Waste recycling plant project in the city of Aldan

In the Education context, the focus of Science, Technology and Society (STS) allows researchers with social, political and environmental nature themes, among others, which involve the active participation in the human being in face of society problems, in the sense of reflect, criticize and act. Therefore, the aim of this work was to develop conceptual and atheist learning based on the urban garbage theme in an intervention project with activities involving sustainability, reuse, consumerism and responsibilities. The research had a qualitative nature based on action research principles, developed by the pedagogy of projects, with the participation of thirteen (13) high school first year students from a public institution located in the city of Manaus-AM, the students were all volunteers. Data collection occurred through questionnaires, textual production, discussions and oral exposure and then they were qualitatively analyzed in an exploratory way. The results revealed that the students presented signs of conceptual understanding of the theme related terms, such as: garbage, solid waste, recycling and reuse, then sought to draw associations with chemical concepts and to propose environmental issues solutions using sustainability and social responsibilities. The students showed sensitivity regarding the theme and were willing to change their attitudes towards the problem.

The city of Surabaya is the second largest city after Jakarta and of course is inhabited by millions of peoplewho produce trash every day, especially plastic waste which is mostly produced from used food containers,plastic cups, straws and plastic bags. Various methods are used by the government to overcome this problemso that the city of Surabaya can become a cleaner and more beautiful city. One community in Surabaya calledthe Waste Recycling Project is a caring community, focusing on the waste recycling activities in Surabaya.The Waste Recycling Project community is able to change the form (transformation) of waste into functionalgoods. This encourages this community to have a place where it can be developed into a community tourismdestination with a Human Centered Design approach where people and tourists can come to visit the WasteRecycling Project to tour and learn together about plastic waste management. This interior design is focusedon designing a community place that can accommodate gathering activities for service learning, space forplastic waste recycle workshop activities, and as a forum for aspirations of creative ideas as well as a gatheringplace for people who have interests and concerns for the surrounding environment.

The City

Bearing in mind that only 42% of plastic packaging post-consumer waste is recycled in Europe, the European Directive 2018/852 established the key target of a 55% plastic packaging waste recycling rate by 2030. For this reason, PlastiCircle, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program project, aims to foster the recycling of packaging, improve all stages of the waste collection, and promote responsible consumption. Three European cities have been selected as locations for pilot implementation: Valencia (Spain), Utrecht (The Netherlands) and Alba Iulia (Romania). The main objective of the present study has been to evaluate the participants’ opinion and attitudes on plastic recycling. This paper presents the results from the district of San Marcelino in the city of Valencia, the first PlastiCircle pilot to face the challenges of encouraging households to participate more in plastic waste sorting and recycling.

The City

Electronic waste (e-waste) has become an increasingly pressing problem worldwide because of the increase in the volume of waste, without a corresponding increase in the recycling rate. E-waste recycling models show a low percentage of reuse, at around 17.4% in the world, 11% in Latin America, and 3% in São Paulo City, Brazil. The sources of conflicts relating to e-waste recycling networks are diverse, including asymmetries of objectives, knowledge, ethical values, and culture of sustainability, which indicates the need for a system of regulatory mechanisms. The article’s main proposition is that constructed governance, which is a collective process involving many actors, could be an alternative to e-waste recycling management. The city of São Paulo was chosen to be analyzed. Using an abductive methodology, the data analysis shows a fragmented network, with conflicts of interest among commercial and sustainability objectives, an absence of legal knowledge, and increases in the incorrect disposal of waste. However, initiatives in small groups in Brazil, which can be considered as examples of constructed governance, show a better volume of waste and the transportation of waste material to the right destination. The authors argue that constructed governance could be an efficient tool for e-waste recycling management systems. Besides, the article offers a matrix of indicators that can be used by both researchers and recycling managers.

This manuscript investigates the waste paper management (WPM) of an educational Institute and aware the people about the importance of waste paper management and recycling of waste papers by multidimensional approach. The research assessed two multi long term plans, considering all recycling settings feasible for educational scenario. To complete that purpose, support for the collection of waste papers, final disposal its environmental and financial impact assessment concerning to transportation is also required. Results suggest that the quality of handmade papers is improved by doping some external materials in cellulose of waste papers. In this manuscript, flour of wheat is mixed in waste paper cellulose. The analysis of handmade paper is done by photometric test. It is found that at some percentages of doping of flour in waste paper pulp, the reflection properties of the paper is increased and surface of paper become smooth and hard. At some other percentages of doping, the papers are shown absorption properties. The traditional papers are manufactured in paper mills and the industries are one of the major source of responsible for air, water and land pollutions. By recycling of waste papers & rags, the handmade papers are produced which may become the alternate of all types of papers. Recycling can help to keep the city clean. Papers are manufactured by wooden pulp and for this; the trees are cut from the forest. Recycling of waste papers is one solution to protect environment, deforestation, soil erosion, which can also lead to disaster like kedarnath disaster in 2013 and major threat to the atmosphere. Recycling of paper can also proved to be a new source of employment and can become a hot area for startups, as we have recently seen many various startups in the field of recycling, such as e-waste recycling, plactic recycling, etc.

This study analyzes various regulations on urban waste management, with emphasis in recycling activities. How regulatory frameworks from the national level translates to the city level, and the extent of its implementation are examined through field observations in the city of Semarang as a case study. Based on the study of regulations and policy documents, this study suggests that recycling is found in various policy domains, not only those concerning waste management but also in the environment, industry, company’s limited liability and infrastructure domains. This study highlights two main problems in recycling namely: policy idealism and approach dualism. From these two basic problems, this study recommends a strategy for strengthening the capacity and collaboration of related parties as one of keys to increasing the capacity of waste recycling, especially in urban areas in Indonesia.

Detroit has undergone a lot of economical, demographic, and environmental changes over the past few decades. The decline that occurred in Detroit had a strong impact on the state as well. People lost their jobs, many left the city, and population was dramatically decreased. These issues were interlinked with economic inequality, lack of education and lack of affordable housing, etc. Many public issues go unresolved such as low graduation rates, inadequate access to transportation, youth violence, and employment etc. History of ecological disregard has made the city hazardous. Environmental issues such as air pollution, waste recycling and contaminated lakes are a great concern. Research is carrying out from all sides to reduce the intensity of these problems. Upgrading the physical infrastructure of transportation, sanitation and social infrastructures like schools, universities, hospitals, and communities, etc., uplifts the standard of living. Groups of non-profit and environmental justice organizations like Detroit Environmental Agenda (DEA) focuses on interlinked social, economic, and environmental injustices. The main purpose of this paper is to study the present scenario of social and environmental issues for Detroit by the analyzing case studies regarding the issues and suggesting possible solutions for them.
