With the aim of reducing Greenhouse gases emissions and in general environmental impact of landfills, scientific research has been concentrated, since several years, on monitoring and control of non-collected emissions of landfill gas, since these are the main responsible for the landfill environmental load. With reference to these issues, the …

There are very few construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling centres in Brazil. Data relating to C&D waste management and recycling in Brazil were collected and analysed to encourage the building and operation of new units. Based on the results of this analysis, a conceptual model was proposed to perform …

As an important parameter for estimation of methane generation from landfills, we measured ultimate methane yields (M0 VS) of various municipal solid waste (MSW) components, which were obtained by classifying bulk waste carried into S landfill in Korea. Food wastes exhibited the highest M0 VS of 420mL CH4/g VS. Misc. …

The objective of the present work is to present a physical characterization of the polymeric wastes conducted in the conventional collection of the municipality of São Carlos, SP. The method adopted for physical characterization was by sampling, where the number of samples involved all of the sections, with the weight …

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 …

The paper is concerned with the anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater treatment plant sludge and organic waste coming from the fresh food department of a large market store where a source separated collection system is installed. In particular the study is aimed to verify – by means of pilot plant operation …

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 …
