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 …

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 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 …

Compost application to agricultural land needs to ensure sustainable development. Hence it is important to determine the fertilizer value and soil conditioning ability of composts, and further to assess the risk of adverse environmental effects, such as excessive nitrate leaching. A lysimeter study was undertaken on poor quality sand to …
