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, …

Despite the fact that Mexico has taken greater steps into improving its waste management, many of its smaller communities still face severe challenges associated with the collection and disposal of waste. In the state of Morelos, the number of problems related to waste is increasing as the population’s density and …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …
