Sustainability entails a development that meets the present generation’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland Commission, 1987). Hence, new public management practices need to be restored sustainably to fulfill the social contract theory by protecting citizens’ happiness, security, and development. Sustainable development goals (SDGs) in this direction mobilize many specialized fields, including public administration in its new form. New public management (NPM) practices are the art of maximizing value from natural resources and human capital. In designing organizations for such a citizen-enabled strategy within NPM in a sustainable perspective, policymakers must identify stakeholders, commitment of the initiators, and the innovation pattern in introducing this policy to the environment (Kairouz, 2016). This research paper introduces an attempt to set a sustainable development policy to maintain solid waste management (SWM) from administrative and a citizen-oriented reform policy orientation. In Egypt, SWM is a persistent issue reflecting on the environment; hence, social and health problems must be properly managed through developmental policies to contribute to the country’s welfare. The policy instrument of NPM in SDGs entails both municipal waste management and the rationalization of fossil fuel subsidies. The research conducted a pilot study of three months using sustainable supply chain management practices as a tool for managing solid wastes in universities where wastes are considered a product, which requires management throughout this chain to maximize efficiency and sustain the environment. The business model includes suppliers of the waste, including any firm that supplies the university with material for the ongoing study period. It also includes any individual bringing goods of usage in the campus that turn into waste. The referential analysis technique is used to draw a generalization of conclusions depending on the logic found in areas of secondary sources in early studies.

Increasingly, hybridity, i.e., the combination of contrasting and conflicting elements within organizations, is seen as a way to create innovation and synergy in dealing with complex societal questions, leading to more sustainable development. Much research on the subject deals with the phenomenon of social enterprise, but hybridity also takes place in other, more traditional organizational settings. For example, many governments have created hybrid organizations by embracing new public management (NPM) as a way to overcome the perceived shortcomings of traditional, hierarchical forms of public administration, such as inefficiency and the lack of an entrepreneurial spirit. Here, hybridity is often not so much seen as a way to increase sustainability but rather as a way to cut cost and to increase the quality of service provision. This article adds the sustainability dimension to this discussion through a deductive approach, reinterpreting the results from a study on the effects of the hybridity of three municipal waste management organizations in the Netherlands. The main conclusions are that hybridity leads to a more professional management style but also to more attention on output than on outcome. The article discusses what this means in terms of pursuing sustainability and sustainable development.

Recurrent Theme

Solid waste management has become of increasing interest, and it is a recurrent theme on literature. This study aimed to depict the current scenario regarding the theme and to identify solid waste management practices in developed and developing countries, searching for mechanisms and techniques of technology transfer which contribute to sustainable development. To reach this purpose, a systematic review of literature was done. Using the methodology Methodi Ordinatio, the portfolio of articles was built. Research results show that technology transfer is a strategy that can assist in the management of solid waste, contributing to sustainable development, if some specific actions are respected. In addition, different sustainable techniques and strategies were identified. However, economic aspects relating to the application and transfer of technologies to the management of solid waste practices were not identified in the extant literature, a topic to be explored by new scientific researches.

Abstract Sustainable development goals target to achieve better living condition in all countries by 2030 and this paves the need for ecological assessment and management. Accelerating environmental deterioration triggers the scientific community to invest and formulate policies and strategies for environmental management, which will lead to sustainable development. Among all environmental issues solid waste management pose serious threat considering the increase in amount of generation of waste in all economies. Better management strategies and policies are required to ensure better living conditions. Incorporation of AI based models to assist the human efforts not only ensure better management of waste but also aid in reduced carbon emissions. Various models and algorithms have been evaluated to assess their potential in better management of solid waste. Algorithms are available in various domains. In thisreview article, role of various AI based techniques in waste management is discussed.

Factors Affecting

The problem associated with the household behavior on solid waste disposal site in today�s society is complex because of the large quantity and diverse nature of the wastes. Due increase the population, rapid development, global agricultural development has moved rapidly, limitations of financing, emerging limitations of both energy and raw materials and also add to the complexity of any waste management system, large quantities of wastes are being generated in different forms such as solid, liquid and gases. This research explored factors affecting the level of participation in solid waste segregation and recycling of households in Romania, as well as examining current Romania households waste management practices and their knowledge of waste management. This study investigated the solid waste situation and the organization of solid waste management in both urban and rural settings from the perspective of households. Solid waste management is a key component of public services which needs to serve the urban and rural municipalities in an efficient way in order to maintain a decent standard of public health.
