The construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) management in Taiwan has been of a major concern due to potentially high risk to the environment. Past annual statistics indicated the number of construction firms regulated by Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration rose from 241 to 8,677 from 2005 to 2011, and their total amount of discharge increased from 110,922.79 tons/year to 1,575,882.30 tons/year; of which, 99.88% were general industrial waste, and 0.12% was hazardous industrial waste. Most of the waste was of the mixed waste of construction and demolition (32.58 - 66.35%), followed by the mixed waste of earthwork or construction (13.14 - 38.08%). In future years, Taiwan is seeing a large amount of C&DW and a low supply of construction-related or natural materials, thus if C&DW could be utilized in a more efficient manner, the issue of secondary environmental pollution would not only be solved but the goal of turning Taiwan into a “recycle-oriented society” where there is “zero waste” could also be achieved. Therefore, the management system and tracking of C&DW have received much research attention in recent years.

The basic principle of Pro Silva silviculture is to be multifunctional and to seek to combine into a harmonious whole all the benefits provided by the forest. It is thus a management system constantly adapted to follow the evolution of different needs and requirements. On the occasion of the International Year of Biodiversity, it is here explained why this form of management meets in an optimal manner the interests of biodiversity without however pushing into the background the other functions, in particular carbon management. Intrinsically it corresponds to the principles of sustainable management, maintaining the balance between economic, social and ecological interests.

Over the decades the palm oil industry has managed some challenging environmental concerns regarding land transformation and degradation, increase in eutrophication, changing habitats of wildlife, pesticides runoff into inland watercourses, and probable climate change. Countries producing palm oil desire to do so in a more sustainable way that will leave the environment evergreen. Therefore this paper aims to encourage sustainable management of agro-industrial waste and its potential in making financial returns from the same waste. Hence, the study was conducted with the participation of seven local palm oil mills having different capacities and operation age. Attention was given to milling waste as they could cause serious environmental menace if unattended to properly. Milling waste includes lignocellulosic palm biomass namely the empty fruit bunches (EFB), oil palm shell (OPS), mesocarp fibres, palm oil mill effluent (POME), and palm oil mill sludge (POMS), as well as solid waste generated from the further processing of these biomass into the palm oil fuel ashes (POFA) and palm oil clinkers (POC). The opportunities available to the Malaysian palm oil industry and the financial benefits which may accrue from waste generated during palm oil production process cannot be over emphasized.

Environmental pollution is one of the major concerns throughout the world. The rise of industrialization has increased the generation of waste materials, causing environmental degradation and threat to the health of living beings. To overcome this problem and effectively handle waste materials, proper management skills are required. Waste as a whole is not only waste, but it also holds various valuable materials that can be used again. Such useful materials or elements need to be segregated and recovered using sustainable recovery methods. Agricultural waste, industrial waste, and household waste have the potential to generate different value-added products. More specifically, the industrial waste like fly ash, gypsum waste, and red mud can be used for the recovery of alumina, silica, and zeolites. While agricultural waste like rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, and coconut shells can be used for recovery of silica, calcium, and carbon materials. In addition, domestic waste like incense stick ash and eggshell waste that is rich in calcium can be used for the recovery of calcium-related products. In agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors, several raw materials are used; therefore, it is of high economic interest to recover valuable minerals and to process them and convert them into merchandisable products. This will not only decrease environmental pollution, it will also provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach for materials synthesis. These value-added materials can be used for medicine, cosmetics, electronics, catalysis, and environmental cleanup.

Waste Management Practices

Protecting the occupational environment is a top priority in manufacturing of any kind of products and provision of various types of services. Environmental protection plays a significant role in the mining industry, as increasing extraction of minerals involves growing amounts of waste and environmental pollution. In 2019 alone, industrial waste generation in the Russian Federation peaked at 7.75 billion tonnes. AZOTTECH LLC is currently handling industrial waste associated with the production and use of chemicals for drilling and blasting operations, scrap from machine-building plants, etc. The article reports on the volumes of industrial waste of each hazard class for 2019-2020 and provides a forecast of the volumes for 2021. The reduction in volumes has been achieved through the implementation of a waste management system. In addition, the paper presents statistics on the reduction in the disposal costs, calculated according to the tariffs of each region where the company's subsidiaries are located. An analysis of the factors reducing the volume and cost of waste management has been performed. Upon implementation of the waste management structure, the costs decreased by 2.5 times, and the amount of waste was reduced by two times.

Suggestions for the development of theoretical and methodological foundations of system management of energy efficiency and environmental pollution by road transport in the life cycle are given. It takes into account all essential areas covering transportation, infrastructure, maintenance, also energy, chemical and automotive industries, raw material extraction, utilization, and related processes of energy consumption and environmental pollution, distributed in space and time. A universal structural scheme of the “supersystem” is proposed, which reflects the processes of consumption of energy, material and other resources, distributed environmental pollution through the functioning of road transport and related industries, and linked damage as well. The target function of the “supersystem” can be represented as the fulfilment during a certain period (covering the life cycle of the main elements – objects of influence (regulation) and investment of financial resources) of the specified volumes of certain types of transport work with the minimum possible and economically justified consumption of energy, consumables, materials, other resources (including those consumed by the transportation, infrastructure, maintenance, also energy, chemical and automotive industries, raw material extraction, utilization), the minimum possible losses due to artificial pressure on the recipients (human beings, fauna and flora, buildings, etc.) of directly the transport system and infrastructure, as well as side effects of processes in other elements of the “supersystem”, that may be reduced to the total cost of transport, taking into account the inflation index of monetary units. It is proposed to carry out a mathematical description of complicated sets, dynamically distributed in the space of objects that change the structure and properties over time, based on the further development of such a tool as the theory of multisets. In a simplified form, it is presented an example of a fragment of the management system based on measures to regulate the first access of vehicles to the market, further operation, and to certain elements of infrastructure, with the introduction of low emission zones in cities. The development, creation and effective functioning of the management system of transport and related sectors of the economy in those mentioned above and other parts, requires a coherent system approach based on forecasting (modelling) the consequences of decisions, which can be implemented using the tools described in this article. Keywords: wheeled vehicles, road transport, systems management, energy efficiency, environmental pollution.
