  5. Solid waste management: Scope and the challenge of sustainability

    Solid waste management (SWM) is an integral part of an environmental management system.SWM approaches have been modified into a more practical and effective option to establish sustainability based on the "reduce", "reuse", and "recycle" (3R) principles. This review provides an overview of a wide range of existing SWM strategies with the following key objectives: (i) to ...

  6. Sustainable Solid Waste Management: A Critical Review

    The chapter provides an overview of sustainable solid waste management (SSWM). In order to understand SSWM, the definitions of solid wastes (SWs) are reviewed and gaps are identified. From the identified gaps, a new definition of plastic solid wastes (PSWs) is developed. Sustainable ways of managing PSWs are discussed and the 3Rs initiatives ...

  7. Behavioral aspects of solid waste management: A systematic review

    Over the past three decades, research on the established linkages between solid waste management and psychological models has progressed rapidly. This informs statutory bodies that wish to design an effective solid waste management system. To further address this crucial task, this paper examined the existing literature on behavioral approaches ...

  8. Assessment methods for solid waste management: A literature review

    Based on the results of this review, we recommend the following considerations when assessing waste management systems: (i) a mass balance approach based on a rigid input-output analysis of the entire system, (ii) a goal-oriented evaluation of the results of the mass balance, which takes into account the intended waste management objectives ...

  9. Behavioral aspects of solid waste management: A systematic review

    To further address this crucial task, this paper examined the existing literature on behavioral approaches applied to the study of solid waste. Through a systematic literature review approach, we identified, analyzed, and synthesized available literature across various geographical regions.

  10. A systematic review of life cycle assessment of solid waste management

    The issue of solid waste management (SWM) has received considerable critical attention worldwide. 2.01 billion tons of solid waste were generated annually from global metropolitans in 2016; the World Bank Organization pointed out that annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% to 3.4 billion tons in 2050 (Kaza et al., 2018).

  11. Municipal solid waste: Review of best practices in application of life

    In waste management systems, it is illogical and out of scope to account for the life cycle of each waste item in the stream, so the waste entering the system as input is considered to have 'zero burden', as summarized by Gentil et al. (2010). The cradle of waste items is viewed as the point at which an item is conceived as valueless and is ...

  13. Assessment methods for solid waste management: A literature review

    In assessments of waste management, life-cycle assessment (LCA) helps expanding the perspective beyond the waste management system itself. However, the applicability of LCA for waste management planning and policy-making is restricted by certain limitations, some of which are characteristics inherent to LCA methodology as such, and some of which are relevant specifically in the context of ...

  14. Assessment methods for solid waste management: A literature review

    Assessment methods are common tools to support decisions regarding waste management. The objective of this review article is to provide guidance for the selection of appropriate evaluation methods. For this purpose, frequently used assessment methods are reviewed, categorised, and summarised. In total, 151 studies have been considered in view ...

  15. Solid Waste Management Models: Literature Review

    Solid Waste Management Models: Literature Review Abstract: Waste has always been a serious problem, not only to the environment but also to the economic and social aspect. Solid waste management models are created to solve waste problems in different aspects and areas. Many models were made to tackle waste problems in cities or metropolitan areas.

  16. Systematic literature review of deep learning models in solid waste

    The study performs a systematic literature review which has complied 25 studies, published between 2019 and 2021 in.reputed journals and conferences.

  20. Colloid stable sorbents for cesium removal: Preparation ...

    While high sorption capacity for solid materials used in column application is desirable to provide long operation time of the filter and reduce the volume of solid wastes formed, colloid stable sorbents can have significant advantages in treatment of low activity LRW, which contain 10-100 ppm of cesium [1], and can also be used for soils and ...

  21. Sintering mechanism for high-density NZP ceramics

    The sintering of NaZr 2 (PO 4) 3 containing ZnO microadditives is shown to follow a liquid-phase mechanism.
