Assessment of the challenge of sustainable recycling of municipal solid waste management in India
Municipal solid waste management is one of the most serious and most neglected areas of urban development which create environmental hazards confronting municipalities. Qualitative analysis of municipal solid waste in India identified barriers or incentives for recycling, resulted in the development factors. The PSIR framework with sensitive analysis is approach towards the focus on sustainable ...

The potential of GHG emission savings for programmatic CDM by municipal solid waste composting in the Western Province - Sri Lanka
The Western Province (WP) of Sri Lanka, as the most populated province in the country is burdened with a high level of municipal solid waste generation. Out of the 48 administrative local authorities within the WP, only 16 local authorities are practicing municipal solid waste composting. All other local authorities are practicing the most common method of MSW disposal; open dumping. The study ...

The road from landfilling to recycling: common destination, different routes
There is an important body of EU policy on waste which influences policy actions in the Member States. Increasingly, policy makers — not least the European Parliament — and the public want to know the extent of this influence and its effects. For example, do policy actions in Member States deal effectively with the problems for which the EU policy was designed? If not, is this because the EU ...

Waste dynamics, decoupling and ex post policy effectiveness: evidence from the EU15
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of municipal and packaging waste generation dynamics, based on panel data for the EU15. The evidence provides some valuable policy implications since it analyses the extent to which decoupling has occurred for the two waste streams and if and how effectively EU waste policy has influenced the waste generation-income relationship since 1995. We ...

Gaseous emissions during concurrent combustion of biomass and non-recyclable municipal solid waste
Abstract Background: Biomass and municipal solid waste offer sustainable sources of energy; for example to meet heat and electricity demand in the form of combined cooling, heat and power. Combustion of biomass has a lesser impact than solid fossil fuels (e.g. coal) upon gas pollutant emissions, whilst energy recovery from municipal solid waste is a beneficial component of an integrated, ...

Waste management facility expansion planning using simulation–optimisation with grey programming and penalty functions
Simulation–Optimisation (SO) techniques, which incorporate inherent system uncertainties using probability distributions, have been used for optimal waste management planning. While SO can be applied to numerous stochastic problems, its solution times vary considerably from one implementation to the next. In this study, SO has been concurrently combined with both penalty functions and a Grey ...

Management of organic content in municipal solid waste - a case study of Lahore
Poor solid waste management (SWM) is one of the leading obstacles for absolute clean and healthy environment. Growing economy of Lahore has rapidly increased growth rate which in turn has flared solid waste generation. Municipal solid waste is contributing heavily to air, water and land pollution and a major portion of municipal waste is organic. Generally considered unfruitful, this organic ...

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in leachates from municipal landfills
The leachates from six municipal waste landfills, located in South-eastern Poland, were studied for the presence of major, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) – PAHs, Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs)/Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans (PCDFs), Polychlorinated Dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs) and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The measured concentrations varied with respect to the ...

Global warming potential of waste management options: case study of Delhi
Municipal solid waste in developing nations like India is an area of major concern. The concerns associated with waste management are not only public health and safety but also for sustainable development. Life cycle assessment (LCA) can be applied to assess the environmental sustainability of waste management systems. In the present study, global warming potential of various municipal waste ...

New guidelines for characterization of municipal solid waste: the Portuguese case
This report proposes a new set of guidelines for the characterization of municipal solid waste. It is based on an analysis of reference methodologies, used internationally, and a case study of Valorsul (a company that handles recovery and treatment of solid waste in the North Lisbon Metropolitan Area). In particular, the suggested guidelines present a new definition of the waste to be analysed, ...

French WWTP installs LIT open channel UV-system
Recently O.E.I. France, distributor of LIT for the French market, installed a LIT open channel UV system in the South of France close to the Mediterranean Sea. The system is placed in the municipal Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) of the village of Canet-en-Roussillon with 10.182 inhabitants. The capacity of the WWTP however is based on the summer season population of 66.000 inhabitants. The ...

Model comparison in simulating the atmospheric dispersion of a pollutant plume in low wind conditions
This study investigates the performance of different air pollution dispersion models in low wind conditions. The models have been applied to two sites frequently characterised by weak winds: the cities of Modena and Reggio Emilia, in the Po River Valley (Northern Italy). The emission sources are the municipal waste incinerator (Modena) and a turbogas plant (Reggio Emilia). Total Suspended ...
