Considering the cost of fuel, it is the need of the hour for the utilization of waste as a fuel source. Leaf litter waste and floral waste biomass present in the surrounding serve as potential materials in bio-briquettes formulation. Leaf litter wastes (Almond leaves, Ashoka leaves, Cluster fig leaves), and floral wastes such as (Marigold, Tuberose, and Rose) was used for the study. The waste was microbially treated usingLactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 and Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 14869 for rapid decomposition of wastes. The briquettes were formulated using wet briquetting, manual pressure, and cylindrical mould methods. Paper pulp along with wheat bran at a 35:5 ratio was used as an artificial binding agent. The preliminary analysis includes the contents of moisture, volatile matter, ash, fixed carbon, etc. Bio briquettes were ultimately analyzed by FESEM, FT-IR, TGA, Density, and Calorific values. Comparisons were done using untreated lignocellulosic biomass-based briquettes and commercially available briquettes. Briquettes made from waste that has undergone microbial processing have a calorific value of 5968.20w kJ/Kg, a density of 0.26 kg/cm3, 8.4% moisture content, 10% volatile matter content, 13.65% ash content, 67.95% fixed carbon content, a maximum burning time of 17 minutes, and a minimum ignition time of 3 minutes. While the briquettes made from untreated waste have calorific value of 4205.10 kJ/Kg, density of 0.20 kg/cm3, 10.8% moisture content, 15% volatile matter content, 15.11% ash content, 59.05% fixed carbon content. This comparative study shows microbially treated bio briquettes can offer good agriculture waste management and new fuel opportunities.

Prior to adopting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Bangladesh achieved 100% access to sanitation by 2015 mostly by on-site sanitation systems (OSSs). The major drawbacks of the OSSs are the deposition of the Faecal Sludge (FS) underground and environmental pollution due to the indiscriminate disposal of FS. As an overpopulated country, 40% out of 162 million people live in urban areas. However, the national planning process; the Five-Year Planning (FY 2016-20) did not put emphasis on the Faecal Sludge Management (FSM). Major policies also did not address FSM though there are various policies relevant to promote safe sanitation. Against this backdrop, it is difficult to manage the second-generation sanitation challenge like FSM services for the enormously growing urban population. However, to achieve the target of sustainable sanitation (SDG 6.2), the country needs much attention to address the FSM services with a huge public investment to build necessary infrastructures and initiate service delivery by involving stakeholders. This study investigated the role of public finance in addressing urban FSM services in two urban centers: Dhaka and Faridpur. The current public financing addressed FSM service for 39% of inhabitants in Faridpur; while in Dhaka, FSM service is very negligible and Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) is facilitating only the emptying service by engaging the private enterprises and NGOs shows a resource gap for FSM financing. Lack of institutional coordination, role clarity on service delivery, service provisioning, capacity, leadership, and inappropriate resource sharing among the utilities are the key challenges. The study has drawn a set of public financing mechanisms to achieve urban FSM service.

The majority of developing nations experience significant water contamination from textile sector wastewater. The use of low-cost, environmentally friendly adsorbents has been researched as a means of addressing problems of water contamination and high costs for waste - water treatment processes. Malachite green is an incredibly dangerous colour that not only damages mammalian cells but also has a key influence in the growth of liver cancers. The life cycle of aquatic creatures, plants, and people is hampered by dye released into bodies of water without sufficient treatment. In this study, the powdered lemon leaves are utilized for removal of the aniline green dye. By using batch-style setting and design of the experiment (the Box– Behnken technique) adsorbent has been investigated & have been developed to evaluate the process's critical factors, including agitation time, size of adsorbent, dosage of adsorbent, pH, initial concentration and temperature. The acquired values were fitted with adsorption isotherms. Malachite green dye sequestration onto Lemon Leaf Powder was chosen using kinetic models. The results of the trials showed that employing powdered lemon leaves, malachite green could be removed to a maximum of 82.21%. Malachite green dye concentration of 50 mg/L, temp of solution 303 K, and dosage of adsorbent 20 g/L are the ideal parameters. Lemon leaf powders have a maximum sorption capacity (qmax) of 8.08 mg/g. The equilibrium was more accurately modelled using the Freundlich isotherm. When compared to other models, the data which fits the pseudo 2nd order kinetics model is better. Previously researchers had proved several low– cost materials such as wheat bran, marina alga, wood apple shell etc In the current work, to remove malachite green dyes the efficacy of citrus lemon leaves is thoroughly done. The operating parameters that are optimized include dye solution concentration, initial solution pH, sorbent dose, and temperature. Studies on thermodynamics have demonstrated that the adsorption process was endothermic & spontaneous.

