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 …

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 …

A Study on hierarchical framing and standardization of leaching tests for recycled products are in progress under a research project “Studies on methodology to set environmental safety quality level based on standardization of the testing system for secondary recycled products”. The aim is focused on the risks for soil and …

This paper presents the outline of a demonstration project that aims to develop a safe and sustainable system for the management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Bangladesh through the practical application of ‘WasteSafe Approach’. Khulna, the third largest city of Bangladesh and situated at the Southwest region of the …

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 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 …

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. …

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 …
