Abstract:
  Urban waste generation due to economic development and living standards raise serious problems in providing sustainable waste management of cities. Because not all of Romania's urban population are served by sanitation services, some wastes are generated and uncollected being often uncontrolled disposed contributing to urban pollution. This paper aims on the one hand one to estimate the amount of urban waste generated and uncollected and on the other hand to perform a spatial analysis of these wastes at the Romanian counties level using thematic cartography.

Municipal solid waste generation in Babylon Governorate is often affected by changes in lifestyles, population growth, social and cultural habits and improved economic conditions. This effect will make it difficult to plan and draw up future plans for solid waste management.
 In this study, municipal solid waste was divided into residential and commercial solid wastes. Residential solid wastes were represented by household wastes, while commercial solid wastes included commercial, institutional and municipal services wastes.

Effective waste management is a critical global concern, especially in urban areas where efficient systems are essential for reducing litter, minimizing environmental contamination, and enhancing urban aesthetics. This study presents a comprehensive framework for optimizing waste management in Kathmandu Municipality, focusing on the spatial allocation of collection points, bin requirements, and predictive waste level modeling. This approach is based on the primary parameters of the rate at which waste is generated, the capacity of a bin, the density of waste, and the frequency of collection. T

Abstract:
With the vast increase in global e-waste, e-waste management is becoming increasingly critical. China produces a large amount of e-waste every year, but the recycling rate is minimal. To avoid causing severe environmental pollution and affecting human health, the Chinese government has focused on recycling e-wastes. E-waste contains precious metals and critical minerals, which are misplaced resources and have recycling value. We combined the incentive system with the smart e-waste collecting system and constructed a set of incentive measures suitable for China’s smart e-waste collection system

Circular economy, from sustainability point of view, seeks to design replicable models for the recycling and reuse of waste, to avoid loss of resources. In agricultural sector, a model for crop waste collection could lead to reaching a superior level of efficiency of natural resources management. Rapid economic growth has led to an increase in agricultural waste quantities in Albanian regions (Tirana, Durrës, Elbasan, Berat, Shkodra and Vlorë), necessitating an integrated approach to crop wastes (corn stalks, sugarcane bagasse, drops and culls from fruits and vegetables, prunings), rather than

Therefore, developing a predictive model for waste generation has always been challenging.

Abstract. Solid waste threatens the ecosystem and human health, it may be a great economic wealth that could generate millions if it was properly exploited and recycled again. The per capita production rate of solid waste in Saudi Arabia is one of the highest rates in the world. According to Saudi Vision 2030, a plan has been developed to build waste recycling companies in all the cities of Saudi Arabia. The total amount of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) in Riyadh is estimated at 10,000 tons per day. The average amount of solid waste per capita per day is estimated at 1.80 kg. The study has two p

Abstract:
This document is a collection of available data on solid waste management in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The following bullet points contain a brief description of the most relevant data: The regional average per capita generation of Domestic Solid Waste (DSW) and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is 0.6 kg/cap/day and 0.9 kg/cap/day, respectively. DSW represents, on average, 67% of the MSW generated in the region. The MSW regional average collection rate is 89.9% (as a percentage of the population). Compared with a worldwide average of 73.6%, LAC has a high level of coverage, reflecting

Abstract:
The project was originally aimed at investigating and developing new efficient methods for cost effective removal of ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO), in particular broiler and laying houses (NH₃) and hog houses (H₂S). In both cases, the principal idea was to design and operate a dedicated air collection system that would be used for the treatment of the gases, and that would work independently from the general ventilation system. The advantages envisaged: (1) if collected at a point close to the source of generation, pollutants would

Abstract:
Climate change is intensifying, yet fossil fuel use and emissions are still reaching new heights. Species are going extinct at unprecedented rates, yet we continue to destroy ecosystems. More than two billion tonnes of household waste are produced each year and cause harm globally, yet the amount is projected to double by 2050. Scientists have also told us what needs to change: Stop using fossil fuels. Protect and restore ecosystems. Live sustainably. Nevertheless, we are making fairly little progress towards such goals. This begs the question, if we know what we need to do, why aren’t we doin
