Abstract:

The essentiality for waste reduction in society is prompted by the depletion of natural resources. Internationally, five waste management strategies have been identified, namely reduction of waste (waste prevention), re-use of waste, recycling of waste, recovery of energy and disposal to landfill. In Polokwane Declaration of September 2001, South Africa’s Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism committed itself to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the volume of waste generated by 2012 and to be landfilled and have a zero waste plan implemented by 2022.

Abstract:

Food waste has become a major concern around the world in recent years. Food waste is on the rise as the world's population grows. Despite the fact that various efforts have been made to reduce food waste, they have not been totally successful. Food waste is not only a loss for humanity, but it is also a loss for the environment, society, and economy. The majority of countries are attempting to manage, recycle, and repurpose food waste. A brief summary of waste reduction in agricultural methods, food processing, manufacturing, and retail distribution is provided in this context. Food waste gen

Abstract:

Environmental awareness and legislative pressures have made manufacturers responsible for the take-back and end-of-life treatment of their products. Therefore, manufacturers are struggling to find ways to recover maximum value from returned products. This goal can best be achieved by promoting multiple reuse programs as reuse is one of the most effective ways to enhance a sustainable engineering economy. Since the essential goal of the reuse strategy is to reuse parts, the reliability of used parts becomes a core issue. Research indicates that reuse is technologically feasible, associated with

Abstract:

Reuse and recycling of waste from construction and demolition (C&D) is problematic because the markets for secondary materials have not yet been fully integrated. Decisions regarding the reuse and recycling of building waste materials, however, are beneficial economically to the construction industry, in addition to having environmental and social responsibility outcomes. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the economic and environmental benefits of recycling and reuse of C&D waste. It explores how impact categories such as economic and environmental impact can be used to develop a decision-

<p dir="ltr">Plastic waste is a growing problem. Only 9% of the approximately 370 million tonnes of plastic waste generated each year is recycled, while 80% ends up in landfills and 11% is converted into energy. This harms the environment, as plastics take a long time to biodegrade. Pyrolysis is a promising technology for converting waste plastics into energy products such as liquid oil, gas, and char. It is a process which utilises heat to decompose materials at higher temperature and in absence of oxygen. The research aimed to use mixed waste plastics as a feedstock for pyrolysis to produce

Globally, food waste has become a central issue in the management of municipal solid wastes. The collection and disposal of food waste (FW)is exposing environmental resources (land, water, air) to pollution levels pressure of unprecedented scale. In Australia alone, FW costs the economy close to AU$20 billion annually, and in each household, between $2,200 and $3,800 worth of food is being discarded per year. In the domestic food supply chain, understanding households’ attitudes and their behaviours towards domestic food waste (DFW) is crucial to implement realistic prevention and/or reduction
