the main problem of solid waste management system in tehran is to handle a large amount of waste (7.641 ton/day in 2008). therefore, source reduction can be introduced as one of the first priority for solid waste management in tehran. this research represents the first attempt to quantify the source reduction potential in the city, and subsequently, outlines the principle guidelines, legislatio...

This study develops a sustainability assessment model for analysis and decision-making of the impact of China’s municipal solid waste management enhancement strategy options based on three waste treatment scenarios: landfill disposal, waste-to-energy incineration, and a combination of a material recovery facility and composting. The model employs life cycle assessment, health risk assessment, a...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

An engineering evaluation was conducted to select an optimum waste management system for collection, storage, and/or disposal of feces and ur'ine in a space station under weightless conditions.^ Based on this study, a detailed design of an optimum waste manage^) ment system was prepared for a 7-man, 15-day mission. Tests perfomed on a breadboard model of the feces collector demonstrated the fea...

EUG ENE is a sophisticated mixed integer linear programming model developed to help regional decision makers on long-term planning for solid waste management activities. The model removes almost every limitations encountered in other waste management models and contains a large quantity of variables and constraints. The method used to embed waste management environmental parameters in the EUG E...

Solid waste is a serious and growing problem thoughout tropical Asia. Waste management technologies and policies have not kept pace with the increase in waste production. The island of Bali in Indonesia is an atypical case in which both production and awareness of waste are relatively advanced. As such it is a useful case for exploring the wider problem and possible solutions. This article revi...
