Changes in the environmental impacts of the waste management system after implementing the waste‐sorting policy: A Beijing case study

AbstractQuantifying the environmental impacts of a household waste‐sorting policy on the household waste management system, including collection, transportation, and treatment, is the basis for evaluating the policy's effectiveness. Beijing, the capital of China, began to implement the mandatory domestic waste‐sorting policy in May 2020. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the environmental impacts of the household waste management system in Beijing before and after implementing the sorting policy using the life cycle assessment method. Implementing the policy at the waste collection stage reduced the environmental impacts by minimizing the number of garbage bins consumed through their removal and consolidation. At the transportation stage, implementing the policy increased the environmental impacts per unit of waste via transportation structure changes. However, the overall impact was reduced because more recyclable materials were separated after waste sorting. The environmental impacts were reduced after implementing the policy at the treatment stage mainly because of the change in waste composition and the decrease in the total volume of treatment. Global warming potential (GWP) was the main contributor to the environmental impacts. After waste sorting, the GWP of the collection, transportation, and treatment stages decreased by −19.96%, −24.36%, and −38.08%, respectively, resulting in a total GWP reduction of −37.90%. However, incineration and biochemical treatments may offer environmental benefits.

Household solid waste management systems in Ukraine taking into account European experience

The article defines that the solid household waste management system is a complex of organizational, technical, economic and social measures aimed at effective collection, sorting, transportation, utilization and processing of solid household waste. An effective solid waste management system helps to ensure sustainable development, reduce the negative impact on the environment and promotes the use of waste as a resource for new products or energy. The article presents the experience of Germany, Sweden and Poland in the field of solid waste management. The peculiarities of such management are described for each of the countries. It has been established that the organization of the solid household waste management system in European countries differs in a number of features, which are determined by environmental standards, social values and strategies of sustainable development, which are aimed at solving problems related to the generation, storage, processing and utilization of waste. We propose directions for improving the solid waste management system in Ukraine, namely: development and implementation of sorting systems in households (will allow more efficient use of resources and ensure their further processing); introduction of extended producer responsibility; increasing the number and development of modern facilities for the processing and secondary processing of solid household waste; attraction of investments for the introduction of the latest technologies in the processing of solid household waste; implementation of effective incentive systems for enterprises engaged in secondary processing of solid household waste; implementation of modern technologies for tracking the volume of solid household waste, its composition and transportation routes; creation of digital platforms for information exchange between waste management, enterprises and citizens; development of programs and educational activities to increase environmental awareness of the community and their active participation in the solid waste management system; revision and improvement of legislation to meet modern environmental requirements; introduction of effective fines and incentives for enterprises and citizens that comply with or violate solid waste management requirements. Improving the solid waste management system in Ukraine can be achieved with the participation of state bodies, the business sector and the public, relying on the best experience of the European Union and other countries.

Anthropocentric Study on the Role of Human Power in the Household Waste Management System of the Bajo Tribe Settlement in Boalemo, Gorontalo

The Bajo tribe, inhabiting the coastal area of Tilamuta in Boalemo Regency, Gorontalo, has established sea-based settlements over several decades. As a community famously referred to as the "people of the sea," the Bajo people maintain a close connection with the marine environment, relying heavily on marine resources for sustenance. Paradoxically, the management of household waste in the Bajo Boalemo settlement contradicts the purported harmonious relationship between the Bajo people and the marine ecosystem. This study aims to comprehensively investigate, identify, and analyze the human power influencing the household waste management system in the Bajo Tribe settlement in Boalemo, Gorontalo. Employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including in-depth interviews and literature reviews, the research delves into the present perceptions, behaviours, and attitudes of the Bajo people in Tilamuta regarding household waste management in their community. The findings reveal that a majority of Bajo residents in Tilamuta acknowledge the detrimental impact of solid inorganic waste on the marine environment, recognizing its adverse effects on the quality of life for marine biota. In contrast, they view solid organic waste, such as food scraps and losses, and liquid waste, like sewage, as environmentally friendly, leading to intentional disposal into the sea, which is, in fact, harmful to the environment. Despite awareness of the risks associated with solid inorganic waste, occasional disposal into the sea persists, underscoring a form of anthropocentrism where convenience often outweighs environmental considerations. Addressing this issue requires a pivotal role from the government, involving raising awareness, disseminating crucial information about waste and its environmental impacts, and providing suitable facilities for waste management in Tilamuta. This study underscores the necessity of proactive measures to align the Bajo people's practices with sustainable environmental stewardship.

