Thus, it is necessary to turn the waste textile into the smaller, more even waste through the process of fine shredding. ...
Impact and benefits of glass recycling Glass recycling is essential for sustainable waste management in Europe. However, in countries where separate collection is not well established, glass often ends up in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). ...
The recent publication More Growth, Less Garbage (1) updates the data of the study What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 (2), developed by the World Bank, which globally aggregates municipal solid waste national data, reporting estimated ...
For effective control of emissions, it is necessary to have full information about the mercury content of the feedstock, flue gas, bottom ash and other liquid and solid wastes. Obtaining these data is a challenging analytical task, because the mercury content of coal and its combustion products can vary within wide limits. ...
Manage sampling work flow from end to end. Share data across disparate programs, agencies, and media. Analyze and visualize using a common set of built-in tools and extensions. Build additional custom tools within EQuIS or against related data systems. Contributors Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Ambient Monitoring Surface Water ...
The paper proposes two predictive models for water consumption and solid waste generation based on socioeconomic variables. These models were developed based on socioeconomic, water consumption and solid waste generation data from Belo Horizonte and validated for the city of Porto Alegre, confirming the ...
This study illustrates the application of Premium Solver Platform software to optimise tours for the collection of municipal solid waste. Data required for optimisation was obtained from the municipal solid waste management authority, field studies and digitised map of a study area. ...
This study developed a logistic regression model to identify and analyse the factors that could affect environmental behaviour of the urban poor concerning solid waste management. The study analysed primary data collected from the level of living conditions of the urban poor residing in the squatters and low-cost flats of Kuala Lumpur city, ...
ABSTRACTAlthough there are a myriad of sources of municipal solid waste (MSW) data in the United States, much of thesedata are not transparent and are also extremely difficult to find. ...
Variations in solid waste composition data are necessary as inputs to solid waste planning, yet uncertainty exists regarding which probability distributions might be generally valuable to describe the variability. Twenty-two detailed analyses of solid waste from British Columbia, ...
Industrial Solid Waste (ISW) abatement is attracting wide attention, with its generation increasing rapidly in China. In this paper, we calculate the ISW rational abatement ratio (IRAR) of 30 regions in China from 1990 to 2005, by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Results show that, the Eastern, Central and Western areas have the lowest, ...
A regression equation is proposed to predict the Higher Heating Value (HHV) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from the waste data of 86 cities of 35 countries. A mathematical model is developed, by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-10.0), to correlate the energy content of waste with the variables ...
Economic activity uses resources, which leads to waste generation. With rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, per capita solid waste generation has increased considerably. Solid waste generation data for last two decades shows an alarming increase. ...
