Waste management is a multidisciplinary subject. All human activities produce waste, hazardous or nonhazardous. In the waste hierarchy set by the European Union Waste Framework Directive (2008), the following order is prioritized for any waste unit: reduce–reuse–recycle–recover–landfill. This mean...
刊名:Waste Management 2015年第5期 摘要:European nations are compelled to reduce reliance on landfill as a destination for household waste, and should, in principle, achieve this goal with due recognition of the aims and principles of the waste hierarchy. Past research has predominantly focused on...
The increasing population and industrial developments driven by growing needs and expectations have led to an increase in consumption. The rise in consumption, in turn, results in more waste generation. The management of waste has become a global issue c
The mitigation scenarios assume that it will be possible to globally adopt circular MSW management systems according to the EU’s waste management hierarchy (Directive 2008/98/EC)6. The ability to implement circular MSW systems is consistent with the SSPs narratives, in which mitigation and ...
The numbered nodes represent the modelling steps. First, an dynamic material flow framework is built to predict the waste generation (steps 1–5). Second, process-level life cycle assessment is applied to evaluate the environmental and cost impacts of blade waste management (steps 6–9). Finally...
1.3.1.2Sustainable waste management strategy toward zero waste The integrated sustainable waste management system has a hierarchy of strategies, such as reduce, reuse, recycle, compost, and decompose. For C&D waste management; the best approach is to reduce waste generation and separate waste materials...
When considering methods for diverting waste, keep in mind the waste hierarchy outlined by the EPA. The hierarchy ranks the various waste management strategies from most to least environmentally preferred: Prevent Reuse Recycle Energy Recovery Disposal Why Focus on Waste? In short, it can lead to ...
Sustainable Solid Waste Collection and Management || Prevention and Reuse: Waste Hierarchy Steps Before Waste CollectionThe way how policy instruments and actions can impose measures before products became waste depends on policies based on the waste prevention, reduction, and reuse. A brief review on...
Although this has a higher priority in the waste treatment hierarchy, these exports can lead to improper recycling in the destination countries. This is estimated to be about 10 per cent of the e-waste generated in Austria and the Netherlands and about 5 per cent of the e-waste generated ...
A policy document was published [2] which introduced the principles of the waste management hierarchy [3] along with two definitions of very low-level waste (VLLW) types; low volume and high volume VLLW, into the management of radioactive waste. The introduction of this policy facilitated ...
