Like the other Moroccan territories, Khenifra region faces many problems in household waste management, due to produced waste quantities, the insufficient infrastructure and the low level of environmental education. Khenifra region contain a diversified and fragile natural environment. In this work, we used the social approach that aims to diagnose the current state of waste management in the study area and in order to propose appropriate solutions for a successful management, as results, the existence of several deficiencies and constraints in the daily operations of collection and landfilling. Surveys and field visits have been carried out showed that the human and material resources used in the west management operation are not sufficient and not respect the environmental conditions. Facing these constraints require, an effective strategy for management of household waste in this territory has been developed to ensure a better collect and treatment. Thus, our proposed strategy cannot succeed without population involved, it requires collaboration between municipalities, delegated companies and citizens as well.

Abstract Waste management has consistently been challenged around the globe for decades, yet sophisticated technology has not managed the pile of trash, particularly in developing countries. One of the most often produced waste is the traditional market. The study aims to identify how the conventional market disposes of its regular waste and investigate the space quality as a crowded place during the pandemic of Covid-19. The research method is observing and analysing a case study located in Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Pasar Al-Mahirah is one of the traditional markets which distributing its complete regular waste directly to landfills. The result indicates that waste management is not sustainable because it lacks sorting and processing before. In terms of C-19 spreading, the space inside the building is vulnerable even though it has excellent natural ventilation and sunlight. This study performed a visual design solution for distributing waste inside the building, sustainable management based on 3R principle methods, and composting through aerobic methods for organic waste. Moreover, the stalls arrangement and the circulation for users are purposed in a layout plan to prevent a higher risk of the rising of Coronavirus transmissions.

Industrial symbiosis networks conventionally provide economic and environmental benefits to participating industries. However, most studies have failed to quantify waste management solutions and identify network connections in addition to methodological variation of assessments. This study provides a comprehensive model to conduct sustainable study of industrial symbiosis, which includes identification of network connections, life cycle assessment of materials, economic assessment, and environmental performance using standard guidelines from the literature. Additionally, a case study of industrial symbiosis network from Sodankylä region of Finland is implemented. Results projected an estimated life cycle cost of €115.20 million. The symbiotic environment would save €6.42 million in waste management cost to the business participants in addition to the projected environmental impact of 0.95 million tonne of CO2, 339.80 tonne of CH4, and 18.20 tonne of N2O. The potential of further cost saving with presented optimal assessment in the current architecture is forecast at €0.63 million every year.
