The Impact

In modern conditions, there are unacceptable risks of harm from exposure to hazardous chemical and biological factors for public health and the environment. The complexity and scale of environmental and hygiene problems that directly or indirectly affect the state of the nation’s health require active action on priority strategically important areas. One, of which is the waste management system, which can cope with the growing volumes and species diversity of waste. The components of the public health risk caused by the formation, accumulation, recycling, and disposal of wastes are the factors of the negative complex impact on the environment during inter-environment migration of pollutants. Solid municipal waste landfills are sources of long-term negative environmental impact due to the receipt of a highly toxic filtrate and biogas containing greenhouse gases and toxic substances. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of chemicals entering the atmospheric air from polygons with an assessment of the health risks. Studies have been conducted for a landfill located near and serving the largest urbanized area in the region. The methodology of risk assessment in accordance with R.2.1.10.1920-04 “Guidelines for the assessment of risk to public health in the impact of chemicals polluting the environment” has been applied. In the course of the study, a list of chemicals entering the atmospheric air during the life cycle and production activities of the landfill was determined based on the evaluation and analytical method. The risk assessment methodology applied in the waste management system allowed calculating of individual carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, as well as hazard indices when exposed to critical organs and systems and to develop further tactics for conducting monitoring in the areas in the zone affected by the test site.

Due to enhanced healthcare needs brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of biomedical waste generated has also increased manifold across the globe. With the world in global crisis due to the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put great pressure on the biomedical waste management system in India and around the world. To control the spread of the COVID-19 virus, proper disposal of the waste is essential to reduce any risk of secondary transmission. This paper investigates the situation of biomedical waste management in the city of Thane in Maharashtra due to the onset of COVID-19 and suggests some key recommendations to the policymakers to help handle biomedical waste from possible future pandemics. The study found that there was an 81% increase in the total biomedical waste (BMW) generation in 2020, when compared to 2019 and the yellow category waste from COVID-19 centres was the highest contributor to this waste. It was also found that though there was a slight increase in yellow category waste, the total biomedical waste from non- COVID healthcare facilities (HCFs) was comparable to that of the waste generated in HCFs during 2019, revealing that there was conscious reduction in the usage of single use PPEs at non- COVID HCFs. The city, despite owning a Central Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF), was dependent on another incinerator at the Hazardous Waste Management Treatment facility (HWTF) for treatment of the additional waste generated. Unforeseen situation like these, expose the vulnerability of our existing biomedical waste management system and reinforces the need for investing and improving them for strengthening preparedness in the future. The situation also demands periodic education on importance of source segregation and waste reduction through rational use, disinfection and disposal of PPEs.

Bangladesh is a low-lying riverine country. Unplanned growth of urban population causes audacious generation of solid wastes and strives immense pressure on existing services and environment. At present days, urban solid waste management is considered as most immediate and demanding environmental problems vexing Municipal authorities or urban governments in developing Asian countries like Bangladesh. Cities are now clashing with the serious problems of high amount of waste. The traditional concepts and inferior technologies of collecting waste are becoming incomplete as well as incompetent resulting more than half of the engendered solid wastes remain uncollected, disposed of regionally, forging the environmental view of cities quite murky and disheartening for the future. In waste management system, Germany is a role model for the world and the New German Closed-Cycle management is aiming to curve the waste management into resource management. The main intent of this research study is to categories in the solid wastes, discussing the issues of waste generation, a popular method for solid waste management, gasification schematic and waste-management model for Bangladesh. This study also explains Germany Closed-Cycle Management Act as well as waste treatment facilities, recovery, and disposal rate in Germany. Germany keeps very high-quality to preserve soil, air and water from the emissions integrated with waste storage and treatment.

