Waste management is a universal topic that applies to every living being on the planet. Decision makers create policies that affect everyday issues such as health, cleanliness, food and water, the environment in which we live. Poor waste management leads to the contamination of rivers, soil, air, and thus leads to infections, respiratory infections, cancer, heart and blood vessel diseases, and causes harm to animals that consume waste substances. Poor waste management also affects the economy, the exploitation of natural raw materials, tourism. For these reasons, it is necessary to initiate urgent actions and increase the awareness of individuals and society as a whole through education and understanding. Inadequately disposed of waste creates emissions of greenhouse gases. Also emitted into the atmosphere are hexavalent chlorine, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, furans, powdered substances and thousands of other chemicals that are carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic. Industrial waste management requires much more engagement because such waste also contains more substances that negatively affect the environment. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the amount of waste generated in Serbia and the capacities of the country to treat this waste is necessary. Also needed are changes in legislation which would benefit both citizens and industry, the strengthening of administrative capacities within the waste management system and information sharing.

One of the objectives of industrial waste management is to reduce the amount of waste and to ensure its reuse in a way that allows notable improvement of resource efficiency. Location of a waste treatment plant is a strategic issue that require careful logistics system planning. The aim of this article is to create a model for solving the locationallocation problem of waste (i..e. secondary raw materials) treatment facilities, taking into account the territorial distribution, the type, and the quantity of secondary raw materials, the distance between waste-generating industries, as well as the CO 2 emissions from transport of secondary raw materials. The basic principle for defining a mathematical model is minimization of CO emissions from transport-related activities; 2 for this reason, modeling is based on the p median model that has been modified and put within the context of industrial waste management, including CO emissions from 2 transport. The location model is based on common industrial waste streams and CO 2 emissions from vehicles commonly used to transport secondary raw materials from generators to facilities. The verification of the model was performed through a case study that included the region of southeast Serbia. It confirmed usefullness of the proposed model for deciding on optimal locations for new industrial waste treatment plants.

The objective of this paper is to present an evaluation method that can aid decision to prioritize and select industrial waste management method. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) decision structure approaches to measure the relative desirability of disposal alternatives using value judgments as the input of the various stakeholders. The novel of this paper is a flexible analytical program that enables decision makers to find the best possible industrial waste management solution to complex problems by breaking down a problem into a systematic hierarchy structure among the various levels and attributes. The process of the evaluation method has been started from analyzing various factors which are used for designs the decision making structure.It is included with necessary data for consideration of management alternatives design that comprised of the technology, economics, environment, and also related regulations. The benefits of this method therefore may not only aid in selecting the best alternative but also help decision makers to understand why an alternative is preferred over the other options. A case study in Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), recommendations, limitations, and further research are also presented.

Industrial Waste Management is one of the serious problems in the era of industrialization. Therefore waste management must be handled early during the production process. This means that the waste treatment process must be carried out from upstream to downstream. This study aims to build a waste management optimization model with quantitative analysis conducted through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews that combine the results of producer and consumer interviews. The results showed that there are many aspects related to waste from the tofu industry in the Abian Body Village, so it made waste optimization very important.

The study, entitled "The Effect of Community Relations conducted by the management of PT Ecco Indonesia toward Tenggulunan community’s Understanding on Industrial Waste Management" aims to determine the effect of community relations conducted by the management of PT Ecco Indonesia toward the Understanding of people living in the vicinity of the company on industrial waste generated. This quantitative study used a sample of 95 respondents. The research data were then analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results show that 1) the community relations was done well enough by the management of PT Ecco Indonesia (67.3%), 2) the public's understanding on industrial waste of PT Ecco Indonesia is also quite good (68.8%), 3) there is an effect of community relations of management of PT Ecco Indonesia toward the understanding of people living in Tenggulunan on industrial waste management, 4) the accepted hypothesis shows that that there is a significant relationship between community relations done by the management of PT Ecco Indonesia with public awareness about waste management industry amounted to 81,5%.

Waste management in Tunisia is currently one of the priorities of environmental protection and is one of the main pillars of sustainable development. Thus, Tunisia has opted for a comprehensive and progressive policy of environmental protection in order to manage with the current state of the object affected by the strong economic growth and the environment rapid urban expansion in recent years. The area of ​​waste management has received attention currently given the quantity produced changes in the multiplicity of forms and aspects of pollution caused by waste, and limited resources used in the field of solid waste management. During this, our research has been devoted to the study of the phenomenon of industrial waste management by recycling in Tunisia. We employ a model based on a time series analysis model for a period of 17 years from 2000 to 2016. Additionally, we estimate the ability to manage industrial waste recycling based on variables related to the business of recycling industrial waste, variables related to the intervention of Tunisia policy in the management of industrial waste recycling and macroeconomic indicators. From the empirical findings, we conclude that the macro-economic indicators have a negative impact on the dependent variable. The variables related to the intervention of Tunisia policy in industrial waste management through recycling have a positive impact and a negative impact depending on the nature of the waste. And finally, the variable relative to the activity of recycling industrial waste TRDI has a positive impact and DIG variable has a negative impact.
