In this study, the collection, transport, and treatment phases (including the management of products and processing residues) of six fractions of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in the Sinistra Piave Basin (Veneto, Italy), a consortium of 44 municipalities, were analyzed by life-cycle assessment (LCA). Specifically, two different scenarios were assessed for paper and cardboard, glass, multi-material (plastics and metals), food waste, garden waste, and dry residual fraction management, one referring to the year 2015 and the other to 2004. The primary aim was to investigate what consequences the increase in separate collection rates progressively achieved by the consortium (65% in 2004 versus to 80% in 2015) exerted on the management system and its potential environmental impacts. For each scenario, the type of separate collection method employed (door-to-door in 2015, and mixed door-to-door and curbside collection in 2004), the collected amounts, the geographic location of the main sorting/treatment plants, and the type of treatments applied to manage the products and processing residues were considered. The results of the study indicate that, among the variations that occurred in the management system for the two considered years, the increase in separate collection rate achieved was the factor that most affected all of the potential environmental impacts taken into account. In particular, for the 2015 scenario, differently from the 2004 one, all of the categories considered (apart from ecotoxicity) were negative, indicating savings instead of impacts. Treatment was the stage that by far mostly affected potential environmental savings, with regard to paper and cardboard recycling in particular.

The problem of efficient management of municipal solid waste (MSW) flows remains one of the most urgent environmental and socio-economic problems of the Ukrainian regions. Ineffective MSW management leads to a significant negative impact on the abiogenic and biogenic components of the environment, as well as on the Ukrainian regions' citizens' state of health. Each individual region has its specific situation that should be taken into consideration for the development and implementation of regional plans for MSW management. Usually most of these regional plans are limited by such factors as determination of the volume of generated MSW, inventory of landfills, calculation of the required number of containers and technical means, justified expediency of MSW sorting stations placement, new MSW landfills construction etc. However, little attention is paid to introduction of innovative approaches for development of an effective MSW management system. There is no systematic approach to solving the MSW-related problem and all efforts aim at eliminating the consequences, rather than changing the ultimate cause. The aim of the research is to assess the prerequisites for the formation and implementation of a MSW management plan in Odesa Region from a systematic approach perspective. The methodological basis of the research includes analysis of the existing regulatory and legislative framework in the area of regional MSW management. The work is based on the relevant published data, materials of the Draft Regional Waste Management Plan in Odesa Region by 2030, as well as the results of our own research activities. The regional MSW management plan can be implemented at the following main areas: introduction of a MSW management system in big cities (separation of easily-decomposed organic fraction and hazardous waste, creation of recycling centre and stations etc.); landfill activities (construction of waste sorting plant, construction of biochemical processing/composting facilities, biogas production); development of logistics services (transition to small garbage trucks: separate vehicles for individual MSW components or vehicles with separate sections without waste precompaction); training of qualified personnel, educational work with great masses of population. Consideration of these prerequisites during the formation and implementation of a MSW management plan in Odesa Region will help to increase the environmental safety of the population, reduce the negative impact on the environment through improvement and modernization of the existing MSW management system and achievement of the final "zero waste" condition after conversion of the maximum waste amount into liquid secondary raw materials, alternative energy source and environmentally friendly organic mineral fertilizer. The implementation of the conceptual and theoretical foundations for formation of an optimized MSW management system will contribute to the achievement of the goals of sustainable development set by Odesa Region.

The objective of this study is to forecast the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) quantity output in Lucknow city by 2025, establishing a relationship between various socio-economic variables and waste generated using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA). It is found that the rate of generation of MSW in Lucknow increases after 1383 M ton d-1 in the year 2015 to 2075 M ton d-1 in the year 2025 and per capita waste increases after 0.465 kg capita-1 day-1 in 2015 to 0.616 kg capita-1 day-1 in 2025 respectively. The outcomes of the research are reliable to ascertain waste generation quantities in future, a pool of factors pivotal in the prevalent composition of the waste and a feasible way ahead towards a proper MSW management system as per the varying composition of solid wastes. The statistics provided in this paper is very useful for proper arrangement and executing the best waste management system in Lucknow City to avoid system failures.

Solid Waste Management System

Currently, the problem of organizing a municipal solid waste management system (MSW) has become more acute in Russian regions and all over the world. Various environmental and economic problems, as well as problems related to public health negatively affect many aspects of the development of modern society. Therefore, the careful organization of the management of the MSW management system is of great social importance and needs constant improvement. In this paper, we look at the MSW management system from the point of various scientific approaches, namely, structural analysis methods, geoinformation technology methods, reliability theory for complex technical systems, evergetics, graph theory and fuzzy logic methods, including the apparatus of linguistic variables. The purpose of the work is to show the possibility of application and systematic combination of the above scientific methods that have proven themselves well in their fields to a new area of the MSW management systems. However, just application of these approaches is impossible without their further adaptation and systematization from the point of view of existing approaches to the management of similar systems. As part of this study, elements of the MSW management system were identified and a topological model of the system was developed. Structural-logical models of reliability at various levels of abstraction were also built.

ABSTRAKSistem pengelolaan sampah perkotaan di Indonesia pada umumnya masih menerapkan metode konvensional. Lain pihak volume sampah terus mengalami peningkatan seiring dengan meningkatnya jumlah penduduk dan pola hidup masyarakat. Hal itu juga terjadi di wilayah Kota Bima Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat, di mana sistem pengelolaan sampah belum berjalan dengan baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui karakteristik sampah dan sistem pengelolaannya, serta membuat rencana pengembangan sistem pengelolaan sebagai suatu solusi penanganan permasalahan sampah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan rasional dengan teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif yaitu berdasarkan standar normatif dan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil dari penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa komponen sistem pengelolaan sampah di Kota Bima masih di bawah standar pengelolaan sampah perkotaan. Hal itu diperoleh dari hasil analisis pendapat masyarakat dan analisis berdasarkan standar normatif. Perencanaan sistem pengelolaan sampah perkotaan di Kota Bima dengan konsep non-konvensional mampu mengurangi timbulan sampah yang dibuang ke TPA sebesar 46,23% dan memperoleh keuntungan yang dimulai pada tahun ke 13 umur proyek dengan keuntungan total pada hingga akhir periode proyek sebesar Rp. 78.949.779.000. ABSTRACTCommonly, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management in urban life, Indonesia still applies conventional system. Otherwise, solid waste volume gets higher as population and lifestyle, but not supports its management well. It also occurs in Bima City West Nusa Tenggara Province, where the waste management system has not gone well. The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of waste and its management system, as well as to make a plan for developing a management system as a solution for handling waste problems. This research applies rational approach with the analysis techniques used are qualitative and quantitative analysis based on normative standards and frequency distribution. The results of this study indicate that the components of the waste management system in the city of Bima are still below the standard of MSW Management. This was obtained from the results of the analysis of public opinion and analysis based on normative standards. The planning of MSW management system in Bima City with non-conventional concept can reduce the amount of waste disposed to the landfill by 46.23% and earn profits starting on the 13th year of project age with total profit at the end of the project period of Rp. 78,949,779,000.
