DetailsThe specific presence of glass, metals and plastics, makes it difficult to efficiently utilize the biodegradable fractions of this waste. Strategies such as anaerobic digestion and thermal gasification often require the fractionation of urban solid waste which results in the possible loss of biodegradable material while removing the inorganic matter.
DetailsSolid Waste Management Practices in the Global South. Global municipal solid waste (MSW) generation rose from 1.3 billion tons in 2012 to 2.1 billion tons (0.74 kg/capita/day) as of 2016, which by 2050 is expected to increase by 70% to reach a total of 3.40 billion tons or 1.42 kg/capita/day [ 19 ].
DetailsThe modern solid waste management practices advocate material recycling, reduction, stabilization of solid waste prior to landfill disposal and energy recovery (Ionescu et al., 2015; Bong et al., 2017). However, these practices require proper certifications from government and may differ in developing and developed nations, rural …
DetailsHowever, as the biodegradation process of plastics is expected to occur along with the management of urban solid waste, different factors need to be taken into account. The first one is the specific environment in which biodegradation would take place, which could include any valid end-of-life option with a high concentration of …
DetailsPlastics established as an inevitable material in this modern era due to its easy production, processing, cheaper cost and easy use. High demand for plastics leads to tremendous increase in global production over the years. Overproduction of plastics leads to many harmful effects such as waste accumulation in landfill, serious air and water …
DetailsInadequate organic waste management leads to a plethora of problems such as environmental pollution, eutrophication, esthetic damage to urban landscape, greenhouse gases emission and effects on human health. Unwise and non-scientific disposal of wastes not only poses a grave threat to environmental quality but also results …
DetailsIn general, the traditional solid waste management (SWM) approach taken by municipal authorities for waste collection in urban areas must be enhanced to achieve the green and smart city goals.
Details2. Mechanisms of biodegradation. Cellulose, lignocellulose and lignin are major sources of plant biomass and are polymeric substances; therefore, their recycling is indispensable for the carbon cycle [].Each of these polymer is degraded by a variety of microorganisms which produce scores of enzymes that work in tandem.
DetailsLand application of urban/municipal solid waste (MSW) can be carried out as it is rich in organic matter and contains significant amount of recyclable plant nutrients. The presence of heavy metals and different toxics substances restricts its land use without processing. Vermicomposting of MSW, prior to land application may be a sustainable ...
DetailsThese synthetic plastic polymers are identified as the major urban solid waste that becomes environmental pollutants throughout the globe and ... Algal biodegradation is an arising biodegradation or up-recycling technique that is considered to be a better method than bacterial or fungi degradation method this is due to the non …
DetailsThe non-biodegradable fraction of solid waste could be used for construction and pavement processes. Overall the study emphasizes the paradigm shift of solid waste management concepts from linear economy to a circular economy following the "Zero Waste" concept. The study also explains the circular economy policies practiced …
DetailsRate of biodegradation of a horticultural pot. While recycling is one solution to divert waste from landfills and reduce the production of materials, only 9 percent of plastics made since …
DetailsSolid waste reforms and informal recycling in Enugu urban area, Nigeria ... The findings revealed that 41% of waste materials generated by the informal sector are biodegradable and include polythene bags, …
DetailsThe additives used in solid urban waste composting such as cow dung and green manure recorded organic carbon content of 25.60 and 34.60 and C:N ratio of 30.11 and 11.23. Conclusion: The results of the study clearly indicate that the recycling of solid urban waste can transform garbage or municipal solid waste to enriched composts. This is ...
