Awareness of solid waste reduction programs is the priority in institutions of higher learning nowadays for a greener environment, thus brought about the issues of 3r's (reduce, reuse and recycle) practice by all the waste generator within Urban and Higher educational institutions (HEIs) around the globe. Integrated solid waste management hierarchy was adopted to enlighten the waste generators to use them in 3r's critical success factor as a substantial method to deal with the situation, given priority to the waste reduction. This paper highlight the awareness method of 3r's and interdependent nature of the higher education institution's environment, as these can result in cost avoidance, and enhance the systematic practice and lessen environmental impacts for effective and efficient solid waste management in HEI's.

This research aims at investigating the interrelationships between critical success factors (CSFs) in municipal solid waste management (MSWM) projects taken up in public–private partnership (PPP) mode in India and studies the extent to which they can affect project success. A three-step procedure was followed to identify the CSFs in MSWM. A conceptual structural equation model (SEM) was developed using cluster groupings of the identified CSFs to show their interrelationships. Data collection from the public sector and private sector waste management managers was done through a questionnaire survey. The respondents’ data were analysed in analysis of moment structures (AMOS) using structural equation modelling. The SEM analysis of the respondents’ data gives the most exemplary fitting measurement model with the 17 CSFs taken as components of five latent variables: external environment, financial characteristics, project planning and procurement, project operation and management and project stakeholders. The model shows the relationships between the constructs of CSFs for project success. This study contributes to current ideas by empirically identifying the interrelationships between the MSWM CSFs, which can help waste management professionals handle the CSFs rationally. Furthermore, the study shows that all the groups have a direct and positive impact on project success. The findings may only portray the opinion of solid waste management managers in India.

Bandar Lampung City is part of the major city of Lampung province. The problem that arises in Bandar Lampung City is solid waste management. The amount of solid waste in Bandar Lampung City reaches 1000 tons/day. One of the district  of Bandar Lampung named Kedamaian district still uses the old method (collecting-transport-throw) in solid waste management, which  causes the load of waste to accumulate in the landfill. The constraints encountered  this time are the absence of sorting locations  and limited land. Kedamaian district needs to develop waste  treatment facilities, an approach based on  Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). The results show  from the analysis that BCR in the scenario A <1 is 0.85 with NPV - Rp. 72.968.828. the  activity in the existing conditions can still be carried out, but the waste reduction has not been maximized to the TPS (Container). Scenario B, NPV is Rp. 95.319.338 and BCR is 1.13, which value of BCR is >1. This indicates that a waste processing facility  in the Kedamaian District is suitable to  operate  with TPS-3R. The results of scenario B are  obtained by increasing the effectiveness of processing facilities to 100% by  2025. In 2025, with the implementation of the TPS-3R obtained, BCR is 1.20 with NPV is Rp. 218.447.621.

The University

Of the entire problems related to environmental audit that have come into focus, institutional solid waste management has been the slowest to develop either in direction or regulatory mechanisms. In the absence of any specific regulatory directive, the institutions and especially the Universities have left waste management to the lower staff. There is no environmental management programme in any of the Universities in Odisha, India unlike most of the Universities abroad. This study examines the critical gaps in management through an audit of the solid waste of Ravenshaw University, Odisha. Results show that there is no framework in place for compliance of environmental laws. The top management of the University is not actively involved in directing the efforts. Even though the University generates 100.5 tons of waste per month only 37.5% of it is collected through regular municipality channels. Biodegradable waste constitute 82% of the total waste but is not used for energy recovery. There is no awareness among the students and faculty regarding sound practices. This paper attempts to provide a framework for policy and planning strategies relating to solid waste management in public and private educational institutions within the framework of Sustainable Integrated Solid Waste Management practices.

Household Waste Management

As rural and subsistence households in the Global South take on the consumption habits of industrialized countries, shifting consumption patterns have contributed to cascades of nonbiodegradable solid waste overwhelming the ability of households, municipal authorities, and governments to manage. As global capitalism expands around the world, spiritual ecology approaches to waste and pollution can provide deeper insight into the attitudes and practices that create a “throw away” society. In rural southern Bhutan, the revered Buddhist teacher, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, initiated a waste reduction project based on Bhutan’s guiding development philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Through engaging cultural and spiritual values, and drawing on the inspirational qualities of social and spiritual leaders, the Samdrup Jongkhar Initiative’s Zero Waste project is an example of spiritual ecology activism for household waste management and waste reduction.

The Relationship

The problem of establishing an effective solid waste management system is complex and still unresolved in Serbian municipalities, cities and settlements. Most landfills in Serbia do not meet basic sanitary standards and can often contain waste that is dangerous to human, plant and animal health, and waste that can be recycled is often dumped. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between waste generation and private investments in waste management. Statistical method of multiple linear regression was used to examine the impact of three predictors - economic development, investments in waste management, and urban population, on the dependent variable - municipal solid waste generation. The results of the research reveal that investments in waste management in Serbia do not have an effect on the waste reduction because the financial resources for such investments are not adequately managed. There is a large number of scientific researches that have dealt with the analysis of the mentioned relationship, however, their number on the example of Serbia is rather scarce. The results of the research could be useful to the state administrations of the Republic of Serbia.

This chapter will provide an overview of waste management in Vietnam, including drivers, the current waste management situation, impacts, an institutional framework, issues, and challenges. There have been improvements in the last 10 years. However, waste management in Vietnam continues to face issues and constraints related to inefficient waste reduction, a national level efforts to implement separation at the source, environmental pollution caused by informal sector recycling efforts, and 70% to 75% of municipal solid waste in landfills. These issues are caused by incomplete legislation, inadequate financial resources, weak enforcement and implementation efforts, and low stakeholder awareness. Based on the analysis, several recommendations are provided for future improvement.
