Abstract:

The most visible outcome of the increasing pace of urbanisation, along with the rise in the spate of consumerism in the liberalised economic setup, has been the sharp increase in municipal solid waste generation across the urban centres in the developing countries. As the challenge of providing this service becomes more and more pressing, municipalities are turning to the private sector to fill the gap and become the prime service providers. Privatisation of solid waste management services has thus emerged as „the‟ alternative and, as such, several municipalities have taken hasty steps to intr

Abstract:

The population growth in many urban cities and its activities in developing countries have resulted in an increased solid waste generation rate and waste management has become a global environmental issue. Routing of solid waste collection vehicles in developing countries like Pakistan poses a challenging task. In the process of solid waste management, collection and transportation play a leading role in waste collection and disposal, in which collection activities contributed the most to total cost for solid waste collection activities.

The majority of solid waste generated by urban living cannot be assimilated in the city environment,and initial improvements in urban cleanliness and health were only realized when organized wastecollection and disposal outside of city limits was introduced in Europe in the late 19th century.Sanitary landfills were later invented to reduce the environmental effects of large unsecureddumpsites, it is now however increasingly being shown that this too as a waste management strategyoffers a worse environmental footprint than material and energy recovery and recycling (Cherubini et01., 2009).

Africa is developing at a fast pace in the 21st century and this is accompanied by continuing urbanization. The economic growth rate, measured in terms of growth in gross domestic product (GDP), has been of the order of 4-5% p.a. for much of the past decade, well above the global average. With these increases in economic wealth and urbanization, people are becoming more affluent and demanding more consumer goods. This implies not just growth in the volumes of materials entering and leaving cities, but also a qualitative shift in what is increasingly called ‘the metabolism’ of the cities where

However, the application of encapsulated cells may be hampered by the high price of encapsulation, enzymes and the low stability of capsules’ membrane at high shear stresses.

Abstract:

This work has investigated the production of natural antioxidants from citrus peels, which is intended to lower the environmental impacts from the disposal of the waste and also to make additional profit for the citrus fruit industry. Regarding the extraction method, it has been found in this study that MAE could reduce the extraction time and increase the maximum extractable phenolic compounds. Furthermore, the spray-drying experiments to produce Navel orange peel extract powder resulted in yields of between 75% and 92% and the total phenolics content (TPC) recoveries of between 89% and 92%.T

Abstract:

Garbage landfills are at the heart of debates over sustainable urban development. Landfills are the cheapest waste-disposal method, but have specific environmental problems and are a common target for citizen activism such as environmental justice and Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) protests. As a means of covering up the scars at recently closed landfills, it has been common for cities to redevelop landfills into parks. The ongoing redevelopment projects at New York City's Fresh Kills, Greater Toronto's

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2006.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Municipal waste presents problems of pollution, health hazards and resource conservation. Household waste forms part of municipal solid waste that is a challenge to control due to its heterogeneity and diversity. The ever-filling landfills for the disposal of solid waste due to rapid population increase and urbanization call for urgent waste management strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste. In this study householders' attitudes, participation in recycling and willingness to participate in household solid waste

In the world today, thousands of humans in developing countries live in metropolises anddepend on garbage for their livelihoods. In Cairo, waste has been taken care of by aChristian minority group called the ‘Zabaleen’.This Bachelor thesis was conducted in Cairo and financed by a Minor Field Studyscholarship in August-October 2012. It focuses on Egyptian citizens’ attitudes towards asustainable recycling system and their attitudes towards the traditional garbage collector‘Zabaleen’.

Abstract:

Women’s involvement in collective struggles for environmental quality has surged in recent years, as has research focusing on this phenomenon. Consistent with this research, a feminist lens is useful in revealing a model of community struggle that features women’s activities and strategies to expose environmental insult. I use a case study of community protest in Hermosillo, a city in the Mexican state of Sonora, to feature social networks as a means of politicizing the placement of a toxic waste dump six kilometers outside the city. A feminist perspective reveals these social networks to be m

Abstract:

The Environmental Levy Scheme on Plastic Shopping was enforced in July 2009. The Levy aimed to create a direct fiscal disincentive to reduce the indiscriminate use of Plastic Shopping Bags and encourage consumers to switch to reusable shopping bags. In theory, fiscal instruments are more efficient and effective to change people’s behaviour, but its impacts towards attitude are still in question. Also, the level of green citizenship, which emphasising that people have the responsibility to protect and sustain the environment, is a good indicator to know people’s attitudes towards the environme

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the contestations over the politics of knowledge, risk, and environmental justice in three fenceline sites. Mobilizing the fenceline standpoint to study risk strengthens our objective understanding of the social situatedness of risk. To illustrate how a fenceline standpoint contributes to stronger objectivity of risk contestations, I survey public discourse of coal slurry extraction in Black Mesa, Arizona using an environmental justice framework. Discursive justifications for the construction of the slurry pipeline reveal how environmental injustice in the fenceline
