This thesis analyses the current solid waste management situation in Canada to determine the most effective methods of managing solid waste. To arrive at best practices for sustainable waste management, the relationships between waste composition, diversion efforts, management methods and landfill ...
With this overall goal, this paper seeks to (i) evaluate the MSW generation, characterization and composition in China; (ii) discuss the relationships between various characteristics and the composition; and (iii) discuss the treatment technologies of MSW in China. 2 Methods A standard literature ...

Historically, waste composition studies have been used for planning waste management facilities and tracking changes in the mass of different components of the waste stream. Sorting samples selected from truck load quantities of waste is usually sufficient for these purposes. Recently, the development of...
Thus, the composition of MSW is heterogeneous. The general overview of this MSW composition, including waste that has been newly added during the COVID-19 pandemic, is presented in Table 1. The composition of MSW generated from different sources has remained similar during the pandemic. However,...
