Due largely to economic development, industrialization, and changing lifestyles, quantity of hazardous waste in India is rising significantly. This is particularly true in mega cities, where populations are large and growing. Due to a range of factors including limitations in governance systems, inadequate treatment facilities, limitations in compliance and regulation, and limited trained and skilled stakeholders, the management of hazardous solid waste in the country is largely ineffective. One exception to this is the State of Gujarat, which has sought to implement a number of strategies to better manage the rising quantities of hazardous solid waste being produced. This article highlights the management of solid waste in the country for an effective mitigation of various hazards. Further, this article focused on adaptive technologies for the hazardous waste management all over the country more specifically in the state of Gujarat.

A review on the sources, current status and related disposal technology of industrial hazardous waste (IHW) in domestic and overseas. The diverse and complicated sources of current solid waste were analyzed. Based on the current researches on the disposal technology and management of IHW, approaches for the development of the solid waste disposal technology was recommended. According to this research, the government should increase the investment to introduce advanced disposal technology and management from abroad, and improve the level of disposal facilities.

Compliance With The Law

Several Southeastern Oklahoma towns located in the Kiamichi Economic Development District (KEDDO) are not currently in compliance with the Oklahoma Solid Waste Management Act of 1970. The act requires that all incorporated cities and towns adequately dispose of solid wastes generated within incorporated limits. Most areas of the state were granted extensions until July 1975, to operate landfill facilities in accordance with state requirements. Some large towns have collection and disposal systems, but many smaller towns have no service or partial service. A few are not in compliance with the law.

Set Up

The fast economic development and urbanization caused rapid increase of waste generation worldwide. Oman produced 1.5 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2012 which is expected to elevate to 1.89 million tons in 2030. This rapid increase needs to be tackled to reduce the generation rates along with the environmental impacts it imposes. Currently in Oman other than recycling there are no treatment facilities, and therefore dumping waste into the landfill is the only and ultimate way to dispose solid waste. Thus this research aims present the process and specific aspects of Waste-To-Energy (WTE) technologies and determine the suitable technology for Oman depending on its waste composition and characteristics. In conclusion, the waste characteristics shows the potential to set up a WTE technology in Oman which will help to reduce the amount of waste, greenhouse gas emissions, developing and maintaining costs of landfills, and tackle the issue of portable water by using the produced energy for seawater desalination.

Hazardous Solid Waste

A hazardous waste station must be designed following Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number P.12 of 2020 concerning the Storage of Hazardous Waste so as not to cause environmental impacts. The purpose of this design is to improve the design criteria for the hazardous waste station in accordance with applicable regulations. The type and volume of hazardous waste storage have jerry can shape in 60 and 30-liter volumes, HDPE drum, and pallet.  Each container is equipped with a symbol and label.  Hazardous liquid waste and hazardous solid waste are designed with the dimensions of 10.66m x 8.2m and 8.65m x 8.2m.  Each is equipped with coordinate, spill kit, fire extinguisher, pallet, shower & eyewash, and container.  The new design of hazardous waste selected has met the requirements in the regulation, safe from outside interference and environmental impacts.
