However, unavoidable waste can be made into useful products as well (Lewis et al. 2017). Thus, food waste can be viewed as a reflection on human behavior rather than food quality (Parfitt et al. 2010). In this manuscript, ‘food waste’ will be defined as “the difference between the ...
In the context of waste incineration, a hazard can be defined as a source of potential negative effects on the environment and of subsequent risks to human health or quality of life, directly or indirectly associated with past, current, or future exposure to plant emissions. ...
Recycled plastics, can be defined as the diverted waste originating from discarded plastic products, either finished or semi-finished, which can be utilized in the manufacture of a new or the same product [25]. There are two main methods by those plastics can be recycled: mechanical recycling ...
The method requires waste management activities to be defined as generic unit operations which are independent of the specific characteristics of the waste processed. These unit operations are used to flowsheet the specific system under study and burdens that are independent of the waste are identified...
(including the oxygenation of the atmosphere as a photosynthetic by-product1), inspired evolutionary transitions2,3, and constrained the ecological dynamics of all temporal and spatial scales. The balance and cycling of several key greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are largely defined as the ...
Defined medical waste and established which medical wastes would be subject to program regulations, • Established a cradle-to-grave tracking system using a generator-initiated tracking form, • Required management standards for segregation, packaging, labeling and marking, and storage of the medical...
In the case of waste categories, we also exclude those for which their codes do not coincide with the ones defined by the BaC, such as 11b, AN8, Y48. Waste types We consider 108 categories of wastes according to BaC classification, which are then grouped into seven types of waste ...

Within the context of this research, construction waste is defined as a material or product which needs “to be transported elsewhere from the construction site or used on the site itself other than the intended specific purpose of the project due to damage, excess or non-use, or which ...
Furthermore, the relationship between farmers’ domestic waste sorting behavior y and the unobservable latent variable \(y_i^ \ast\) observed through the sample is defined as follows: $$y = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {1,} &\qquad {{{\mathrm{y}}} \ast \le \gamma _1} ...
