Abstract:

In Oman, the total quantity of MSW stood at 2.0 million tonnes/year. The emission from this waste is estimated at 2,989,467 tonnes/year (CO2 Equivalent). This article proposes different frameworks that considered landfilling, composting, and recycling of MSW and compared the emissions of these frameworks. The framework (F2) which includes landfilling and composting process for the organic waste which normally goes to landfills results in an increase of emissions by 7% as compared to current practice. likewise, the samples of MSW collected in Oman show a good amount of recycling waste.

Abstract:

Recently, composting has been gaining increased attention as an alternative means of handling manure generated by the livestock industry. Composting is not a new technology, it merely controls what is a natural decomposition process. A major advantage of composting is reduced mass, volume and water content compared with fresh manure which in turn reduces transportation requirements. Concomitant benefits include elimination of pathogens, parasites, weed seeds and odour emissions on land application. However, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) losses and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are associated wi

Abstract:

Organic waste generation, collection, and management are significant challenges in both developed and developing countries. Composting represents a key technology in circular economy and sustainability, as it returns organic matter back to the system in a way that improve soil quality and health, mitigates waste pollution and helps conserving resources. However, composting also has some negative environmental impacts, including issues that raise social concerns.

Abstract:

In this study, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool was employed to assess the environmental impact of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Pune, India, under four different scenarios. These scenarios included composting combined with landfilling (S1), a material recovery facility (MRF) and composting combined with landfilling (S2), MRF and anaerobic digestion (AD) combined with landfilling (S3), and MRF, AD, and composting combined with landfilling (S4). The environmental assessments have been performed by means of the LCA- based tool EASEWASTE, aimed to compare these scenarios based on t

Abstract:

End-of-life options for plastics include recycling and energy recovery (incineration). Taking into account the polymeric waste, recycling is the intentional action that is aimed at reducing the amount of waste deposited in landfills by industrial use of this waste to obtain raw materials and energy. The incineration of waste leads to recovery of the energy only. Recycling methods divide on mechanical (reuse of waste as a full-valuable raw material for further processing), chemical (feedstock recycling), and organic (composting and anaerobic digestion). The type of recycling is selected in term

Abstract:

This study investigated the effect of locally available bulking agents on the faecal sludge (FS) composting process and quality of the final FS compost. Dewatered FS was mixed with sawdust, coffee husk and brewery waste, and composted on a pilot scale. The evolution of physical and chemical characteristics of the composting materials was monitored weekly. Results indicate that bulking agents have a statistically significant effect (p < 0.0001) on the evolution of composting temperatures, pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen forms, organic matter mineralisation, total organic carbon, maturi

Abstract:

Barrel composting offers an efficient and sustainable solution for organic waste management in community settings particularly at the household level. Waste management is also a problem in rural areas including the village of Luthi Lamweu, District of Sukamakmir, Aceh Besar. This program aimed to educate and produce about barrel composting using organic household waste by engaging women. By converting household organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, barrel composting helps reduce landfill waste while improving soil health for local agriculture. Women's participation played a crucial role in

Abstract:

National Waste Management Plan 2028 comprises goals and tasks also in the field of selective collection of bio-waste from residents as well as increased organic recycling by promoting composting of bio-waste by residents "at the source". European Union guidelines require reporting and present two methods of obtaining data: indirect and direct (including surveys). Actual measurement of the input or output from the recycling process is not always possible and therefore attention is paid to the high level of confidence in the data. In 2023, an attempt was made to determine the mass of bio-waste a

Abstract: Garbage collection is an important task of ensuring that our communities have a pleasant environment in which to live. But the main problem we face today can be reduced by reducing or minimizing the amount of waste transportation, specific waste. A compactor can be used to reduce the amount of waste streams. The waste burden remains the same so there are no savings from the total waste generated. However, the amount of waste can be reduced by up to 80%, eliminating the need to empty the dumpster many times, resulting in lower pick-up charges. These paper focus on, to identify and ana

With the escalated increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Malaysia reaching a shocking 38,000 ton/day in 2017, a sustainable waste management system is much desired. Nationwide, there are 176 landfills but only 8 are sanitary landfill with the rest are open dumpsites. In the campus of University of Malaya, UM Zero Waste Campaign (UM ZWC) was introduced in 2011 to start a long-term campaign to achieve an integrated and sustainable waste management model and ultimately a zero-waste campus.

Abstract:

The paper addresses the issues of recycling, which contributes to the environment protection. Recycling contributes to the use and circulation of industrial or household waste, or its conversion into energy. Recycling is a labor-intensive and energy-intensive process which can reduce the volume of primary raw materials used, the level of air, water and soil pollution. There are different processing technologies for each type of raw material: metals are melted; waste paper is crushed, dissolved and cleaned; plastic is sorted, foreign objects are removed and crushed.
