Waste management is an essential societal issue, and the classical manual waste auditing methods are hazardous time-consuming. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for detection classification to address challenges of management. The uses collection deep neural networks allow accurate detection, classification, size quantification. trained network model integrated into mobile-based applic...

At present, the per capita generation of solid waste in Malaysia varies from 0.45 to 2kg/day depending on the economic status of an area. In general, the per capita generation rate is about 1kg/day. Even though 17,000 tonnes/day of solid waste is being generated, only 5% is being recycled. If this particular scenario continues without appropriate mitigation, Malaysia will be facing a serious pr...

The EU advocates a household waste recycling rate of more than 70%. Although the Netherlands already years ago invested in recycling policies heavily, this is still a large challenge as nowadays on average this rate is approximately 50% and nearly no municipalities have a rate above 70%. Given the experience, it is possible to learn from the Dutch experience which policies are effective in incr...

The objective of this paper is to review previously published models of municipal solid waste generation and to propose an implementation guideline which will provide a compromise between information gain and cost-efficient model development. The 45 modelling approaches identified in a systematic literature review aim at explaining or estimating the present or future waste generation using econ...

The separation of pure polyolefins, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), from post-consumer plastic waste is of increasing interest in the last years according to market requirements for their further recycling. In this paper new analytical inspection strategies, based on HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) in the VIS-NIR and NIR fields (400-1000 and 1000-1700 nm, respectively), have been investig...

membrane assisted liquid extraction(male) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. the present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...
