Drainage and liquid collection systems are components of fundamental importance in landfills and waste disposal areas. Sand, gravels and geosynthetics are materials commonly used as filters and draining media in landfill drainage systems. However, the waste itself contains elements that could be employed as drainage material. This paper presents an …

The German Biomass Regulation (§2 and §3) allows the use of bio and green waste for energy recovery, including electricity generation. This implies governmental support for energy recovery of this waste. The sponsored amount – calculated through the calorific value – ranges between 85 and 160 €/t. The aim of …

This paper investigates the effects of local socio-economic factors on the adoption of various waste management technologies in the Philippines and Vietnam. Three sets of factors have been selected. The first set of factors includes the economic situation of the community: income, unemployment, and the housing density. The second set …

The present study is concerned with the economic and environmental evaluation of landfill gas exploitation system in reference to an existing study case landfill, located in Tuscany Region (Italy). Landfill gas production, during the different life phases of the study case landfill, has been predicted according to a mathematical model, …

The mechanical-biological pre-treatment of wastes has far-reaching effects on the construction and operation of landfills. The emplacement and storage behaviour of the mechanical-biological pre-treated waste (MBW) in the landfill will fundamentally different itself in many areas from the experiences which have been gained in the past with the operation of …

The findings of on-going research conducted within South Africa on waste policy instruments shows that while typical command-and-control instruments lack effective monitoring and enforcement, alternative policy instruments such as economic or information based strategies, are either slow to find favour or fail soon after implementation. Developing countries, such as South …
