While the cost of landfilling is easily targeted by the central government, the latter factors are seldom addressed.doi:10.5276/JSWTM.2014.364Itai TrilnickUniversity of CaliforniaAlon TalStanford UniversityJournal of Solid Waste Technology & Management
Such a strategy could not be realistic and possible in low-income and less industrialized countries, so the only viable solution was the direct landfilling of infectious wastes. Sharma et al. (2020) presented a plan to build small pits for sanitary landfills, which was later modified by other...
revealed that the pandemic has led to an increase in personal protective equipment garbage and a decrease in waste diversion and recycling activities. Silva et al. believe that the incineration and landfilling of plastic waste were prioritized over recycling during the pandemic, which will result in...
“Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage,air pollution(from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for “conventional”...
Most stakeholders agree waste management must improve globally to prevent pollution of the aquatic environment, and that landfilling waste is not a viable strategy in the future. What some have called "uncontrolled biochemical reactors" [76] are landfills which are increasingly losing popularity as ...

Enforcing any part of EPR policy is difficult. For example, both global authorities and local municipalities need to monitor and control EPR programs across a broad range of industries. If issues arise, through illegal landfilling or free riding, for example, clear legal responsibilities need to b...
To tackle the large amount of solid waste generated from construction activities, Hong Kong has issued a series of construction waste management policies in the last twenty years. One of the most significant policies is the launch of an off-site construction waste sorting (CWS) program. Since it...

Sewage sludge is still frequently used for landfilling and as fertilizer in agriculture, and surface runoff may transfer MP to rivers and lakes and ultimately river basins and the sea. Washing clothes [[26]] and personal care products [[50]] are sources of MP in WWTPs. Since the retention ...
