Strategies for the Sustainable Management of Solid Waste from Sinfra's Urban Hotel Establishments

Located in the Marahoué region in the central-west of Côte d'Ivoire, the town of Sinfra is a victim of inappropriate hotel waste management. This poor management of solid waste from hotel establishments has repercussions on the environment of this urban area, which is exposed to an abundance of rainfall. The aim of this study is to propose actions and strategies to mitigate the impact of poor hotel waste management. The methodology used is based on documentary research and field surveys supported by semi-directive interviews, questionnaires and direct observation.Systematic random sampling was used, which made it possible to include half of the city's hotel establishments. The reasoned choice method was used to target the hotels to be surveyed on the basis of certain criteria. The results showed that in the town of Sinfra, 45% of hotels dispose of their waste in unauthorised dumps and collection sites, 33% of hotels entrust their waste to pre-collectors and 22% of hotels have their waste collected by municipal services. This situation has given rise to environmental problems affecting people's quality of life. In response, solutions have been proposed for the sustainable management of hotel waste. These include supporting hotel managers in changing their practices, setting up and encouraging waste recovery channels and creating appropriate solid waste management infrastructures.

Characterisation and Recovery of Solid Waste from Hotels in the Town of Zuenoula (Central West of Côte d’Ivoire)

The town of Zuenoula, located in central west of Côte d’Ivoire, lacks socio- cultural activities that could have a positive impact on the accommodation sector. It has a small number of hotel establishments. Despite this, hotels benefit from stays for ceremonies, seminars, and funerals. This frequentation of hotel establishments generates waste, which is difficult to manage properly. They dispose of their waste in the same way as ordinary household waste. To reduce waste, some is recycled and then recovered. The aim of this study is to show how waste from hotels in the town of Zuenoula is recycled. To achieve this, the chosen methodology is based on documentary research and field surveys supported by questionnaires and direct observation. For the selection of the sample, the reasoned choice method was used, supported by the snowball method, for greater efficiency. The results revealed that hotel establishments produce various types of solid waste, of which the recovered waste (25%) is water bottles, unusable sheets and towels, faulty appliances, and leftover food. As for no recycled hotel waste (75%), 13% is collected by municipal services, 62% is disposed of on the streets, 13% on empty lots, and 12% around wetlands. All the hotel establishments surveyed had no infrastructure for collecting the waste produced on a daily basis, which degraded the population’s living environment.

ASSESSMENT OF SOLID WASTE GENERATION IN BISWANATH CHARIALI MUNICIPAL AREA: A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

– In a comprehensive examination of solid waste generation within the Biswanath Chariali municipal area, Assam, India our study delves into representative 180 households and 15 hotels, meticulously scrutinizing the intricate dynamics of waste disposal. Over a month, we methodically documented the waste generation patterns, revealing a vivid tapestry of disposal practices and habits. The introduction of colour-coded waste bins, strategically positioned in both households and hotels, has heralded a noticeable shift in waste disposal behaviours. The projected data were calculated from the sampled data for the entire household and hotels present in the municipal area. The data reveals that the total waste from the Biswanath Chariali municipal area is 280.77 mt/month out of which 201.62 mt organic waste, 49.74 mt plastic waste and 33.71 mt other waste (Glass, plastic etc.) Notably, Ward number 6 emerged as a focal point of heightened waste production (52.06 mt of total waste generated/month). Out of 66.12 mt of total hotel waste generated in the municipal area, 51.06 mt is organic waste, 9.44 mt is Plastic waste and 5.63 mt is other waste. A paradigm shift is envisaged through the exploration of technological interventions, encompassing composting, biochar production, and the conversion of organic waste into electricity. A noteworthy revelation underscores that over 70% of the waste predicament can be alleviated by harnessing the potential of organic waste, thereby transforming it into a valuable resource. However, a pivotal aspect to consider lies in the necessity for large-scale receptacles, essential for realizing a visibly cleaner municipal landscape. As we conclude, our contemplation extends towards the implementation of recycling centres and waste-to-energy facilities as transformative solutions for a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing Biswanath Chariali.

Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Toxoplasma gondii in pigs in Haryana, India.

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common food-borne parasitic zoonosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii and associated risk factors in pigs in Haryana, India. Serum samples were collected from 429 pigs from three agroclimatic zones (I-III) of Haryana and analysed for the presence of antibodies against T. gondii using a commercial indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-T. gondii antibodies were detected in 106 animals (24.7%), with the highest seropositivity in zone II (31.3%) followed by zone III (24.4%) and zone I (18.3%). Risk factors associated with higher seropositivity in pigs were farm size (higher in large-sized farms), age (higher in pigs >1 year of age), sex (higher in males), type of feeding (higher in combination of homemade and hotel waste) and housing (higher in free-ranging pigs). The findings of the study testify to the exposure of pigs (of all agro-climatic zones) to T. gondii. Hence, the observations are of significant medical and veterinary importance for devising and implementing control measures to check the dissemination of toxoplasmosis to pigs and eventually to humans.

Analysis of orthophosphate phytoremediation from hotel detergent waste and its effect on increasing biomass in water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia Crassipes)

This research is motivated by the high levels of phosphate, which can be in the form of orthophosphate in the waters where most of it comes from hotel waste that contains detergents which are one of the factors of water pollution. The research aims to strive for an environmental mitigation engineering system to reduce or even eliminate pollution using a plant-based waste treatment technique known as phytoremediation. Phytoremediation uses water hyacinth, which utilizes water hyacinth plants as an adsorbent of waste containing phosphate in a medium. The phosphate levels in hotel detergent waste will be reduced before the waste is released into the waters of Lake Toba. The results of this study are that the pH and temperature are still following the parameters of the predetermined threshold; namely, the pH is around 6-9, and the temperature does not change. The average TSS test results decreased from the first, fourth, and seventh days to around 21. The average BOD test results did not meet the wastewater quality standard of more than 50 mg/liter. The average Orthophosphate test results increased so that the effect of water goiter to reduce pollution is not such a big impact, and the effect of the mass of water hyacinth before and after being put into the detergent waste decreased by an average of 3.75 grams.

