The COVID-19 pandemic has altered all aspects of human life since its breakout in March 2020 the USA and around world. There been a tremendous increase use plastic products as most PPE (masks, gloves, other medical equipment) are made from plastic. Therefore, generation waste was expected to significantly, which also reported by many news agencies organizations. This study determines municipal ...

In developing countries, urbanization and rapid population growth has resulted in a substantial increase generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Safe collection, transportation treatment MSW are among the major issues for Indian cities. Poor management practices have negative impact on public health, environment climate change. India currently only treats 21% while remainder disposed unsanit...

Global generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is now ~1200 Tg/yr (1 Tg = 10 g), >70% of which is landfilled. Landfilling of waste contributes ~30-35 Tg methane (CH4 )annually to the world's total CH4 emission of ~550 Tg/yr. Recycling and thermal treatment of waste in wasteto-energy (WtE) facilities contribute equally to diverting MSW from the waste stream destined for landfills and to mitiga...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) management significantly contribute to high global warming potential (GWP). However, most studies have failed to facilitate identifying MSW management schemes capable of comprehensively meeting the goals from decision-makers at different hierarchical levels under uncertainties. This study develops an inexact bi-level linear program...

It might not appear at first that this paper has sig­ nificance in the field of Solid Waste Processing, since it applies to cleaning wash water from cleaning the fireside surfaces of utility boilers burning gas and oil. It is generally believed that systems which burn mu­ nicipal solid waste (MSW) do not require treatment of boiler wash water, since this can be used to quench the ash and thus b...
