Seasonal characterization of municipal solid waste for selecting feasible waste treatment technology for Guwahati city, India

Abhishek Singhal et al.

Summary: The study highlighted the seasonal variation in municipal solid waste (MSW) composition and properties, emphasizing the importance of waste segregation and bio-methanation for sustainable waste treatment solutions. Thermochemical conversion of MSW may not be economically feasible due to inadequate quantity and high capital investment. This research provides valuable information for engineers and policymakers in solid waste management and urban planning.

The effects of compost bin design on design preference, waste collection performance, and waste segregation behaviors for public participation

Nattapon Leeabai et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of compost bin design on waste collection, sorting, and segregation behavior. Statistical analysis identified the significant impacts of design preferences, physical designs, visual prompts, and past behavior on various indicators. The findings suggest that preferred compost bin adoption, enhanced design, and appropriate visual prompts can improve source-separated waste collection efficiency.

Household waste management in Singapore and Shanghai: Experiences, challenges and opportunities from the perspective of emerging megacities

Jieyu Zhou et al.

Summary: Due to rapid economic development and urbanisation, emerging megacities are facing challenges in developing sustainable waste management systems. This study assessed the waste management modes in two selected emerging megacities, Singapore and Shanghai, and found significant differences in their management strategies, environmental effects, economic costs, and social outcomes. The research results provide insights into the long-term sustainability of each mode and the feasibility of implementation in different contexts.

Improving urban household solid waste management in developing countries based on the German experience

Bruno Duarte Azevedo et al.

Summary: This study compared waste management practices between a German and a Brazilian city, finding that Germany's system was more effective than Brazil's. The three pillars of the German solid waste management system – clear laws, regular public campaigns, and fee methodology – were highlighted as crucial for efficient waste management.

The effects of color preference and noticeability of trash bins on waste collection performance and waste-sorting behaviors

Nattapon Leeabai et al.

Summary: The study found that trash bins with the least preferred colors had the highest waste separation efficiencies. Color preference towards trash bins had no significant impact on waste collection, while lower color preference contributed to lower noticeability of trash bins. Emphasizing the location of less noticeable trash bins might help participants practice correct waste disposal.

A review of China's municipal solid waste (MSW) and comparison with international regions: Management and technologies in treatment and resource utilization

Yin Ding et al.

Summary: The management of MSW in China still has room for improvement and should be combined with advanced technologies to achieve resource utilization. The amount of MSW generated in eastern coastal regions of China is increasing, but the management efficiency is lower than that of developed countries.

Plastics in the context of the circular economy and sustainable plastics recycling: Comprehensive review on research development, standardization and market

Madina Shamsuyeva et al.

Summary: The study reviews existing recycling technologies, standards, and market situations for plastic recycling, showing that mechanical recycling is the most well-developed approach. However, challenges such as global plastic material flow and lack of international standards hinder the transfer of research findings into practice, emphasizing the need for close cooperation between scientists, standardization committees, and industry to develop a Circular Economy Model for plastics products.
