Technical Landfills and Waste Management Volume 1: Landfill Impacts, Characterization and Valorisation by Abdelkader Anouzla, Salah Souabi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 274 Pages | ISBN : 3031526325 | 34.2 MB

A "zero waste" society and the "circular economy" trend are urgently needed. Even if achieving 100% trash recycling and a fully circular economy may not always be attainable, aiming toward this goal might result in a sustainable future. Municipal solid wastes pose a hazard to the environment because of open burning, landfills, reckless disposal, and many other factors. Waste is being thrown away in more significant quantities and is made up of several different materials. Municipal solid waste (MSW) characteristics must be carefully considered when developing, implementing, or modifying solid waste management systems. Local waste variables that vary with cultural, climatic, socioeconomic, and institutional capacities are crucial for developing efficient waste management techniques.

Plastic Waste Trade: A New Colonialist Means of Pollution Transfer

Plastic Waste Trade: A New Colonialist Means of Pollution Transfer

Plastic Waste Trade: A New Colonialist Means of Pollution Transfer by Sedat Gündoğdu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 312 Pages | ISBN : 3031513576 | 43.9 MB

This contributed volume takes a holistic view of the international waste trade and in doing so argues that the transfer of plastic waste from mainly Global North to primarily Global South countries constitutes a form of 21st Century colonialism. The book first describes the history of the plastic waste trade, from toxic disasters in the 1970s and 1980s through the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal in 1989 through China’s 2018 implementation of a “National Sword” policy that effectively banned importation of plastic waste. From there, the authors explore both the legal trade in plastic waste and the underground illegal trade in waste, arguing that both lead to devastating impacts on ecosystems, workers, and communities in receiving countries and highlighting how countries that receive waste are often less equipped to process it than the countries that export waste. The last section of the book presents cases from countries on the receiving end of the plastic waste trade, highlighting inherent problems from sociological and environmental justice perspectives.

Natural Dyes and Sustainability by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 358 Pages | ISBN : 3031474708 | 33.5 MB

Natural dyes offer a time-tested and generally more sustainable alternative to synthetic dyes in the textile industry. The issues surrounding synthetic dyes are well-known, and in the literature it is generally accepted that natural dyes have a smaller environmental impact. However, even natural dyes have issues that must be dealt with in order to ensure sustainability in the industry. For example, the mordants needed to improve the dyeing process may release hazardous heavy metal pollutants when used. This book is dedicated to exploring cases such as this that illustrate the benefits and drawbacks to natural dyes and steps that must be taken for their sustainable use in the textile industry.

Environmental Protection and Disaster Risks: Proceeding of the 2nd International Conference on Environmental Protection and Disaster Risks and 10th Annual CMDR COE Conference on Crisis Management and Disaster Response by Nina Dobrinkova, Orlin Nikolov
English | PDF | 2023 | 376 Pages | ISBN : 3031267532 | 114.28 MB

This book presents topics that are challenging fields that scientific world is trying to address as much as it can. Earthquakes, floods, fires, droughts, blizzards, dust storms, natural releases of toxic gases and liquids, diseases, and other environmental variations affect hundreds of millions of people each year. Many disaster events are triggered by human activities. Dealing with these problems will require systems thinking and integrating multidisciplinary science. Actions in these directions are taken more and more in the recent years by political bodies, NGOs, and scientific groups trying to find sustainable solutions for the future generations. Every point of view matters when it comes to our global home—The Planet Earth.

Design for a Sustainable Circular Economy: Research and Practice Consequences by Gavin Brett Melles, Christian Wölfel
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 (2024 Edition) | 236 Pages | ISBN : 981997531X | 16.7 MB

This multi-authored book aims to illustrate the social, economic, and ecological factors that should determine and be determined by design in the implementation of a sustainable circular economy and society. We take design to refer to a continuum of perspectives and applications from industrial design to policy design, and this broad perspective invites theoretical and methodological contributions from a range of fields. In addition to bringing scholarly diversity to circularity, we expand and challenge the mainstream circular economy narrative of material efficiencies and green growth to include the demands of inclusive growth and ecological boundaries consistent with sustainable development. Readers from within and beyond design, conscious of the limitations of circular green growth will find new inspiration in this book regarding the nature of a sustainable circular economy and society and the broad design agenda that must be implemented to enable a just and informed circular transition.
