Abstract:
Household solid waste generation rate in low-income countries is increasing due to population growth and changes in people’s lifestyles. Sorting waste into categories is an important step in household waste management. However, there is limited information about sorting practices in a low-income setting like Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess household solid waste (HSW) sorting practices, and factors associated with sorting practices.A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2021 in Bedelle town. Households were randomly selected, and household heads

Household waste comprises of garbage and rubbish from individual home and flats/ apartments. This waste consists of fruits and vegetables, food scrapes, papers, cans and bottles, clothes, chocolate wrappers, shampoo bottles and sachets etc. These are non- hazardous wastes generated by household and can be recycled. Hazardous wastes are those from pest control, home cleaners, batteries, garage oils which have adverse impact on the environment and threatens human life and other living organisms.

Abstract:
Food waste poses a threat to both food security as well as the long-term sustainability of a country’s food system. In South Africa, the expense of post-consumer food waste (mostly from households) is estimated at roughly US$2.7 billion annually, or 0.7% of South Africa's annual GDP. It is unfortunate that so much food is wasted in a country where 26% of people regularly experience hunger and another 28.3% are at risk of becoming hungry at a household level. This study aimed to investigate household food waste practices and behaviours in the KwaDukuza community using a consumer survey. The sur

Over recent years, the issue of how to manage waste sustainably has intensified for both researchers and policy makers. From a policy perspective, the reason for this intensification can be traced to European legislation and its transposition into UK policy. The Welsh Government in particular has set challenging statutory targets for Local Authorities. Such targets include increases in recycling and composting as well as waste reduction and reuse targets.

Globally, it is estimated that one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, which amounts to a concerning 1.3 billion tons per year (FAO, 2011). More concerning is the fact that much of the wastage is unnecessary because consumers often misinterpret product attributes such as date labels (i.e. sell-by; use-by and expiry-date), which they often rely on as a primary indication of product quality and/or safety. This tendency often leads to premature discarding/wastage of food products such as fresh produce. The problem is further exacerbated as current retail procedures

But thrift now exceeds domestic matters straying across scales to justify public expenditure cuts.

AbstractIn Tanzania, about 90% of the banana-coffee-based farming systems lie in the hands of smallholder farmer families. In these systems, smallholder farmers traditionally add farm waste to crop fields, making soils rich in organic matter (humus) and plant-available nutrients. Correspondingly, soils remained fertile during cultivation for over a century. Since the 1960s, the increasing demand for food and biofuels of a growing population has resulted in an overuse of these farming systems, which has occurred in tandem with deforestation, omitted fallows, declined farm size, and soil erosion

Abstract:
The presented paper focuses the issue of finding new sources of phosphorus fertilizers to be used in conventional agriculture. Various types of pellets for heating purposes were tested. Based on the determination of phosphorus (P) content in ash obtained from the combustion of pellets produced from plant waste generated during the production of seed materials, it was found out that getting P from this ash is more effective than getting P from the ash of wooden pellets that are commonly used as fuel in households. With the declared average consumption of wooden pellets by one household living i

Abstract:
Abstract The Danish government has outlined a target of recycling 50% of total household waste by the year 2022. Improving household waste sorting is an important consideration towards achieving this goal. This paper focuses on understanding existing waste sorting practices among Danish residents and exploring whether a mobile application can help address any existing information gaps. We conducted a preliminary survey (N = 180) that assessed preference for sorting strategies and the types of waste sorted. Following this a more detailed survey was conducted (N = 357) that assessed residents’ m

Abstract:
Indoor air quality (IAQ) management is crucial for ensuring a healthy and comfortable living environment. This study aimed to assess people's behaviours on IAQ management by investigating their awareness, attitudes, and practices. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted to gather data on IAQ-related habits and practices of individuals in Kurunagala-Abanpola, Kandy-Bothota, and Hamabnthtoa-Thangalle. The sample population was 156. The awareness of respondents regarding indoor air quality varied among the sampling locations. Awareness levels in Ambanpola, Bothtoa, and Thanagalle were 80%, 34.

Abstract:
The ongoing massive depletion of renewable and non-resources around the globe has presented the grave concern for human society. One material that requires sustainable practices is plastics, consumed widely in the world. According to a discussion paper by Anderson and Gbor (2024), till 2020-2021, annually Australia generates around 3.8 million tons of plastics out of which around only 0.4 million tonnes are recovered, and rest are being disposed to land and water. Out of varieties of polymers, ABS and PLA are some of the most popular for the manufacturing processes in the 3D printing industrie

Abstract:
Traditional packaging practices combine cultural heritage with environmental responsibility, offering sustainable solutions to modern packaging challenges. The over-reliance on synthetic materials, particularly plastics, has caused severe environmental damage, making eco-friendly alternatives essential. The growing concern over plastic pollution and its environmental impact emphasises the need for packaging solutions that reduce waste. Sri Lanka’s traditional packaging methods, deeply rooted in its ecological and cultural heritage, utilise biodegradable materials that align with modern sustain

Abstract:
Achieving sustainability is a shared interest which concerns both macro- and micro-level actors in the economy. Households' environmental awareness can be assessed in several aspects, where the use of resources (energy use; products, and equipment purchased) and the amount of waste produced are the key elements. Conscious purchasing behaviour and, on the other hand, waste reduction is the focus of the present study, being essential not only for sustainability but also for the implementation of a circular economy. In our study, we examined the practice of households in and around Sopron by rand

In the civil engineering field, the incorporation of chemical admixtures is now a practical technics' used for improving the properties of concrete, such as improved workability, decreasing the water demand, increasing strength, etc. However, chemical admixtures have some disadvantages such as environmental pollution during both their manufacture and their use, else, there are rare somewhere. Because of this background, bio-admixtures appear principally useful, due to their environmental effect and friendly properties, bio-admixtures are substances obtained from a biodegradable product also re

Abstract:
Used Cooking Oil (UCO) is a waste product from food preparation whose physicochemical characteristics change during the cooking process, making it unfit for human consumption; additionally, its inadequate management affects water resources, soil, fauna and public health. Its management is usually regulated for generators that carry out industrial, commercial and service activities, including basic duties for the residential sector, oriented towards its collection and delivery to storage sites, not usually accessible to all households.

Abstract:
To date, action to improve air quality in South Africa has focused on reducing emissions from industrial sources. This has led to measurable improvements in air quality in some industrial areas like the Vaal Triangle. Still, air pollution levels have remained above ambient air quality standards, and even worsened in large parts of the country, particularly low-income urban areas where many people live. Air quality offsets offer great potential to leverage resources and address air pollution in previously neglected areas. According to the Air Quality Offsets Guideline (2016), air quality offset