Solid waste management has become a major public health and environmental concern in urban areas of Ethiopia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the status of the existing solid waste management and to assess the attitude and role of the community in Mettu town. In order to accomplish these objectives, both primary and secondary data were gathered and analyzed by descriptive statistics. The sample size included of 96 members of households, business owners, kebele leaders, municipal workers, solid waste collectors and health extension workers who were selected randomly. Based on the data that generated from the respondents municipal solid waste management system is very weak in terms of status, spatial coverage, community involvement, and solid waste management facility. Among 96 about 84 (87.5%) respondents are not satisfied with the existing solid waste management. The communities participate very careless to clean their front yards, street and see it as the responsibility of the municipality. This poor status of solid waste management is intensified by poor contribution of stakeholders. Therefore, the government should be engaged in awareness creation and training all communities and stakeholders to upgrade the existing low status of solid waste management services in Mettu town.

The core concept of Circular Economy (CE) in Agriculture is targeted towards better sustenance through higher use of renewable sources and facilitating the restoration and regeneration of system resources. However, dearth of effective crop-technology/ies that can ensure the above while sustaining crop yields; form the major bottleneck towards facilitation of CE in agriculture. The Safe and Sustainable' Clean Food' (CF) Model can perhaps serve as the best fit road map towards the objective. Driven by Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology this model focuses 'Plant Health Management' and utilizes the safe, cost-effective, waste bio-converted Novcom compost for Soil Health Management to deliver safe food, without crop loss and without raising the cost of production. The model when evaluated in respect of all the basic principles of circular agriculture; revealed its potential towards improving (by up to 19.5%) crop yield while reducing/ eliminating non-renewable inputs like chemical fertilizers and pesticides; that minimized the risk of pesticide residue in food (vegetables) by about 93%. Resource recycling through bioconversion of MSW/ landfill waste into safe compost improved soil quality by up to 27%. Most importantly, GHG Abatement of 6.4 to 11.7 kg CO2 -eq / kg food production, 64% increase in energy productivity, 16.7% higher employment generation, and about 19.7% increase in gross income (on an average); indicated that the CF Model delivered the very essence of CE in agriculture i. e., decoupling economic development from the linear dynamics of finite and non-renewable resource extraction, use, and disposal, while improving the access to safe and nutritious food for all.

School system represents an important outlet for waste generation and advancement of knowledge on waste management. The aim of the study was to improve knowledge, attitude and practices of solid waste management (SWM) among pupils of selected primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria. The study intended to find out what will be the effect of the intervention (training on solid waste management) on the knowledge, attitude and practice of the students towards solid waste recycling? A quasi-experimental study was conducted among pupils of two primary schools (public and private schools). Using validated questionnaire, information was collected to assess their knowledge, attitude and practices before and after intervention. Waste generated over a two-week period was characterised. A solid waste segregation stand was provided with all students trained on waste craftsmanship. Data were analysed at p=0.05. The post-intervention knowledge scores at increased from 5.3 ± 1.9 to 8.8+1.3 and 5.6 ± 2.4 to 9.1 ± 1.3 in public and private schools, respectively. The predominant waste materials in both schools were paper and nylon with mean weekly values of 5.3 ± 0.6 kg and 4.0 ± 0.4 kg in public school and 14.8 ± 0.2 kg and 8.6 ± 0.9 kg in private school. Plastic and organic waste had mean weekly values of 1.8 ± 0.0 kg and 0.5 ± 0.6 kg in public school and 2.9 ± 0.7 kg and 0.4 ± 0.3 kg in private school, respectively. Different crafts were made by the pupils from the components of waste generated. The intervention led to waste recycling and improved pupils' SWM knowledge, attitude and practices.

