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.

Abstract Effective separation of water and oil dispersions is considered a critical step in the determination of technical and economic success in the petroleum industry over the years. Moreover, a deeper understanding of the emulsification process and different affected parameters is essential for cost-effective oil production, transportation, and downstream processing. Numerous studies conducted on the concept of dispersion characterization indicate the importance of this concept, which deserves attention by the scientific community. Therefore, a comprehensive review study with critical analysis on significant concepts will help readers follow them easily. This study is a comprehensive review of the concept of dispersion characterization and conducted studies recently published. The main purposes of this review are to 1) Highlight flaws, 2) Outline gaps and weaknesses, 3) Address conflicts, 4) Prevent duplication of effort, 5) List factors affecting dispersion. It was found that the separation efficiency and stability of dispersions are affected by different chemical and physical factors. Factors affecting the stability of the emulsions have been studied in detail and will help to look for the right action to ensure stable emulsions. In addition, methods of ensuring stability, especially coalescence are highlighted, and coalescence mathematical explanations of phenomena are presented.

Among the different types of waste, hazardous waste poses a serious challenge to humans and the environment if not properly managed. Although many industries generate hazardous waste in various degrees, heavy industries generate the largest volume of hazardous waste. While hazardous waste management (HWM) has been studied well in many industry sectors and countries, it is not so with heavy industries in developing countries. The purpose of this paper was therefore to identify the factors affecting the HWM practices in heavy industries in Sri Lanka. The data was collected from 40 companies in ten different industrial categories of heavy industry. The respondent was the environmental officer of each company. The analysis reveals that technological facilities, public resistance, company policy, and economic factors affect the HWM practices in heavy industries in Sri Lanka. This study has several policy level and managerial implications for HWM in heavy industries to contribute towards the achievement of sustainable development.

This paper explores techniques in sustainability metrics modeling and metrics-driven scenarios analysis to evaluate and improve process performance in sustainable waste management. The sustainability is measured along the triple bottom line. Model-based metrics for quantifying environmental impacts, societal implications, and economic profitability of material recovery processes are developed as functions of processing technology choices, key operating parameters, and material market conditions. Process scenarios are analyzed based on the metric models developed to provide a series of reference points for process performance improvement. The results have provided recyclers with a solid understanding of the factors affecting sustainability in waste management, and facilitated them to make and justify sustainability decisions in sustainable recovery of materials from industrial wastes.

Market waste is one waste generation from commercial areas that influence the municipal waste generation. Thus it is necessary to manage effectively and efficiently in order to be sustainable in environmental, social and economical. Talang market is one of the traditional markets in Solok Regency which has an area of ± 3.30 Ha, is the largest and most crowded market in Solok Regency. This market operates every Wednesday with 420 merchants. The problem is there is still a lot of waste disposed in the open air, not all of them be transported to landfill. In addition, there is still a lot of waste scattered in the corners of kiosks and market hallway after the market operates. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance and factors that influence the performance of waste management services based on the opinion of traders and market managers in Talang Market, Gunung Talang District, Solok Regency. This research uses descriptive statistical method with quantitative approach. Analyze technique is done by scoring and factor analysis with tangible variable, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, finance, social and environment with 208 respondents. The result of this research is the performance of waste management service of Talang Market has bad category with the score of 2.58 in range interval 2-2,667. The main factors affecting the performance are operational technical factors. Other important factors are financing factor and service quality, service effectiveness factor, individual role factor, personnel quality factor, service guarantee factor and waste minimization factor at source. Recommendation from the research that is in according with the main factors as well as the less and poor performance that is required optimization of transportation, transfer, collection, warehousing, the ability of personnel and increase the participation of individuals in waste management.

Plastic waste is a garbage that cannot be degradable and very harmful to environmental health conditions because the garbage is included in non-organic waste. In "household plastic waste management in order to prevent environmental pollution, there is  a  problem in  the waste management of household-generated. The problem is 1) how is the policy of setting the plastic waste management household as an effort to prevent environmental pollution in the village of Pedungan district of Denpasar? 2) What are the factors affecting household plastic waste management in Pedungan village? The method in this study is a type of empirical legal research. The approach to the problem used is a fact approach, a case approach, and a sociological approach. In this research, it aims to be able to know the problem solving and to assess the problem in the management of plastic waste in Pedungan village area about the types of garbage, how to manage plastic waste, and the result of plastic waste. Data collection techniques by observation, interviews, and questionnaires, read books and other literature. Analysis of legal data is analyzed and compiled systematically by using qualitative analysis, by analyzing the data obtained from primary and secondary data sources. The waste management is regulated in Decree No. 660/04/I/2019 on the management structure of Pedungan Asri's garbage Bank as household waste management effort, especially in Pedungan village environment.