Моніторинг та управління побутовими відходами у селищі Нова Прага: від несанкціонованих сміттєзвалищ до сучасних рішень

This publication addresses the problematic issues of unauthorized landfills, monitoring, and management of household waste using the example of the village of Nova Praha (Kirovohrad region), which is relevant and timely in the context of Ukraine's European integration and the implementation of the European waste management model. The object of this study is the unauthorized landfills in the village of Nova Praha, while the subject is the features of their location and the spatial planning aspects of handling, monitoring, and management. During the implementation of this study, a set of empirical (mapping, comparative analysis) and theoretical (synthesis, Annotationion) methods were applied. As a result of the monitoring conducted for subsequent mapping purposes, 9 household waste landfills and 6 construction waste landfills were identified within the relatively small area (50 km²) of the village. Their negative impact on the environment was established, and numerous violations of environmental legislation were detected. To address the suboptimal handling of household waste based on current legislative requirements, specific recommendations were developed for local authorities regarding the elimination of identified unauthorized landfills, the reclamation of disturbed lands, and the prevention of new ones. The practical significance of the developed recommendations lies in their potential use by local authorities to optimize the household waste management system in the interest of the sustainable development of the territorial community.

Interaction analysis of youth participation with the household waste management system regarding the existence of local waste treatment facilities

Community participation is inseparable from youth participation to achieve sustainable household waste management. Some research pointed out that the presence of a waste treatment facility (WTF) near the waste generator may influence community participation in waste management but only a few of them discussed the relationship between WTF and youth participation. This paper discusses about WTF’s impact on youth participation in household waste management with a case study in Paulan Village, Central Java. Paulan Village has succeeded to stop transporting waste to the regional landfill since the local government operates WTF in mid-2019. However, does its existence influence youth participation in household waste management? This study used field observation, questionnaires, and in-depth interview methods, involving four key informants. Based on the descriptive content analysis, it was found that the presence of local WTF does not have a strong influence on increasing youth participation unless there is intensive intervention involving stakeholders, especially the local government. This paper suggests that intensive campaigns, like monthly or bimonthly socialization, and rewards are needed to optimize youth participation in household waste management. Besides, adults’ intervention is also needed in guiding the young generation to give more contributions to the community by involving in household waste management.

STUDY OF THE RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN POLTAVA REGION

The paper presents the results of research into the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of household waste generated in the territories of communities of the Poltava cluster, and a forecast assessment of the potential volumes of their generation in the coming years is made. On the basis of the collected data, a preliminary assessment of the general resource potential of household waste and the predicted volumes of the formation of individual resource-valuable components: plastic, paper and cardboard, glass, metals, organic waste was carried out.
 The study of the composition and volumes of household waste generation for the Poltava region was carried out within the framework of the development of the project "Regional waste management plan in the Poltava region until 2030" with the aim of choosing the option of creating zones of optimal coverage by the household waste management system (creating clusters) and selecting scenarios within these clusters regarding various methods of collection (including separate) and processing of household waste. The total population of the Poltava cluster is about 596,000 people.
 During the research of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of household waste generated in the territories of communities of the Poltava cluster, the potential volumes of household waste that can be collected in the future (potentially by 2024–2025) in the territories of 24 communities, that is, in the territory of the entire cluster.
 The obtained research results are the basis for making decisions and carrying out a technical and economic justification of the feasibility of building infrastructure facilities for the processing/recovery of household waste on the territory of the Poltava cluster with further use of their resource and energy potential.

