Bhopal is the capital and the second largest city of Madhya Pradesh. There is no arrangement for segregation of waste at source. It is a known fact that even elaborate Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) schemes also fail. Hence people in MS WM activity schemes should design appropriate MSWM plan, water and landfill gas monitoring system.

As traditional methods of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) become increasingly expensive due to increased regulation, many local governments are considering cooperation as a waste management strategy. A theoretical model of cooperation is developed in which cooperation decisions are made as part of a dynamic cooperation process where individual units use their own characteristics and cha...

Rapid economic growth and urbanization in developing countries lead to extensive construction activities that generate a large amount of waste. A challenge is how to manage construction waste in the most sustainable way. In the developing world, research on construction waste management is scarce and such academic knowledge needs to be responsive to actual practices in the industry in order to ...

In this paper, alternate schemes are examined and analysed aiming at the improvement of MSW management in small urban municipalities in Morocco. These schemes are estimated by developing and applying the PROMETHEE method consisting in a multi-criteria analysis of the parameters and the constraints bound to the financial, technical, environmental and social-institutional aspects. Thus, 10 altern...

BACKGROUND It is essential that the human race limits the environmental damage created by our consumption. A realistic pathway to limiting consumption would be to transition to a system where materials are conserved and cycled through the economy as many times as possible and as slowly as possible, greatly reducing the greenhouse gas intensive processes of resource extraction, resource processi...

Within the context of European Union (EU) energy policy and sustainibility in waste management, recent EU regulations demand energy efficient and environmentally sound disposal methods of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Currently, landfill with its many drawbacks is the preferred option in the EU and many other industrialised countries. Within the waste management hierarchy thermal disposal especi...

At international level LCA is being increasingly used to objectively evaluate the performances of different Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management solutions. One of the more important waste management options concerns MSW incineration. LCA is usually applied to existing incineration plants. In this study LCA methodology was applied to a new Italian incineration line, to facilitate the predictio...

Sustainable development has become a central element in the work of national and international companies. From this perspective the focus is more and more on protecting the environment and society. So, waste management is a sensitive area for organizations. The present paper presents the situation of municipal solid waste management (MSW) in Romania, relative to EU requirements. Optimization of...

Uncontrolled growth of the urban population in developing countries in recent years has made solid waste management an important issue. Today municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the most challenging issues in urban cities, which are facing a serious pollution problem due to the generation of huge quantities of solid waste. This results in development of environmentally sustainable...
