AbstractA multi-floor manufacturing in residential districts of huge city promotes decongestion of urban traffic and satisfy the population’s demand for essential goods. City manufacturing and its supply chain entail several challenges related to the sustainable development of a large agglomeration. Environmental problems impose significant constraints on such manufacturing activities and production waste in the urban environment poses a real problem that needs to be addressed by special research. This paper discusses integrated sustainable production waste management for a city multi-floor manufacturing cluster, consisting of a group of production buildings and a supporting logistics node. In line with the theory of integrated sustainable waste management, three key components are addressed: waste management stakeholders, components of the waste management system, and the technical, environmental and legal aspects of a city multi-floor manufacturing cluster. The goal of the paper is to develop a concept for a model of environmental sustainable waste management in a city multi-floor manufacturing cluster, aimed at ensuring the system safety: human - technical facility - environment. This model can serve as a basis for the development of appropriate logistics chains for production waste management considering their hazardousness indicator. The versatility of the model will allow it to be widely used, and when its stages and working principles are embedded in the practice of city multi-floor manufacturing, proper control over the waste management process can be achieved. The application of the proposed model of integrated sustainable production waste management in the practice of the city multi-floor manufacturing clusters will contribute to the environmental sustainability of its operation.

Abstract Background In this pandemic of COVID-19, the highest amount of infective material, biomedical waste is generated in hospitals and it is frequently handled by the healthcare workers irrespective of cadres. Hence the awareness of healthcare workers in regards with biomedical waste (BMW) management is crucial in this pandemic. This study is therefore conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices in BMW management among health care workers in our institution. Results A total of 280 subjects consisting of doctors, nursing staff and group D workers were included in the study after obtaining informed consent. The knowledge among healthcare workers was satisfactory, but comparatively group D workers were lagging behind. Overall they all have a good attitude towards BMW management but practices on BMW management needs improvement mostly among group D workers. Conclusions There have to be regular training programmes on biomedical waste management and its hazards for all the healthcare workers including group D workers. Along with educational intervention, strict implementation of biomedical waste management guidelines with its monitoring at all levels is also very much essential.

ABSTRACT The management of waste arising from offshore and in particular on-shore oil spill response activities can often incur more cost and resources than the responses themselves. Careful pre-planning can deliver more efficient and effective implementation, minimising both impact and cost and providing the opportunity for improved stakeholder engagement and media interaction. Current practice necessarily focuses much effort and resource on two goals:the development of comprehensive plans to prevent oil releases from offshore oil exploration and production facilitiesdetailed planning of effective responses if they do arise. In many cases, detailed planning for the management of wastes appears to have been left largely until after a release has occurred. This is understandable when a vessel is the source of the spill as none of the critical variables can be defined in advance. However, when releases originate from offshore oilfield infrastructure it is possible to define many of these variables with reasonable accuracy and to use them as the basis for detailed and focused pre- incident planning, yet oil spill planners still seem to have been reluctant to address this issue. This is possibly due to the inherent complexity, cost and lack of perceived benefit of pre- incident waste management planning – it is hoped this paper will stimulate rethinking of this approach. A significant number of the factors which influence the preparation of an effective waste management plan derive from the impacted location, (forecast using trajectory modelling). This information (shoreline substrate, clean up techniques, logistics, resources etc.) can be used to develop models that estimate waste arising from individual sections of shoreline - these can then be consolidated with data from other shoreline sections to determine waste stream types and quantities on a local and regional basis. Options for reuse/recycling/treatment and disposal and the resources required can also be assessed, allowing the development of strategies for delivery of the selected options. Assessments can also be made of the need/benefit for providing stockpiles of materials and/or equipment. Considering key issues before an incident arises enables these to be reviewed more comprehensively in a non-crisis situation. The development of models facilitates review of alternative scenarios and quick adjustment to the plans if an actual release occurs and more accurate details become available. The approach proposed can be applied to any geographical location. The paper outlines this process, examples of the results and the benefits of its adoption.
