Aim of this research is to analyze European Union countries' solid waste data and to make a relation between waste management system and types of waste in terms of geographic location, socioeconomic and scientific-technologic perception for each region. According to common belief in society, the more the income the more the knowledge brings in which people should generate less domestic waste. In other words, if a country is economically developed, then its people must be taught well and know how not to generate more domestic waste. First thing to be considered in this article is to conclude that belief in any ways. Another point is by using European Union Statistics Office’s data, namely EuroStat, analyzing each countries’ waste source is observed in this article.That is to say, by knowing a countries’ production area, energy resource types, cultural behaviour, agriculture and other socioeconomic structure, an analyze result is aimed to be provided in this research for observing produced waste and their resource. By analyzing the socioeconomic structures in numbers, one can predict the future waste data by understanding the correlation. It is becoming more important to predict waste generation nowadays because as mentioned in this article, not all the countries have enough land to apply landfilling process which is both infficient in terms of economic reasons and disrespectful against the nature. Since waste management is a fact that needs to be handled depending on how wastes are generated; thus, socioeconomic struce, precise prediction methods are required for determining the best option. In this research European Union data is mostly considered and analyzed because Turkey is included in that data research for years. One must understand that all these data belong to 2018 because each data is collected twice a year and provided 2 years after. Thus, 2018 data is the most recent one which is released in October 2020 according to EuroStat Statistics Explained.

An effective waste management system is, and has always been, essential infrastructure, particularly given the potential for waste to adversely impact the surrounding environment. In recent decades, however, there has been growing awareness of the scale, breadth and immediacy of those adverse impacts, and of the unsustainability of the enormous (and increasing) amount of waste society generates. Governments around the world have mobilised and there has been a widespread shift towards policies promoting circular economies, waste minimisation and maximised resource efficiency. Singapore is a case in point; despite having a traditionally high waste output and a waste management system dependent on waste incineration as the primary means of disposal, Singapore has committed to a zero waste future. This article presents a review of domestic waste management policy and law in Singapore. Several gaps in the legal framework are identified and considered against the broader context, leading to the conclusion that there is a material environmental vulnerability in the legal framework that should be redressed in order to entrench environmental protections and to align the law with Singapore's policy ambitions. Notwithstanding this deficiency, it is hard not to be optimistic about the future of domestic waste management in Singapore, as the government has made an ambitious policy commitment and appears to be pursuing it with vigour.

Abstract Increasing the amount of waste generation is a problem in every city. This research aims to know the waste transportation and management system to analyze its compliance with the applicable national and local regulations in Indonesia. Demak Regency produced 208 kg/day of waste which this number represent 35.18% of waste generated in Demak Regency from domestic and non domestic sector. The waste is transported and not sorted at sources, as the same with many other cities in Indonesia. Therefore, a proper waste management system is needed for Demak Regency that includes five aspects, which include technical, institutional, financial, regulation, and community aspects. The Environmental Agency of Demak Regency is the institution in charge of waste management in Demak Regency. The analysis shows that improvements are needed to achieve appropriate waste management system in Demak Regency. Therefore, efforts should be made to improve waste management in the Regency, for example, by improving technical performance, human resources, and promoting community-based waste management in the studied area.

This paper aims to create an image of progress towards circular economy registered by European Union countries through specific indicators. In this way, this paper is based on the study and analysis of the 13 indicators, grouped on 4 pillars: Production and consumption, Waste management, Secondary raw materials, Competitiveness and innovation. After the presentation of the methodology, the paper develops an analysis in time and space of the selected indicators, then an analysis of the countries with their grouping on clusters, creating a map of them and highlighting the current situation of circular economy in the European Union. Moreover, the paper also presents the evolution of the countries regarding circular economy, which has a big importance taking into account that in the European Union the preoccupations for this concept is higher from one period to another. Among the most interesting results are: (1) a massive concentration of countries with problems for Waste management pillar; (2) Europe is one of the regions with the largest contribution in terms of circular economy, but the concept is developing differently from one country to another; (3) The scoreboard evolution is particularly useful in revealing the continuous actions adopted by countries in order to facilitate the conversion to circular economy. Finally, the paper presents possible limits of the research, but also future directions of its development.

AbstractThis paper discusses interactions between the generation, collection and recovery of used tyres while considering an indicator of their mass accumulation per area in Poland. Notably, this study aimed to assess selected issues related to used tyre management efficiency from 2008 to 2018 based on European Union and national regulations. Within 11 years, over 5 million Mg of used tyres was introduced into the domestic market—exceeding the amount required for 50 million registered vehicles. It was demonstrated that a significant tyre waste management process involved the recovery of 47% of all tyres, which was almost entirely correlated with the total volume of tyres. Only the growth trend for generated tyres was considered significant, and the rarely used indicator of the accumulation of used tyres per area exhibited an uneven accumulation of used tyres, with the highest amount being 48.06 Mg km−2 in a region with a small area but a significant volume of waste tyres. Therefore, the management of used tyres requires action in the country to optimally increase this form of waste collection while consolidating the development, gathering and processing infrastructure in the context of further minimising environmental pressure and increasing the efficiency of their use by considering the 4R principle.

Big Rubbish has always been an issue to most major cities in Indonesia. The need to solve, handling and reducing tons of waste has become very urgent. One of the solution is People’s Electricity Program. The Idea is by converting domestic waste to energy in efficient, affordable and eco-friendly ways. The research started in Pondok Kopi RW 10, East Jakarta, converting domestic waste using bio-digester method, and thus experiments succeed turn the trash to compost leachate that can be use as fertilizer as well as forage ingredient. In this article, authors will focus on the detail of An-aerobic Digester known also as bio-digester method which is an alternative technology in The People’s Electricity Program to manage waste, converting it as energy. While researching and developing for People’s Electricity Program, The idea to create briquettes from waste came up. This waste-briquettes is being tested and checked in laboratory where its eventually having calorie level closed to coal’s calorie level. By using the bio-digester method on People’s Electricity Program, the waste-to-energy conversion can be built any where and become a solution to waste management, reducing the amount of junk while giving value provide an energy source for community.
