Polymers are used worldwide for their unique properties such as a light weight or chemical resistance, but which have led to an environmental challenge because of the time they need completely decompose when buried in landfills. Complementarily, bitumen generates second biggest impact construction road. This paper analyses mechanical, and economic performance replacing 25% with two low-cost pla...

Medical waste classified as hazardous and toxic (B3). cannot be compared to household waste, its needs specific treatment. According several newspapers, there is a lot of medical which handling mixed with waste. In Surabaya, the number wastes in 2019 reached 8 tons per day, this certain increase exponentially current Covid19 pandemic. It important manage well Covid19. To support management Covi...

Abstract Most of the solid household waste generated in world is disposed by incineration. Wastes during incineration debris pose a danger to environment and must be of. Determining application areas incinerator slags an urgent research task. The article provides information on conditions volumes slag formation. It possible extract copper-containing material from gravitational enrichment. use c...

Currently, much of our biodegradable wastes such as kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes & animal wastes are used to produce Biogas, a powerful greenhouse gas. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a treatment that composts these wastes in the absence of oxygen, producing a biogas that can be used to generate Heat & Power. Producing renewable energy from our biodegradable wastes helps to tackle the energy...

The disposal of clinical wastes is often poorly conducted and inadequately supervised despite the publication of clear and definitive working guidelines and the introduction of increasingly stringent legislative control. The move away from landfill disposal of clinical wastes, and the further development of high temperature incinerators able to meet increasingly tight emission limits, is to be ...

Waste production in healthcare facilities in developing countries has brought about a variety of concerns due to the use of inappropriate methods of managing the wastes. Inappropriate treatment and final disposal of the wastes can lead to adverse impacts to public health, to occupational health and safety, and to the environment. Unfortunately, most economically developing countries suffer a va...

As the generation of industrial wastes increases, waste treatment is steadily becoming a serious economic and environmental issue. Existing waste has mainly been treated by landfilling after incineration. A shortage of landfill sites necessitates waste management alternatives other than traditional incineration and landfill. This paper focuses on a cost-benefit analysis that evaluates the econo...
