AbstractThis paper discusses interactions between the generation, collection and recovery of used tyres while considering an indicator of their mass accumulation per area in Poland. Notably, this study aimed to assess selected issues related to used tyre management efficiency from 2008 to 2018 based on European Union and national regulations. Within 11 years, over 5 million Mg of used tyres was introduced into the domestic market—exceeding the amount required for 50 million registered vehicles. It was demonstrated that a significant tyre waste management process involved the recovery of 47% of all tyres, which was almost entirely correlated with the total volume of tyres. Only the growth trend for generated tyres was considered significant, and the rarely used indicator of the accumulation of used tyres per area exhibited an uneven accumulation of used tyres, with the highest amount being 48.06 Mg km−2 in a region with a small area but a significant volume of waste tyres. Therefore, the management of used tyres requires action in the country to optimally increase this form of waste collection while consolidating the development, gathering and processing infrastructure in the context of further minimising environmental pressure and increasing the efficiency of their use by considering the 4R principle.

This research aims to find out the evaluation of waste management policiy in Palu City and how to counteract them to be as expected in Regional Regulations. Type of research was qualitative by using descriptive methods. Data collection techniques covered in-depth interviews and observations. The results of research related to the evaluation of waste management policy in Palu city have been carried out but it’s not maximum because there were problems in evaluation criteria such as effectiveness, efficiency, and adequacy. Effectiveness has not been achieved because of the lack of control from the concerned parties and public awareness in waste management. Efficiency has not been achieved because of the behaviour and public awareness of the environment is low. In addition, the specified waste disposal operational time has not been fully adhered to the community, while adequacy criteria have not been able to solve environmental hygiene and health problems due to the presence of TPS, only causing a bad smell in the surrounding environment so that it can indirectly affect the level of cleanliness and public health.

Abstract The study aimed to assess used tyre management efficiency in Poland from 2008 to 2018, considering their recovery based on EU and national regulations. Within 11 years, over 5 million Mg of used tyres were introduced to the domestic market, exceeding 50 million registered vehicles. A significant process in tyre waste management was the recovery of 47% of tyres, which was almost fully correlated with the total amount of tyres. Only the growth trend of the manufactured tyres was considered significant, and the rarely used indicator of the accumulation of used tyres per area showed an uneven accumulation of worn tyres with the highest amount of 48.06 Mg km-2 in a region with a small area but significant volume of tyres. Therefore, management of used tyres requires taking actions that optimise increasing waste collection and rational recovery in the context of the further minimisation of environmental pressure and increasing the efficiency of their use, taking into account the advanced technology.

Diversion Rate

In this paper, waste management in Alberta (AB) and British Columbia (BC) from 1996 to 2010 are examined with respect to generation characteristics and management efficiency. The daily average waste generation rates in AB and BC were 3.34 kg/capita and 2.50 kg/capita, respectively. It was found that annual family income has a positive relation with residential waste generation in both provinces, as did the proportion of educated citizens. Gross domestic product was positively related to non-residential waste generation in AB, and negatively related in BC. Annual agricultural farm cash receipts were positively related to non-residential waste generation in both provinces, and AB’s industry earnings were significantly higher. Between 1998 and 2010, the average diversion rate in AB was 15.1%, and BC’s was 32.9%, which place them on opposing sides of the national average (23.4%). Total operating expenditures were similar in both provinces, yet BC’s waste diversion was more than double AB’s.

The Usa

In this paper we investigate agricultural innovation in three economic areas: the USA, Japan and Europe, taking into account simultaneously both the spatial and technological dimensions.In particular, we introduce a theoretical framework and an empirical analysis based upon a dataset composed of worldwide R&D-intensive firms to discuss the role of spillover components in the waste management efficiency at firm level. The technological relatedness between the firms is computed through an original Mahalanobis Environmental industry weight matrix, based on the construction of technological vectors for each firm. Methodologically, from one hand, we explore the extent to which knowledge spillovers are important through spatial analysis procedure and from the other hand, we measure the effects of technology spillovers on firms’ productivity through econometric methods to handle heterogeneity and endogenous explanatory variables. The findings show a positive impact of Jacobian R&D spillovers on firms’ productivity and environmental performance and this result can be relevant repercussions in terms of policy implications.
