Problem of utilization of solid production and consumption wastes. Plasma treatment of solid wastes

The growing population of the world, which leads to increased production and consumption, result in an significent increase in solid wastes. This increase threatens environmental are human heath and harms the economics of countriesTo counteraction these negative outcomes, both the supply of wastes to the country's economy and the less use of natural resources can be considered. In this study, studies focus on the evaluation of industrial wastes in the geotechnical engineering are examined and discussed.

Production And Consumption

Solid wastes that are residuals of production and consumption have steadily increased in quantity in recent years. Historically, many of these residuals have been discarded into the environment which appeared to have the capacity to handle them. However, now it is widely believed that these residuals are responsible for the degradation of environment quality by increasing air, water, and land pollution. Ecological considerations have increased the complexity of handling solid wastes and have stimulated the need for alternative methods of managing various types of wastes.Local and municipal authorities and private industry provide waste collection and disposal services. Municipal services are generally financed out of taxation revenues, so it is in the public's interest to have an efficient, cost-minimizing operation at some publicly acceptable standard of quality of service.

Resource Shortage

While massive natural resource is consumed in the production and consumption pattern of industrial civilization, plenty of solid waste is produced and discharged into natural environment, which has broken natural material circulation and caused problems like resource shortage, environmental pollution and ecological destruction. While solid waste may cause serious pollution, it still contains rich regenerative resources. In the background of ecological civilization construction, promoting circular development and recycling solid waste would be significant, and it is suitable to China's conditions." In the View of human civilization transformation, the significance of promoting circular development and recycling solid waste is analyzed and the internal relation between circular development and ecological civilization is also explored. Circular development conforms to the ecological civilization idea of respecting, conforming to and protecting nature, and provides material foundation for ecological civilization. From national conditions, the urgent need of promoting circular development and recycling solid wastes is stated. According to ecological civilization construction, on scientific understanding, top design, technology innovation and other aspects, relevant countermeasures are put forward.

Production Conditions

Innovators of in vitro meat (IVM) are convinced that this approach is the solution for problems related to current meat production and consumption, especially regarding animal welfare and environmental issues. However, the production conditions have yet to be fully clarified and there is still a lack of ethical discourses and critical debates on IVM. In consequence, discussion about the ethical justifiability and desirability of IVM remains hypothetical and we have to question those promises. This paper addresses the complex ethical aspects associated with IVM and the questions of whether, and under what conditions, the production of IVM represents an ethically justifiable solution for existing problems, especially in view of animal welfare, the environment, and society. There are particular hopes regarding the benefits that IVM could bring to animal welfare and the environment, but there are also strong doubts about their ethical benefits.
