Increasing requirements concerning the environmental protection and waste management result in the development both new and effective recycling methods of various fractions of waste. From the technical and natural sciences point of view, the utilization of hazardous waste is essential. The inappropriate utilization of hazardous waste causes the environmental degradation. Particularly harmful waste is asbestos using not so long ago in many sectors of economy, including automotive industry. Despite of the ban of production and exploitation of asbestos, waste containing asbestos minerals are still in the environment. The necessity of the utilization of asbestos waste leads to the development of high-efficiency recycling methods with the application of different technologies. This paper shows the current state of knowledge concerning the asbestos waste with particular reference to the automotive industry. The recycling methods of asbestos used both in laboratory and industrial scale are also presented.

Management of medical and hazardous wastes is a serious problem especially for developing countries. People are not aware of possible threats and/or they are afraid of the cost of application. Rapid population growth leads municipalities towards proper solid waste management applications. In this study, data were collected from the Turkish Statistical Institute and a general framework was drawn for medical and hazardous waste amounts and disposal methods. Starting from this point of view, the authors analyzed both the Regulation on Control of Hazardous Waste and the Regulation on Control of Medical Waste applied in Turkey. Taking into account all of these factors, this chapter is intended to develop the medical and hazardous waste management system economically and environmentally including waste generation, collection, transportation, disposal and treatment activities. Additionally, it investigates the reasons for lack of proper application of the regulations in light of the statistical data.

This study elucidates the current state of hazardous waste management in industrial parks with a particular focus on Jiangsu Province. The development of the Internet of Things and big data technology has encouraged the application of intelligent technologies for hazardous waste management. However, the concept of considering each chemical park as a large enterprise have been suggested to reduce potential risks from the transportation of hazardous waste, help local environmental protection departments intuitively understand the position of park administrators, and to realize cyclic utilization of hazardous waste resources. We propose integrated management of hazardous waste at the chemical park level. In this study, principles such as integrated closed management, data unification, clustering management, and intelligent technologies were introduced for hazardous waste management in chemical parks. Additionally, potential approaches, such as a unified environmental butler service, an intelligent standard box system, and system optimization scenarios, are proposed and comprehensively explained. These approaches are likely to enable informed, structured, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary management of hazardous waste not only in chemical parks but also in industrial parks in general in the future.

In line with population growth and lifestyle, the number of electronic waste increased. Electronicwaste is a hazardous waste that threaten human survival. Various efforts have been and are beingtaken to prevent environmental degradation caused by poor management of electronic waste.However, electronic waste is a source of valuable material that can be recovered through a series ofprocesses in the manufacturing of electronic waste. Support from various parties necessary for therealization of a sustainable e-waste management.Keywords: electronic waste, pollution, extended producer responsibilityAbstrakSejalan dengan pertumbuhan penduduk dan gaya hidup, limbah elektronik semakin meningkatjumlahnya. Limbah elektronik secara umum merupakan limbah berbahaya sehingga dapatmengancam kelangsungan hidup manusia. Berbagai upaya telah dan sedang dilakukan untukmencegah terjadinya degradasi lingkungan akibat pengelolaan limbah elektronik yang buruk. Namundemikian, limbah elektronik adalah sumber material berharga yang dapat di-recovery melaluiserangkaian proses di industri pengolahan limbah elektronik.

The management of waste oils is one of several key issues in the field of environmental protection. One of the leading problems is how to manage and process hazardous waste, including liquid hazardous waste oils. Due to the increasing amount of this waste, it is reasonable to be concerned about how to manage waste oils without harmful effects on the environment. The obvious problem with waste oil management in Serbia is insufficient laws and regulations in this area, as well as the fact that waste oil has been illegally incinerated, spilled and disposed. The adoption of the Waste Oils Directive and the Law on Waste Management set the legal framework for the management of waste oils, thus opening the possibility for investment and business in this area. Key words: waste, waste oil, management, storage, treatment

Denmark started development of its national hazardous waste management system in 1971,and since then the system has been continuously developed as a result of technical and political changes. This paper describes the development of this national registration, collection and treatment system for oil-and chemical wastes, seen from an operator's point of view. Development in waste amount is presented and commented on based on the corresponding political and legal actions taken due to the increased environmental concern in the country. Trends in development of alternative treatment and recycling facilities resulting from technological developments and economical incentives are mentioned.

The use of a particular material in the automotive industry is determined by its properties in the aspect of safety and the effects on the natural environment starting from production to its liquidation. We are constantly striving to reduce the costs of materials used while increasing the strength properties and the production of non-natural materials, e.g. composites. Among the modern materials appearing in the production of cars, a growing share of high-strength steels, plastics as well as light alloys based on aluminum and magnesium is observed. This article presents selected materials and technologies used in the automotive industry from the point of view of their impact on safety and environmental protection.
