.e. installations which may represent dangers or ...

Waste is a cause of direct and indirect environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate disruption. As a pharmaceutical company, we believe it is important to reduce both environmental and health impacts of waste and to improve resource efficiency. As part of its Planet Mobilization program, Sanofi considers that waste management is a key approach to take actions about resource depletion and we are committed to reduce the impact of our waste on the environment.

This thesis argues that, when managing memory-resident data, the problem of optimal data placement is tightly connected to the efficiency of the query processing paradigm and can, therefore, not be studied in isolation and investigates the connection between storage model and processing paradigm.

Fifty years of nuclear industry and the wide spread use of radioactive materials in Europe have resulted in matured programmes for radioactive waste management. According to the selfsufficiency principle, each country collects, processes, stores and disposes of its radioactive waste. National programmes allow close control of possible environmental and safety impacts, but are not the optimal choice for disposal of radioactive waste in countries with small nuclear programmes. Most technical, safety and environmental arguments are in favour of a ‘shared’ disposal. In this paper, it will be shown...

Beginning in the early 1990s, stricter government regulation to protect public health and the environment led to radical changes in waste technology and management in the United States. More stringent regulation induced wholly new technologies, including the lining of landfills, the control of their gas emissions, and changes in the economic scale and geographic location of operation. Economic integration of waste management transformed “the local dump” into a nationwide and modernized industry. These changes led to unprecedented intervention by local government in attempts to control price, q...

The constant growth of the population increases the demands on raw material resources, which is reflected in increasing pressure on the environment. The impact of mankind on the environment is nowadays an increasingly acute problem, which is being addressed by the governments of individual countries, not only the EU, through legislative interventions. The most addressed areas are the issue of production and subsequent waste management. Waste production in the world has been growing for a long time, which causes considerable problems for individual countries. Each country is currently looking f...

South African mines produce megatonnes of solid waste, and megalitres of liquid and gaseous waste. The question is, what do they do with it, or what can they do with it?

It is understood that Turkey has drawn up a ‘road map’ which will be followed by the 2008—2012 Waste Management Action Plan and will attain the European Union standards for waste management if these tasks lead to the achievement of the targets within the action plan.

Food wastage occurs along the entire food chain, from field to table. As much as it is an ethical issue on one hand, it also leads to economic losses and has negative impacts on the environment. Food wastage is, therefore, a significant problem for modern society and the first step in solving it is to identify and understand the reasons for its emergence in each part of the food chain and specific sectors – in this case, the hospitality sector. In order to create practices and recommendations aimed primarily at preventing food wastage, food waste categorization and quantification is essential....

Protecting the occupational environment is a top priority in manufacturing of any kind of products and provision of various types of services. Environmental protection plays a significant role in the mining industry, as increasing extraction of minerals involves growing amounts of waste and environmental pollution. In 2019 alone, industrial waste generation in the Russian Federation peaked at 7.75 billion tonnes. AZOTTECH LLC is currently handling industrial waste associated with the production and use of chemicals for drilling and blasting operations, scrap from machine-building plants, etc. ...