The Ciliwung River is one of the main rivers flowing in the DKI Jakarta area. Ciliwung has an area of 370.8 km2, with a length of 124.1 km. The Ciliwung River contributes greatly to the communities in three big cities, namely Bogor, Depok and Jakarta as a source of drinking water, a source of raw water and a source of water for irrigation. The condition of household wastewater is currently discharged directly or indirectly into river water bodies. gray water is immediately discharged into the water body without being treated. Blackwater is treated to inadequate septic tanks or discharged directly into water bodies. This condition certainly requires a fast and precise solution and handling. In terms of domestic wastewater management, both gray water and black water, at this time Cililitan village is not included in the area that is accessible to centralized wastewater piping or off-site systems and does not have land that can be used to make a communal system waste treatment so that most of the households still throw away directly into the river or using a septic tank without regular desludging. The purpose of this study is to identify the current waste management conditions in Cililitan Village and provide recommendations for the selection of a sustainable domestic waste management system that is acceptable to the community and safe for the environment.

The Impact

Attention is drawn to the threatening scale of problems in the field of waste management, the direct correlation between the dynamics of socio-economic development and the accumulation of waste, which requires the formation of an adequate waste management system based on a territorially balanced approach. The importance of assessing the impact of quantitative and qualitative parameters of waste generation / utilization that form the territorial balance of waste management systems is emphasized. The organizational and economic factors that determine the volume and structure of waste generation / utilization and to which we primarily refer the macroeconomic situation in the country, economic activity of enterprises, logistics, economic, environmental levers and production restrictions are substantiated. The importance of governmental institutions in providing conditions for responsible treatment of waste management and in the use of administrative and incentive instruments to influence these processes is emphasized By changing the structure of production, a trade-off can be found between market demand for products and the cost of production, taking into account the prospective cost of waste management. The experience of European countries shows that modern recycling technologies must meet the criteria of environmental friendliness, economy, long-term availability of raw materials for recycling and demand for recycling technologies from the point of view of the sale of recycled waste components. We are convinced that the processing enterprise for the successful functioning of the company must be a business project, not a social project. This alters the motivation of management and focuses its strategy on economic outcomes that will produce social and environmental effects. The feasibility of using a public-private partnership scheme can provide a synergistic effect in the waste management system. Emphasis is placed on the effect-forming role of the socio-legal group of factors, which include the level of environmental awareness of waste generators, responsibility for violation of technological standards, ability to organize the sorting of household waste, state priorities for the implementation of waste management policy, legal responsibility for unauthorized waste.

The Impact

Increased construction activities in Australia have led to the generation of a massive volume of construction and demolition (C&D) waste annually. Management of this volume of waste requires an effective waste framework. The literature reported that the current Australian waste framework does not meet expectations and needs immediate improvements. This study was therefore conducted to seek the key C&D stakeholders' opinion about various issues identified in this waste stream. The specific objectives of this study are identification of the main barriers to effective C&D waste management, the impact of current regulations and opportunities to enhance the current C&D waste management system. A survey was conducted in 2019 to capture the stakeholders' perception. 132 participants from various industries and government agencies based in various Australian jurisdictions took part in the survey. The key results showed that the main barriers towards an effective management system are "overregulation, tough acceptance criteria, and increased testing requirements", "lack of local market" and "culture, poor education and low acceptance". Furthermore, a low number of participants indicated that the current legislation encourages waste recovery activities. The main areas of improvements included "providing a guideline that determines the accepted level of contamination for reusing C&D waste”, "preparation of guidelines on requirements of using recycled C&D materials in different industries" and "setting target for reduction, reusing, and recycling C&D waste". The results can inform policy development and be used as evidence for a broader discussion to solve lasting issues in C&D waste management.

The Moment

The waste is a product of everyday human activities, and we are faced with large amounts of waste daily. Inadequate method of waste treatment effects are numerous: pollution of the environment and hazards to human health, the loss of useful components from waste, or the exploitation and consumption of natural resources. In the XXI century the sustainable management of municipal waste will become essential in all stages, from planning to construction, handling, recycling and final decomposition. Range of new and existing technologies for waste treatment and waste management strategies require the maintenance of environmental quality at the moment, but also the fulfillment of sustainability in the future.Integrated waste management should meet certain priorities in line with the waste hierarchy, such as requirements for recycling waste, to increase the use of renewable energy in order to looking for more socially acceptable options, and to preserve biodiversity and natural ecosystems simultaneously. Achieving these goals is possible only if all technical and non-technical aspects of solid waste management system are analyzed as a whole, because they are interrelated, and development in one area often influences the practice or activity in another area.Various analytical tools and methods are used to help in decision making in waste management systems. Analytical methods used in the waste management system can be classified into two groups: engineering models and models of assessment system.

