The aim is to reduce both the hospital's ...
plastic has also come to occupy a central role within a culture of waste and disposable living that constitutes a significant problem for health and the natural environment. Public awareness of the harms asociated with plastic is high, thanks, in part, to a range of sustained media exposure...
Unlike other materials, metals have virtually infinity lifespan and limitless recyclability [2]. Hence, recycling metals (and other materials) can provide numerous to not only environment advantages in terms of energy saving, reduction of waste and emissions but also economic benefits. For example, ...
Pozzolanic reactivity and filler effects are the two most important roles of the WG particle packing density and porosity reduction of cement concrete. The density of concrete varies according to the fineness, amount, and type of WG. Figure 8a shows a significant increase in concrete density with...
Some advantages of using GCLs include rapid installation, requiring less skilled labour, the ability to withstand significant differential settlement, ease of repair, effective gas barrier properties and reduction in overburden stress on compressible MSW layers [68]. However, GCLs can fail in ...
[16]. Particle sizes ranging from 5 mm to 20 mm and a fixed bed reactor were utilized in their investigation. Their findings revealed that a decrease in particle size led to an increase in syngas yield, together with a reduction in the amount of bio-oil and biochar produced, as well as...
Reduction in consumption, reuse/recycling, and energy recovery are all strategies for solving the WT problem. The primary reason for developing those methods was the restrictions imposed by the government for collecting tyres for landfills. In recent years, the methods that are used for waste tyre...
In waste-related literature and policies, the main three viewpoints underpinning landfill waste reduction activities are encouragement, enforcement and education. In the context of Australian C&D waste management, each of these has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and hence received a differ...
