Abstract:

As rapid urbanization continues to take place, with a projected 68% of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050 according to the UN, waste management in proximity to human settlements poses problematic. Although waste generation and failure of its management is seen as a huge problem in developing cities, wealthier cities generate more waste than less affluent cities, and thus waste management is a crucial issue in developed as well as developing cities for obvious ecological reasons and for sustainability. However, while collection of waste by high GDP cities is more frequent

Abstract:

Purpose – Waste is a resource. Generating energy from waste instead of sending it to landfill avoids methane gas which equals 25 times CO2 in mass. In combination with the energy efficiency thresholds set in Waste Framework Directive, this could prevent up to a further 45 million tons of CO2 eq. per year. The purpose of this paper is to present the waste-to-energy (WTE) plants installed in ten European cities which have been selected among the most sustainable cities or among the best cities to live in.

Nonetheless, there is no significant difference (8% difference) between Kaohsiung City and Taitung County for waste generation rate. It is found that food wastes account for the most proportion of the reusable waste of Kaohsiung City (36.88%) and Taitung County (6.43%), and moreover, the proportion of reusa

Abstract:

The study examined the extent of solid waste recycling practices employed by hotels in Aba and Umuahia metropolises of Abia State, Nigeria. Urban cities in Nigeria face challenges with waste management and it has been discovered that hotels play major roles in generating massive quantities of solid wastes in our environment. Recycling which is an important 21st century innovation seems not to be utilized by hotels as a waste management strategy even with its numerous advantages. The objective of the study is to examine the extent hotels recycle solid wastes in major urban cities in Abia State.

The study investigates Bio-Medical Waste (BMW) management in Chandigarh, focusing on waste quantity, types, and intervention needs. Inadequate practices, especially in private healthcare facilities, reveal issues like insufficient training and neglect of waste segregation. The current BMW treatment at PGIMER relies on incineration, posing health risks. The study highlights the city's ecosystem and public health impact due to poor waste management. Encouraging proper disposal practices for recyclable waste is crucial. Over 3.5 months, the study measures BMW production, estimating 3500 kg/day in

Abstract:

Numerous studies and investigations have been done on the origins and properties of wastes, as well as the potential negative effects of improper treatment and best global practises. The definition of a waste, however, is still a matter of debate. How much do we actually know about what constitutes waste? What have waste management practises looked like historically? In order to provide answers from earlier studies, the current research paper aims to examine these crucial questions. To address the research aims, the report took a descriptive method. In particular, the work uses a descriptive a

Abstract:

The quantum of solid waste generated by the world is growing with increasing development and changing lifestyles, making waste management a daunting challenge. The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, of India, along with initiatives by the Smart City Mission and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, are pivotal in encouraging sustainable waste management. This paper establishes progress, gaps, and ground realities in solid waste management (SWM) in three of the best-performing cities in India. The paper first documents trends and practices in SWM in the three cities and then cross-checks the ground scenario

Abstract:

The municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one major concern in Cambodia due to complicated problems from waste sector. Until now, because of poor MSWM, solid wastes have produced high pollution, like methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2), which are the substances of greenhouse gas affect to climate change. Therefore, this study was undertaken to estimate and compare the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from municipal solid waste in different cities namely; Phnom Penh, Battambang, and Siem Reap of Cambodia. GHG emission was calculated through Intergovernmental Panel on

Abstract:

The zero-waste city is one of the most visionary initiatives for solving waste problems by enhancing the life cycle solid waste management system. However, the development level of ZW city construction remains unclear. Resource-based areas tend to produce large amounts of industrial solid waste, and achieving a zero-waste city is difficult due to insufficient resource utilization capacity. This study proposed a practical integrated MCDM approach to assess the performance of the ZW city and applied the approach to a typical coal resource-based province in China.

Solid waste management is the prime one to be considered for the better standard of living of the people. The plastics, metals, hospital wastes, industrial wastes and other wastes affect the soil and leading to solid waste management. The degenerative effect of solid waste management affects the environment and unleashes unwanted pathogens causing untold miseries to the human population. The inhabitants of the cities and towns generate more solid wastes when compared to the counter parts in the rural areas due to the consumption life and non-availability of space for vitiating the solid wastes

Abstract Due to the concentration of people and industries, cities are the main human habitats where residents can create opportunities for flourishing economic, political and social lives. However, these diverse anthropogenic activities also create flows of material and energy within cities that are inevitably produced and wasted. In order to investigate how cities can better reduce and repurpose the flows of material and energy, this paper adopts the urban metabolism approach to frame cities as a complex socio-ecological system where natural and human systems co-produce the environment the u

Rapid and simple waste assessment methodologies are needed in rural areas where waste data is scarce and different waste management measures are required compared to urban areas.

The clear understanding of characteristics and trends of solid waste generation is essential for the optimization of waste collection and treatment systems. Taking 651 cities in China as a sample, this study adopts correlation analysis and the Q-type clustering model to explore the characteristics and general trends of solid waste generation (SWG) of five cities of different scale from 2007 to 2016. The results show that the trends of average amount and the annual per capita SWG are diversified in cities of different scale. The permanent residents and regional GDP have prominent impacts on SWG
