The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) wreaked havoc all across the world, claiming numerous casualties. Managing pandemic has resulted in production an unprecedented volume biomedical waste (BMW), form used personal protective equipment (PPE), diagnostic items, etc. It is a matter utmost urgency that this BMW treated, using newer and environmentally sustainable methods as compared...

The management of plastic packaging waste is advancing quickly, and new strategies are being implemented worldwide for better resource recovery. To assess the environmental benefits ways handling waste, we need to first evaluate current options in order create a basis comparison. In this study, impacts assessed time Iceland using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. results show that mechan...

This study analyzes the sustainability of circular economy model on winter road maintenance. Winter maintenance involves plowing snow, spreading abrasives, and then sweeping collecting remaining abrasives at end season. Traditionally, in linear approach, collected sweepings are landfilled, which incurs landfilling costs for resources that could be reused. To address this issue, we consider opti...

Solid waste generation can increase due to people's activities that compared the early pandemic in 2020. The solid management paradigm is no longer focused on landfilling landfills. reduction extend landfill's lifetime, one of activity facilities Material Recovery Facilities (MRF). Surabaya, capital city East Java Province Indonesia, has several MRF. One them Tambak Osowilangon . This study aim...

Korea consumes a large amount of energy. is vulnerable to energy security due its high dependence on imports. The waste generated in South increasing every year. Recycling accounted for the highest proportion disposal methods at 86.6%, but this was calculated based brought into recycling facilities. In fact, amounts are landfilled or incinerated. Landfilling and incineration causes various envi...

Advanced plastic waste recycling via pyrolysis and subsequent steam cracking of oils has the potential to partly close cycle between petrochemical production plastics current end-of-life management (i.e., downcycling, incineration, landfilling). However, greatest obstacle is complex composition real their contamination with numerous additives residues. Consequently, lower quality products compa...

anaerobic digestion is the breakdown of biodegradable organic material by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen or in an oxygen-starved environment.this technology is superior to the landfilling and also the aerobic composting. the aim of the present study was to examine whether the effluent volatile fatty acids from the anaerobic acidogenesis of the food waste can be used du to its high valu...

Biomedical waste management is an important part of traditional and modern health care systems. This paper focuses on the identification classification biomedical in Ayurvedic hospitals. The terms ‘biomedical management’, ‘health management’ alone combined with ‘Ayurveda’ or ‘Ayurvedic’ current practices recent advances treatment these used conditions. We have made a concerted effort to classif...

Environmental impacts of electricity production through nonrenewable sources are greatly reduced by solar energy PV cells. The use as an alternative to conventional methods is about increase tenfold the year 2050. This considerably increases number cell wastes for which recycling processes confronted with various issues due presence hazardous materials like Al, lead, chromium, glass, silver, an...

Plastic is an important commodity that used in several sectors. However, plastic waste generation a pressing issue and needs attention as it risks the environment. While methods such landfilling, incineration recycling are known for handling waste, they have their own limitations like of secondary pollutants low quality recycled plastic. In this scenario, new technologies efficiently need hour ...
