The International Conference on Solid Waste Technology and Management is an annual conference where researchers, educators, government officials, consultants, managers and community leaders, typically from more than 40 countries, meet to present and discuss the latest research related to all aspects of solid waste technology and management.
Technology is not a panacea and is usually only one factor to consider when managing solid waste. Countries that advance from open dumping and other rudimentary waste management methods are more likely to succeed when they select locally appropriate solutions. Globally, most waste is currently dumped or disposed of in some form of a landfill.
The effective treatment of waste to be used as a resource in future has a major role in achieving environmental sustainability and moving towards circular economy. The current research is aimed to provide in-depth detail regarding prominent trends and research themes, evolution, future research orientation, main characteristics, and
In China, environmental pollution due to municipal solid waste (MSW) over-generation is one of the country''s priority concerns. The increasing volume and complexity of the waste poses serious risks to the environment and public health. Currently, the annual growth of MSW generation is estimated to be approximately 8–10% and will
Solid waste management is directly or indirectly influenced by the government policies and the development of economics and technology. This research analyzed the statistics of domestic waste, industrial solid waste, and hazardous waste in China from 2004 to 2019, to find out the factors affecting solid waste management in
Solid Waste Technology & Management is a balanced and detailed account of all aspects of municipal solid waste management, treatment and disposal,
Some even involve changing the way we look at waste itself. The most crucial step in reducing the amount of waste we produce is taking action at the local level. That means implementing a solid waste management system that uses the best technology for collecting and disposing of trash. Smart cities are leading the way.
5. Solar-powered trash compactors. Ecube Labs has developed an innovative waste management solution that harnesses solar energy to compact trash and reduce the need for frequent emptying. The solar-powered compactors can hold five times more waste than non-compacting bins, reducing collection frequency by up to 80%.
The use of digital technologies for efficient waste management is feasible and enables the development of ''Pay-As-You-Throw'' systems, ''Know-As-You-Throw'' (KAYT) schemes, and the use of ''Radio
Upon completion of the Certificate program, students are able to: Identify and discuss the sources of solid waste and its treatment technology. Describe the solid waste stream and the treatment processes and process control strategies. Use basic mathematical operations to solve entry level solid waste calculations and measurements.
Solid Waste Technology & Management is an international reference book on solid waste. The book holds 11 chapters written by 78 experts from around the world. The need for a new book on solid waste with a broad coverage of all aspects has long been recognized by many professors and professionals.
The increasing volume and complexity of waste associated with the modern economy is posing a serious risk to ecosystems and human health. Every year, an estimated 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste is collected worldwide and decay of the organic proportion of solid waste is contributing about 5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every year,
