The majority of the produced spent coffee grounds are currently being inappropriately destined for landfills or to a form of energy recovery (e.g., incineration) as a refuse-derived fuel. The disposal of spent coffee in landfills allows for its anaerobic degradation wit

There are mainly three measures for waste disposal: combustion, landfill and composting. Among them, combustion is believed to be the most efficient way. It is the most convenient way to reduce the amount of waste at utmost. Meanwhile, it is not only harmless, but contributes useful heat source. Therefore, most of developed countries employed combustion in waste disposal. Today, China is contributing 30 percent of the waste in the world; however, landfilling is still the most common way for waste disposal. To change this situation, the government of China has taken steps to generalize the use

Growing environmental pressures and escalating intake water costs are causing an increasing number of industrialists to reappraise their effluent treatment facilities with a view to effluent recycle and/or resource recovery. In certain instances industrialists have opted for treated sewage effluent as a water source for their process. Water Management Schemes are being, or have been, implemented at a number of industrial concerns in order to rationalise overall water intake and effluent disposal costs.

Abstract:
For some years, the massive spreading of technically complex products as well as the shortening of product life cycles have led to a constantly rising return flow of discarded technical devices. The removal of these devices today occurs mostly through disposal-oriented strategies, i.e. used products are shredded and finally stored in dumps or eliminated thermally in domestic refuse combustion plants. For a long time, the product flow was a one-way street. Public and legal pressure have led to an increase in the importance of environmentally-oriented aspects in both the industrial and private sector. This leads to a rising demand for the establishment of a cycle-oriented economy. The cycle-oriented economy aims to keep materials and products in economic circulation as long as possible. The objective of the cycle-oriented economy is motivated by the shortage of resources (energy and raw materials) and the shrinking of disposal areas (air, water, soil), as well as the realization that economically usable potentials are currently being thrown away (Gupta and Veerakamolmal, 1999). Disposal, as central component of the cycle-oriented economy, includes recycling. Recycling includes disassembly as a type of treatment. In contrast to other types of treatment, disassembly permits a higher maintenance of value of old products; however, it usually requires a higher expenditure as well. In contrast to alternative types of treatment (i.e. shredding), the recovery of functional components and assemblies for reuse (product recycling) and the possibility of the recovery of materials (material recycling) are possible advantages of conducting a disassembly process (Seliger and Kriwet, 1993). In general, disassembly follows the same objectives as production; thus remanufacturing is often spoken of (Rautenstrauch, 1999).

Abstract:
Hutchinson argues that sanitation and disinfection became evident targets of health reform during the Civil War due to the rapid reformation of medicine. After the war, attention to sanitation continued to rise, particularly in cities and the dwellings within them. Issues of importance were human waste, refuse, ventilation, and disposal of garbage. Advances in water supply, sewage disposal, hygiene, and the recognition of disease-causing agents marked changes in post-Civil War environmental reform. The focus on healthy living was further supported by the acceptance of the germ theory of disease, following 1875.

Abstract:
Bioremediation technologies are one of the novel methods in the field of waste and environment management and are presently gaining immense credibility for being eco-compatible. Bioremediation using microbes has been well accepted as an environment friendly and economical treatment method for disposal of hazardous petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated waste (oily waste). Besides this, earthworms can be used to extract toxic heavy metals, including cadmium and lead, from solid waste from domestic refuse collection and waste from vegetable and flower markets. Other novel methods used recently for treatment of wastes are plasma incineration or plasma assisted gasification and pyrolysis technology. The technologies applied for conditioning include ultrasonic degradation, chemical degradation, enzyme addition, electro-coagulation and biological cell destruction. Genetic engineering is another method for improving bioremediation of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Transgenic plants and associated bacteria constitute a new generation of genetically modified organisms for bioremediation.

Abstract:
Concern for the environment is not an entirely new phenomenon. In isolated instances, environmental and wildlife protection laws have been enacted in the past. Similarly, astute early physicians and scientists occasionally recognized occupationally related health problems within the general population. As early as 500 BC, a law was passed in Athens requiring refuse disposal in a designated location outside the city walls. Ancient Rome had laws prohibiting disposal of trash into the river Tiber. In seventeenth century Sweden, legislation was passed forbidding ‘‘slash and burn’’ land clearing; those who broke the law were banished to the New World. Although no laws protecting workers from occupational hazards were enacted until much later, the first observation that occupational exposure could create health hazards was made in 1775 by a London physician, Percival Pott. He observed among London chimney sweeps an unusually high rate of scrotal cancer that he associated (and rightly so) with exposure to soot. Colonial authorities in Newport, Rhode Island, recognizing a danger of game depletion, established the first closed season on deer hunting as early as 1639. Other communities became aware of the same problem; by the time of the American Revolution, 12 colonies had legislated some kind of wildlife protection. Following the example of Massachusetts, which established a game agency in 1865, every state had game and fish protection laws before the end of the nineteenth century (1). In 1885, to protect the population from waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever, New York State enacted the Water Supply Source Protection Rules and Regulations Program. These instances of environmental concern were sporadic. It was not until some time after World War II that concern for the environment and for the effects of industrial development on human health became widespread. The industrial development of the late eighteenth century, which continued throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, converted the Western agricultural societies into industrialized societies. For the first time in human history, pervasive hunger in the western world ceased to be a problem. The living standard of the masses improved, and wealth was somewhat better distributed.

Abstract:
In response to government and public pressures, the healthcare industry has in the past few years directed a significant effort toward the proper and safe management of its medical waste streams. Medical waste is classified as a biohazardous waste, which according to a study published by the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (1990), may result in human infection and transfer of disease. This includes injury and infection with the Hepatitis B Virus (HVB) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), by janitorial and laundry workers, nurses, emergency medical personnel, and refuse workers who may come into contact with medical waste. In a recent survey conducted in the United States and Japan, and reported by the World Heath Organization (WHO) (1994), it was found that injuries by sharps constitute about 1% to 2% per annum for nurses and maintenance workers and 18% per annum for outside waste management workers. In Japan, the survey indicated that injuries by sharps constitute about 67% for in-hospital waste handlers and 44% for outside waste management workers. In order to reduce the risks associated with medical waste, proper management mechanisms should be adopted by healthcare facilities to protect the health of the staff within the medical facility, waste collectors/workers, and the public once the waste has left the facility for final disposal. These mechanisms include waste identification, segregation, storage, and treatment. However, and as a first step in the implementation of a waste management system, the management of a medical facility should conduct an audit of the generated waste streams.

Abstract:
The continuous rise in population, urbanization and expansion of cities has triggered a corresponding increase in construction and demolition activity. The frequent collapse of buildings attributed to poor structural design, building decay, and/or use of substandard materials has generated a substantial increase in construction refuse, also referred to as Construction and Demolition (C&amp;D) Waste. This waste stream originates from residential, commercial, agricultural, institutional and industrial building projects for new builds, reconstruction, expansion, and refurbishments/rehabilitation.