Health service activities by the hospital produce a waste of any activity in the form of medical activities and non-medical activities. The purpose of this research is to analyze the solid waste management system in  'X' Hospital, Cilegon City, Banten. The result showed that the source of solid waste generated were classified into 2 types, namely 2% of medical waste and 98% non medical, where the waste treatment process included sorting, characteristic wastage, transporting garbage to TPS, weighing, temporary storage and transportation. The method of handling solid, B3 and domestic solid waste in 'X' Hospital is done in each unit which is sorting according to its characteristic, but still finding the placement of waste which is not in accordance with its characteristic and solid waste processing process is not done by the hospital but given to a third party. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effort to evaluate the solid waste management of 'X' Hospital must refer to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1204 / Menkes/ SK / X / 2004 on Hospital Health Requirements and need to improve supervision and good cooperation with nurses and janitors in the separation of medical and non-medical waste.

AbstractWaste becomes one of the crucial problems, even including cultural problems, because the impact will disrupt all aspects of life. Most landfills are operated using an open dumping system even though the landfill is designed with a sanitary landfill system. Therefore proper handling is needed to reduce the risks associated with waste problems. One of the waste handlings that can be done is with a sustainable waste management system, which is the concept of zero waste. This is in line with the efforts of the SDGs' target to state that the country as a whole can reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a technical approach to the analysis of literature studies in examining zero waste-based waste management systems through several case studies, namely the City of Canberra, South Korea, Sweden, Brazil, Japan, and Germany. The results showed that implementing the waste management system with the concept of zero waste required the collaboration of all parties not only stakeholders, and indirectly the cultural characteristics of the community played an important role to realize the concept of zero waste because of the need for high public awareness. And essentially all parties, both the government and the community want to reduce the amount of waste from both sources and landfills and improve the recycling system to create an ideal city. Keywords: Municipal Waste, Waste Management, Zero Waste AbstrakSampah menjadi salah satu permasalahan yang krusial bahkan termasuk masalah kultural karena dampak yang ditimbulkan akan mengganggu semua aspek kehidupan. Sebagian besar tempat pembuangan sampah dioperasikan dengan menggunakan sistem open dumping walaupun TPA tersebut didesain dengan sistem sanitary landfill. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan penanganan yang tepat untuk mengurangi resiko terkait masalah sampah. Salah satu penanganan sampah yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan sistem pengolahan sampah berkelanjutan yaitu konsep zero waste. Hal ini sejalan dengan upaya target SDGs menyatakan bahwa negara secara menyeluruh mampu mengurangi timbulan sampah melalui pencegahan, pengurangan, daur ulang, dan pemakaian kembali. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan teknis analisis studi literatur dalam mengkaji sistem pengelolaan sampah berbasis zero waste melalui beberapa studi kasus yaitu Kota Canberra, Korea Selatan, Swedia, Brasil, Jepang, dan Jerman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa untuk menerapkan sistem pegelolaan sampah dengan konsep zero waste diperlukan kerjasama semua pihak tidak hanya pemangku kepentingan, dan secara tidak langsung komitmen masyarakat berperan penting untuk mewujudkan konsep zero waste karena perlunya kesadaran masyarakat yang tinggi. Dan pada hakekatnya semua pihak baik pemerintah dan masyarakat menginginkan untuk mengurangi jumlah sampah baik dari sumber maupun TPA dan meningkatkan sistem daur ulang untuk mewujudkan kota yang ideal.Kata Kunci : Sampah Kota, Pengelolaan Sampah, Zero Waste