Waste separation at source and recycling potential of the hotel industry in Hoi An city, Vietnam

This study focuses on assessing the practice of waste separation at source and evaluating the recycling potential of the hotel industry in Hoi An City (HAC), which is a famous tourism city in the centre of Vietnam. Five recycling scenarios were designed based on the status and intention of waste management practices of the hotels and the hierarchical structure of recycling, which was identified by the analytic hierarchy process method. This study revealed that the solid waste management (SWM) system of the hotel industry in HAC has a high potential for developing recycling practices. The high percentage of recyclable materials (84.3%), the achievements of waste separation practices, and the intentions of SWM of the hoteliers are favourable conditions for enhancing recycling practices. Furthermore, this study indicated that recycling could reduce 30–70% of total hotel waste, lead to beneficial changes in waste characterisation for incineration and composting processes, and bring economic profits to the hotels. In addition, recycling strategies with the synchronous combination of improvement of waste separation at source, waste regulation promulgation, and enhancement of waste management motivation for the hotels were discussed.

An assessment of adopting lean techniques in the construct of hotel supply chain

This paper assesses the adoption of lean techniques across the supply chains of hotels. Literature indicates a growing awareness of sustainability issues and lean adoption for value creation in the hospitality industry. However, there are limited exploratory studies that outline sustainability in terms of lean techniques in the context of a hotel supply chain. This paper addresses this gap using a structured study plan with specific research questions. To this end, a theoretical framework of lean assessment for value creation is first developed and a SIPOC-based construct of a hotel supply chain is used to identify and categorize hotel waste. An empirical study is then conducted to answer research questions and assess the extent of using lean techniques. Study results and the developed framework can be subsequently used by practitioners and researchers in conceptualization and assessment of lean adoption across the supply chains of hotels in different contexts.

Screening method was used to determine the content of bioactive alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and tannin compounds. Each of these compounds has an important role in the seagrass. The existence of chemical compounds of the flavonoid, alkaloid and steroid groups in the roots and leaves of Cymodocea rotundata seagrass, Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichi, Halophila ovalis, Halophila minor, Halodule uninervis and Sryngodium isoetifolium in this study indicate that the seven species of seagrass has potential as a natural chemical antifouling, antifungal, and antibacterial.Then the seagrass will be protected from the danger of predators or epiphanies that interfere with the growth of seagrass and the ecosystems on Samuh Beach will remain intact.

Synergistic Action of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from Silver Resistant Estuarine Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain SN5 with Antibiotics against Antibiotic Resistant Bacterial Human Pathogens

This study focuses on the extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), carried out using the culture supernatant of silver resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain SN5 isolated from Mandovi estuarine mangrove water sample. AgNPs were characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis which showed high intensity peaks at 28° and 32.5°, characteristic of silver oxide (Ag2O) and confirmed its crystalline nature by referring Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS), File No. 00–076-1393. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed the nano sized AgNPS particles in the range of 35 nm – 60 nm. AgNPs showed antibacterial activity against both standard cultures of Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial human pathogens. Moreover, the AgNPs also showed antibacterial activity against ampicillin resistant Staphylococccus aureus strain VN3 and ciprofloxacin resistant Vibrio cholera strain VN1 isolated from Mandovi estuary, Goa India, polluted with human feces, domestic and hotel waste. These AgNPs exhibited better antibacterial activity as compared to AgNPs synthesized from plant extract of Honey suckle mistletoe and star anise. Interestringly, synergistic activity was observed when synthesized AgNPs were used in combination with antibiotics ampicillin and ciprofloxacin against ampicillin resistant Staphylococccus aureus strain VN3 and ciprofloxacin resistant Vibrio cholera strain VN1. Thus these AgNPs can be employed in cosmetics and wound dressings as a nanoweapon to control human bacterial pathogens.

Characterization of Hotel Bio-waste by Means of Simultaneous Thermal Analysis

Sustainable waste management has been assisted by the introduction of corresponding legislation. Organic biodegradable wastes, primarily food waste, represent a significant fraction of the total waste amount. Collecting, separating and pretreating biodegradable waste has faced various difficulties which can be controlled in more centralized waste generation points like hotels. By pre-treating/drying the feedstock, several processing strategies can become viable. In the framework of this study, dried hotel waste are characterized by means of simultaneous thermal analysis, i.e. STA. High performance liquid chromatography and elemental analysis were applied for the validation and further analysis of the recovered curves. The interpretation of the results showed the relation between the heating rate and the decomposition rate. In addition, the parameters that may convert the decomposition from endothermic to exothermic were identified.

Estimation of GHG emission from hotel industry

This paper deals with the estimation of different categories of waste, its quantity from hotel businesses, and its negative impact on the environment. The data are gathered with the help of a non-government organization – Indian Pollution Control Association, New Delhi. The data thus gathered are tabulated using the waste reduction model (WARM – Environment Protection Agency (EPA), USA). Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from hotel waste is calculated using the EPA calculator. GHG equivalence is derived in terms of passenger vehicles, gasoline, electricity used in homes, and energy use using the same calculator. It is unique as it is the first time that the emission from hotel waste is being estimated. It is helpful in raising an alarm for future problems related to solid waste management (SWM). It will help in developing environmental strategies and policies to streamline the SWM practices in this industry. The limitation of this study is that the WARM uses 46 different categories of waste and their emission factors are accepted as per its norm, which may slightly differ for similar types of materials in India.
