Our latest report recommends the radical overhaul of the UK's waste system to reduce the cost on households, improve recycling rates, increase local authority efficiency and expand the proportion of the UK's energy needs met through waste. A Wasted Opportunity notes that Britain still sends more than half its ...
This report argues that recycling concrete reduces natural resource exploitation and waste going to landfill. It asks for an ultimate goal of ?zero landfill? of ...
As technology and production escalate, the scourge of landfillwaste increasingly threatens the environment. This book examines the evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover, a new and innovative remedy for landfillwaste. Offering a solution to conventional landfill, which utilize barriers to the ...
Complaints due to odour annoyance have become a major issue for wastewater treatment plant, waste management, landfill, intensive livestock and other industrial operators as the repeated release of unpleasant odorous emissions can constitute a nuisance to a local population. Traditionally, odour management has ...
The use of plastic materials has seen a massive increase in recent years, and generation of plastic wastes has grown proportionately. Recycling of these wastes to reduce landfill disposal is problematic due to the wide variation in properties and chemical composition among the different types of plastics. ...
Available as eBook only According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA, 2011), over 34 million tons of food waste are generated annually in the United States. The agency further reports that almost all of this waste is landfilled. Based on these estimates, food waste is the second ...
"Advances in Environmental Geotechnics" presents the latest developments in this interdisciplinary field. The topics covered include basic and advanced theories for modeling of geoenvironmental phenomena, testing and monitoring for geoenvironmental engineering, municipal solid wastes and landfill engineering, ...
A NEW SWANA Publication! This 55-page guide presents up-to-date information that can be used by solid waste managers to address the management, as well as technical issues, associated with the implementation of this new disposal technology. Topics covered include: Bioreactor Landfill Technology Status ...
The environment around the Laurentian Great Lakes region has been adversely affected by agricultural runoff, urban waste, industrial discharge, landfill leachate, and atmospheric deposition. Although there have been some improvements over the last 20 years, persistent toxic organic pollutants are now a serious ...
This joint event combined sessions for landfill issues with onces concerning the management of solid waste. Some areas covered are: Hot topics in solid waste management; Geosynthetics in landfill design; Public/private partnerships; Leachate characterization, management & treatment; Regulations, ...
From the Center for Environmental Research Information, for the U.S. EPA, this seminar publication summarizes the complexities of the landfill, from choosing the site to site closure. ...
Landfill disposal of MSW remains the major disposal option for many established solid waste programs. With state-of-the-art landfill construction, leachate management and landfill collection, landfills are becoming increasingly technical. Covered in this study: Waste Stabilization/Leacharte ...
Twenty-four papers examine the following subjects: thermal treatment; hazard degrees, health effects, and risk assessment; waste characterization; extraction of extracts and leachates; landfill/land farm simulation; and sampling of residues and ...
Topics covered at the 40th Annual Solid Waste Exposition include: Buying Recycled; Collection; Communications Education & Marketing; Contracting for Solid Waste Services; Emerging Legal Trends in Waste Management; International MSW Practice and Solutions; Landfill Gas Control; Landfill Gas Utilization; ...
Today’s engineering and geoscience student needs to know more than how to design a new or remedial project or facility. Questions of law and ambiguities of terms often occur in contracts for mining, landfills, site reclamation, waste depositories, clean up sites, land leases, operating agreements, joint ...
Non-hazardous waste materials and by-products which are mostly landfilled, can be used in making concrete and similar construction materials. This book gives an summary of this usage: one chapter is devoted to each material, comprising an introduction, chemical and physical properties, usage potential, and the ...