In this study, a simple recycling strategy for End-of-Life Tires (ELT) was described. The direct incorporation of a large-sized Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) as a major dispersed phase into the elastomer matrix was assisted by the promoter-induced mixing, which canceled the cost-consuming reclaiming step. A macro-dispersion of GTR in the mix was assessed via a surface roughness extent. This method allowed us to predict the behavior of the rubber compound. A nonuniform rough surface while the master step was converted to a smooth roll-processed web after re-milling. The processing steps were correlated with the fragmentation of GTR, partial interfacial adhesion, restoration of tack, and unsaturation. The sequential mixing generated a reasonable level of viscosity, building tack, and green strength. The structural integrity of the re-vulcanizates was provided with a higher curing temperature and was confirmed by the improved abrasion and tear resistance, retention of heat build-up, storage moduli values, and lower standard deviation compared to the unmodified GTR and neat NR/BR blends. The developed compounding and co-curing steps exhibit a practical way of GTR recycling using the standard mixer with lower operational and compound expenses, and the absence of toxic gas release.

Globally, waste is accepted as an emerging issue and it concerns everyone, locally, nationally, and globally. However, studies on waste generation, composition, and management systems are often focused on urban areas. Similarly, Bhutan lacks information and reliable data about rural household solid waste generation and its composition at large and there is vague information on its management systems. This paper presents precise information on waste generation, composition, and management systems in rural areas in three administrative units called Gewogs namely Khatoed, Semjong, and Phangkhar under Gasa, Tsirang, and Zhemgang districts respectively. These study areas are located in different regions of the country with varying geographic locations, natural resources, altitudes, cultural diversity, lifestyles, and consumption patterns. The study envisioned narrowing the data gap, creating a yardstick for similar studies to be undertaken henceforth, and delivering sufficient and reliable information for informed decision-making for the successful progression of waste prevention and management programs to achieve"Zero Waste Bhutan", the vibrant vision of the country towards attaining zero waste society. On average, each household generated about 0.17 kg per day in the study areas and the per capita waste generation was 0.039 kg, 0.037 kg, and 0.032 kg a day in Khatoed, Semjong, and Phangkhar Gewogs respectively. On average, at least 72.9% practiced reduction, 86.8% reported that they reused, and 29.4% practiced recycling in their daily lives. At least 95.7%, 73.7%, and 82.1% of the household under Semjong, Phangkhar, and Khatoed Gewogs respectively practiced waste segregation into wet and dry at the source.

The concentration of pollutants has risen to unsafe levels in environment due to industrial, mining and agricultural processes leading to disposal of waste materials. Nickel ion is one of the heavy metal pollutants from power plants, metal fabrication facilities, and waste incinerators are the main sources of nickel ion's discharge into the environment. Even at very low concentrations, nickel ions in drinking water can cause serious kidney, lung, and cardiovascular diseases. Even though several heavy metal removal techniques like chemical precipitation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, electrodialysis, nanofiltration etc., are available. Adsorption became one of the most successful technologies for removing dangerous chemicals from water because it is simple, affordable, efficient, and flexible. So far several materials were used as adsorbents for the removal of different pollutants in water. In this study, one of the common construction waste material, red brick was used as an adsorbent to remove nickel ion from water. It is cheap and easily available. The adsorbent capacity is examined using nonflow batch process for the red brick adsorbent with varying nickel initial concentrations. The max percentage removal of 95% was achieved at optimum pH-7, 30 minutes of contact time, 1.5 g of adsorbent dosage and particle size of 41.5 microns. Adsorption process is verified for equilibrium and kinetic studies.

The State of New Jersey (The State) established yearly waste reduction and recycling goals that target recycling 50% of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Type 10 (ID# 10) waste and 60% of the entire waste stream. In order to assist the State with meeting the waste reduction and recycling goals, the project team performed a yearlong waste stream composition study, including physical inspection and assessment of the individual constituents, to create reliable, upto-date ID #10 MSW data by a percentage of total MSW weight. Identifying the source of the waste stream as rural (population density less than 500 people/sq. mile), suburban (population density between 500 to 1999 people/sq. mile), urban (population density is 2000 or more people /sq. mile) is critical for understanding the waste generation trends of these residential areas. Study revealed that food waste, plastic waste and compostable paper are the highest weight percentage components of residential and commercial ID#10 MSW. The study is a comprehensive analysis which can serve as an efficient decision-making tool.
