Biodegradable waste management

could gain some knowledge on biodegradable, compostable, and decomposable objects. I believe that learning more about biodegradable, compostable, and decomposable objects may help to explain the law of conservation of mass. There are many types of decomposition. There is anaerobic…

smartphones we seem to replace or upgrade frequently, we waste a lot, which to some can seem deteriorating but in truth we can afford too. In Junkyard Planet By Adam Minter he breakdown how the junk we waste daily is a result of income in the U.S and how other countries like China utilize the waste we produce.

energy in a city powered by “tagged and logged” trash. In 2016, Basuratagalog produced 9,000 tons of trash daily. Considerable waste composed of plastic formed mountains of trash, polluted Manila Bay and the Pasig River Delta. Gangs of trash pickers, afflicted by heavy metal poisoning, lived in shanty towns. Gas-guzzling garbage trucks, supposedly traversing barangays daily, skipped routes, leaving litter-covered roads behind. Garbage landslides and fires caused by seasonal rain and trash…

and industrial development, the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is monumental for sustainable development, because all human activities generate waste. This has significant impact on the environment (hazardous gas emissions), economy (disposal cost) and health (DEFRA, 2011). About 3 billion tonnes of MSW are generated in Europe annually (EC, 2010). Fig 1.1 shows the municipal waste generation by EU countries expressed in kilogram per capital for year 2003 and 2013. While Fig 1.2, shows…

the earth in the form of toxic wastes, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and noise. He states that the earth is an ecosystem and demonstrates how human beings, industries, and other facilities pollute the earth which is a closed ecosystem. He further states that most of pollution comes from human beings but not big factories and power plants that everyone thinks. This takes place in the form of small vehicle engines, the noise that people make and lawn mower. All these are referred to as…

Almost 20 percent more food…

Food waste is becoming a huge problem in developed countries. The U.S. National Resource Defense Council found that 150 billion dollars’ worth of food is wasted as it ends up rotting in American landfills, and produces methane which is a powerful chemical compound that is 20 times more damaging than green house gas. Canada is also one of the leading food waste countries as the Value Chain Management International estimates that Canadians waste more than 31 billion dollars of edible food each…

he fuel that is burned at the incinerator site at Runcorn is pre-treated refuse derived fuel (RDF). (1) This type of fuel is made from industrial and commercial non-recyclable waste. This is reduces the amount of waste that reaches landfills. This site also produces huge amounts of energy which generates up to 70MW of electricity and 51 MW of heat. This will reduce the dependence of fossil fuels. This is an example of transmaterialisation as it’s the transition from fossil to renewable…
