Face mask and medical waste generation in the City of Baguio, Philippines: its current management and GHG footprint

Marcelino N. Lunag et al.

Summary: The daily use of facemask is increasing the negative impact on the environment due to improper waste disposal. Baseline data is needed to study the effects of facemask and medical waste generation and community management practices in order to prevent further environmental degradation. This study surveyed 384 respondents and conducted computational analysis to determine household facemask usage and ecological footprint in combating Covid-19. The results showed that a large number of facemasks are disposed of daily, generating additional waste and potentially contributing to global warming, but there is also a potential for energy recovery. While most respondents are aware of proper facemask waste management practices, there are still some issues with responsible waste disposal, and the city's current management of disposable facemasks remains a challenge.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) disposal during COVID-19: An emerging source of microplastic and microfiber pollution in the environment

Muhammad Tariq Khan et al.

Summary: Waste generated by healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially single-use personal protective equipment (PPE), has become a new source of pollution, releasing microplastics (MPs) and microfibers (MFs) that threaten environmental sustainability. The excessive consumption of plastic-made PPE has led to large amounts of plastic waste entering terrestrial and marine environments. These MPs/MFs, when consumed by aquatic organisms, disrupt the food chain and potentially harm human health. Proper management of PPE waste is crucial for a post-COVID sustainable environment. However, many questions regarding MP/MF contamination during COVID-19 remain unanswered, necessitating further research and recommendations for environmental remediation.

Estimation of the healthcare waste generation during COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh

Tamal Chowdhury et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in medical waste generation, particularly from infected and quarantined patients. Bangladesh produced 658.08 tons of medical waste in March 2020 and this escalated to 16,164.74 tons in April 2021. The study also estimated the daily usage of face masks and hand gloves, and simulated potential waste generation from COVID-19 confirmatory tests and vaccination. Multiple guidelines were provided to ensure proper disposal and management of COVID-related wastes in the country.

Carbon mechanism on sustainable multi-objective solid transportation problem for waste management in Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment

Shyamali Ghosh et al.

Summary: Waste management plays an important role in various fields of the global ecosystem, contributing to a greener environment and sustainable development. In this study, a multi-objective solid transportation model is proposed for waste management in the agriculture and forest departments, targeting urban and rural development. The objective functions considered in this model are transportation cost, job opportunities, and carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are constrained by a combination of carbon mechanisms including carbon tax, cap-and-trade, and offset policies. Realistic processes often involve various critical situations and uncertainty in related data, for which a Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment is preferred over single uncertainty. A ranking approach is then used to convert uncertain data into crisp data. Two industrial applications are studied to validate the model and select the best carbon mechanism policy, utilizing fuzzy programming and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy programming to derive the Pareto-optimal solutions. The study includes comparative analysis, model validation, sensitivity analysis, managerial insights, and conclusions, along with future research directions.
