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 proposed
study is concerned with the management of two non-hazardous waste landfills, located in
Tuscany Region (Italy). The study, which is part of a lager project aimed to manage and optimise
the energy recovery potential carried by the landfill gas coming from waste biodegradation, is
concerned, in this first phase, with the estimation of landfill gas emissions from landfill covers,
the analysis of the collection system efficiency, and the research of a spatial correlation between
emissive areas and the type of landfill covers in order to optimise the possible interventions onsite.

Egypt reviews Red Sea waste management system – Dailynewsegypt
Egypt’s Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Awad, and Red Sea Governor Walid El-Barqi held an extensive meeting to review the performance of the governorate’s waste management system and discuss measures to improve environmental services and operational efficiency. The meeting, held during Awad’s visit to the Red Sea Governorate to mark World Environment Day, focused on assessing current challenges facing waste collection, sorting, recycling and disposal operations, as well as identifying priority actions to strengthen the system’s performance. Awad stressed that the government places significant importance on developing an integrated waste management system in the Red Sea Governorate, given its strategic importance as one of Egypt’s leading tourism destinations. She emphasized the need to comply with environmental and technical standards governing sanitary landfills, waste treatment facilities and environmentally sound disposal practices. During the meeting, officials reviewed the current status of waste management operations in Hurghada, including collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and final disposal activities. Discussions also covered the infrastructure upgrades required to improve system efficiency and ensure the proper operation of sanitary landfill facilities. Yasser Abdullah, head of Egypt’s Waste Management Regulatory Authority, presented updates on temporary waste collection and sorting sites and outlined measures to strengthen operational management and oversight. He highlighted the importance of improving monitoring mechanisms for waste handling activities and maximizing the recovery of recyclable materials while reducing informal and unregulated practices.
