The transportation cost problem of solid waste presents the biggest part of the budget allocated by municipalities for SWM. So, there is no comprehensive plan to address transport routes optimization problems in SWM that including the transfer of solid waste from transfer stations to final landfill sites. Therefore, the aim of the study finding a scientific method to solve the transportation problem of solid waste transport suitable Baghdad city that tries to find feasible solutions that ensure reducing total transport costs and leads to an effective solid waste management system. In this research, a new methodology has been developed to select the optimal transport routs of SWM in Baghdad city which involves determining the best-supposed scenario. the proposed methodology includes integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies with Network Analysis model (NA). Therefore, this work provides an advanced framework of decision-makers for analysis and simulation of the optimal transport routs problem related to SWM. Applying these modeling tools to select the scenario that can provide economic benefits by minimizing travel time, travel distance and reduction of total transportation costs. The Results of work implementation show that all solutions that include current state S1 and suggested scenarios have been evaluated. The scenarios generated include (S2, S3) by applying the proposed technique for analyzed and identified the optimal routes. The solutions of scenario S2, specified with two landfill sites while scenarios S3 specified with four landfill sites. Finally, this work shows the Scenario S3 is the best scenario of the solution, that include applied GPS and Network Analysis for four landfill sites.

Plastic solid waste management is amongst the most menacing issue covered across the globe. Plastic is the material with multiple usages, replacement of plastic is a solution to reduce plastic based pollution but this is not possible in order to gather the needs of humans. Natural resources are depleting worldwide at the same time the generated wastes are expanding substantially. The usage of plastic when looking to its degradation rate has calamitous difference, at present the conversion of plastic into cement can provide an upgrade to environment as well as economic benefits. In this present study the Plastic waste management was done at educational institution in order to manage the huge amount of plastic waste generated everyday by the affiliates.Utilization of plastic waste in preparation of paved blocks originated from the known mechanisms for production of bricks and fly ash blocks. Plastic serves as a bonding agent when heated. Soil serves as binding agent when mixed with melted plastic. Properties of sandy soil shows that after heating it changes the colour, becomes non-sticky, has no effect of weather, compressive strength increases and surface becomes hard. The method used in this study for preparation of blocks from plastic was hypothesized form the technique of production of bricks in which soil is mixed with bonding clay. Sandy soil and clay mixture serves good quality by providing less shrinkage. The aim of this study is to manage plastic waste from depleting the environment.

Rapidly developing rural tourism in the vast rural areas brings economic benefits and also produces waste increment; at the same time, with the improvement of living standards, the increase of waste in rural areas is not low, which has become an essential issue of ecological, environmental protection. This paper discusses China’s rural tourism development, the difficulties of domestic waste management in rural tourism areas and puts forward suggestions for improvement based on analysis.

The waste generation increases along with the increase of population and then the percentage of waste services is increasing every year so the capacity of Sukoharjo landfill becomes decreasing. While to find a suitable location for new landfill sites that are completed requirements of regulation is difficult. It is needed some actions to extend the lifetime of Sukoharjo landfill, one of them is application 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) mechanism in waste management. This study aims to analyze the lifetime of Sukoharjo landfills with the mechanism of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle (3R). The method used in this research is quantitative and qualitative methods. Based on the calculation, the landfill only available until 2022. The existence of composting and recycling of anorganic waste, landfill lifetime will extend until 2025. Our results show that there is a significant comparison of the volume waste in landfills between untreated incoming trash with treated by Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) mechanism. By 2028, the waste generation in a landfill will be 24,821,724 kg. During composting (30%) and recycling of anorganic waste (15%), the volume of waste in landfill is reduced to 14,401,796 kg.

Sustainability is now accepted by all stakeholders as a guiding principle for both public policy making and corporate strategies. However, the biggest challenges are still in the real and substantial implementation of the sustainability concept. The Motorcycle Tire Manufacturing Industry produces a by-product in the form of solid waste Polypropylene Fabric which is produced from one of its production processes, namely the Calendering process. Therefore, efforts need to be made to manage the waste resulting from the production process to become something more valuable so that a better level of eco-efficiency can be obtained. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of eco-efficiency of Polypropylene Fabric solid waste treatment produced from the calendering process and provide recommendations in an effort to improve the value of eco-efficiency. The quantitative method is used to calculate the efficiency of polypropylene fabric solid waste management that can still be taken from the waste. Based on the results of laboratory calculations and checks it was found that there was an eco-efficiency value of 30% for the reuse of waste polypropylene cloth and there were economic benefits of Rp. 355,877,264 in 2018 (based on forecasting the addition of waste in the future).

The study aims to focuses on waste-to-energy and especially its current status and benefits, with regard to GHG, renewable energy production and slurry management based on an experience in Nepal. An environment pollution and climate change happened due to green house gases (GHG) emission. As we know that the most of the anthropogenic emission of GHG results from the combustion of fossil fuels but we should also know that environmental concerns such as waste management also contribute for Global Warming. The solid waste management is based on an understanding of MSWs composition and physiochemical characteristics. The results show that organic matter represents 69% of waste, followed by paper-cardboard 7%, plastic 8%, miscellaneous 13%, metal 1% and glass 2%. The major source of GHG from landfill sites which produce significant methane and carbon dioxide gas. The main impact of the methane is on global scale, as a greenhouse gas. Although levels of methane in the environment are relatively low, its high “global warming potential” (21 times that of carbon dioxide) rank it amongst the worst of green house gases. The main cause to increase atmospheric temperature due to highly production of GHG (CH4, CO2 & N2O etc). GHG mitigation measure in the waste include source reduction through waste prevention, recycling, composting, waste to energy incineration and methane capture from landfills and waste water. Specific mitigation option include use of 3R principle; waste segregation, reduction at source; composting anaerobic digestion for biogas; sanitary landfill sites with methane capture; healthcare waste management; proper statutory framework; public participation; private sector partnership; tax waiver for recycling enterprises; and financial management. Regulation is required to ban of recyclable waste in landfill.