Domestic Solid Waste Management in Rural Areas - case study of the Waorani Nampa Community, Ecuadorian Amazon

: This study focused on the proposal of an integrated solid household waste management system in the rural community of Waorani Nampa belonging to the Waorani indigenous nationality in the Ecuadorian Amazon. In this community, the burning of domestic solid waste is the only man-agement strategy commonly used, which has generated diverse environmental and health im-pacts on the population. Therefore, here we focused on diagnosing the socio-environmental con-dition of the community through surveys in order to determine the average daily per capita pro-duction of domestic solid waste. This was done through a characterization applying the method-ology of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the development of a proposal for a management model appropriate to the current demographic characteristics, from environmental education to final disposal. The results obtained determined that the average PPC of the community is 0.343 kg/person/day and the predominant category was the organic fraction with 64.20% of a total of 31.15 kg of solid waste produced. Finally, as initiatives for adequate management and use, it was proposed that an area be adapted to generate compost and a recycling system to obtain economic resources for the benefit of the population.

Leveraging technology for waste sustainability: understanding the adoption of a new waste management system

Many countries are under escalating pressure to meet legally binding targets in relation to recycling and waste management. This paper explores how innovative tools, including blockchain, economic incentives, and gamification, encourage consumer adoption of a novel household waste management system. We focus on developing a comprehensive framework that combines UTAUT2 (the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2) with novel features in the waste management context and additional behavioral construct, intention to recommend the system to others. We tested the proposed model using the partial least square structural equation modeling approach based on a survey of 400 respondents. The results indicate that in addition to effort expectancy, social influence, and hedonic motivation, trust, a property of blockchain technology, also impacts the respondent’s behavioral intention to use the new system. Furthermore, trust has a significant effect on both the level of system use and intention to recommend waste management system to others. The role of gamification was identified as a moderator between behavioral intention and system use and between trust and system use but not between system use and facilitating conditions. This result demonstrates that gamification can be valuable to increase adoption in users with otherwise low levels of behavioral intention. However, we did not find a strong link between either economic incentives, facilitating conditions, or performance expectancy and behavioral intention. The paper concludes by presenting the application of the proposed framework and the implications for the design of future consumer-facing waste management systems. The introduction of the novel features such as blockchain and gamification is discussed.

Spatial Analysis of Children’s Diarrhea in Urban Areas

Diarrhea is a condition in which an individual experiences bowel movements with a frequency of 3 times or more per day in the consistency of stool in liquid form. In addition, it can occur from person to person as a result of poor personal hygiene and environment. This research was conducted using quantitative methods and using a case series design. The population in this study amounted to 2533 toddlers with 56 samples. Data were collected using the case series method on 56 toddlers. Primary data were obtained through questionnaire interviews and recording the distribution of diarrhea incidence among toddlers with Google Maps and ArcGIS. Based on the results of the study, it was found that in the spatial analysis the incidence of toddler diarrhea was mostly spread in RW 01, as many as 36 respondents (64.3%) had a good household waste management system, as many as 41 respondents (73.2%) had a waste water management system. good, as many as 30 respondents (53.6%) had bad hand washing behavior, 37 respondents (66.1%) had poor knowledge, and as many as 37 respondents (66.1%) had higher education status. It was expected to Public Health Center to re-evaluate environmental health infrastructure recommendations.

Adoption of new household waste management technologies: The role of financial incentives and pro-environmental behavior

New technological solutions can encourage lower household waste production and higher levels of waste separation. This paper focuses on analyzing the role of different behavioral factors, such as empowerment and pro-environmental behavior (PEB), have on citizens' intention to use a novel household waste management and separation system and how these interact with the financial incentives typically applied in this area, pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) and save-as-you-throw (SAYT). The proposed model was tested in Portugal using the structural equation modeling approach. Survey data from 400 respondents found that empowerment plays a vital role in adopting an innovative waste management system. The research discerns pro-environmental behavior (PEB) both as an antecedent and a moderator between system use and empowerment, system use and behavioral intention, and also between system use and financial incentives. We discovered that for people with low perceived PEB, PAYT actually reduces the use of the new waste management system, while SAYT can increase the use of the system. Furthermore, increasing the empowerment of users in the system can work exceptionally well at encouraging consumers that already have a high level of PEB. The paper concludes with a discussion section about the developed framework's application and implication in the waste management sector. This study is valuable for understanding how citizens will adopt a new waste management system and essential for encouraging citizens to engage in recycling behavior regularly.

HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THROUGH SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION

The limited of natural resources to serve economic activities can caused social problems, such as poverty, pollution, and waste. Waste can be harmful to the ecosystem.This research explored household consumption pattern (food and non-food) that correlated with waste and build a dynamic model of household consumption and waste management system. Kecamatan Duren Sawit-East Jakarta has the biggest number of households and unmanaged waste problem. The methodology was quantitative data for Spearman's Rho Correlation analysis and qualitative data (interview and questionnaires) for consumption motivation and lifestyle. Human beings is a homo-economicus and a homo-ecologicus. We have rational thinking (maximize our utility and usage value) and we get information from external (socio-culture and advertisement). Based on the questionnaires (100 households), respondents are more likely buying food and non-food products based on their usage value. For non-food product, they have more choices on the market and they tried to reduce their consumption (3R principle). Waste management system still use: collecting, carrying, and disposing the waste at the temporary landfill and the permanent landfill at Bantar Gebang-Bekasi. Respondents do not sort their waste, even though we have law (UU No. 18/2008 for Waste Management). I interviewed the closet stores or markets at 7 sub-district areas or Kelurahan and no punish-rewards system. To reduce the household waste, we need to increase consumer's green motivation that can shift gradually their consumption behavior to be greener lifestyle. Changing consumer behavior is one of the mitigation process to reduce the greenhouse effect.

Household waste management system: The new of SGDS facing the challenges of sanitation in Cotonou (Republic of Benin)

The growth of household waste is noticeable in several cities in Africa due to rampant urbanization and population explosion. This state of affairs creates many management problems. The city of Cotonou, the country's main economic hub, is no exception to this reality. The inadequacies of DMS management by the COGEDA (Coordination of NGOs for the Management of Household Solid Waste and Sanitation in Cotonou) and the DST (Technical Services Directorate) of the town hall of Cotonou led to the establishment of the SGDS (Waste and Sanitation Management Company). However, there are still challenges in terms of sanitation in Cotonou. This work aims to describe the novelty in the current system of household waste management in Cotonou and the challenges it faces. Documentary research, direct observations in the field, survey by questionnaires and interviews with institutional stakeholders in the management of DMS in Cotonou constitute the methodology adopted. At the end of the field work, we note on the one hand several innovations in the current DSM management system in Cotonou and also some challenges to be taken up in order to make the system sustainable on the other hand.

Regional household waste management system: condition and main problems

An interpretation of the concept of "regional household waste management system" is presented, which is understood as a part of the National Waste Management System, which ensures the coordination and unification of all stages of waste management in each settlement/ community/territory of the region as a whole taking into account natural, demographic, economic, geographical and other features in a single complex mechanism. The features that determine the functioning of household waste management systems at the regional level are identified. A number of problems peculiar to waste management are highlighted. The purpose of the article is to analyze the results of the study on the volume of generation/disposal of household waste and identify on this basis the list of problems faced by most regions of Ukraine in this area. The aim is also to consider the concept and features of the regional household waste management system. Attention is focused on the significance and role of clearly defined and taken into account physical and chemical properties of household waste and its morphological composition: 1) in providing basic information necessary for planning and optimizing the management system, environmental assessment of waste management; 2) in choosing the technology of its processing since the efficiency of recycling depends on it. The article emphasizes that objective data on the volume of generation and morphological composition of household waste are critically necessary for the development/adjustment of regional waste management plans, awareness of citizens, business entities, and management bodies, giving them the opportunity to make informed decisions. Actions to reduce toxicity/hazard include reuse, thermal disposal, incineration without energy generation, and waste minimization. The analysis of the volume of generation/disposal of household waste in the regions of Ukraine is carried out. According to the results of a study of the volume of waste generation in households per person in 2020, five classification groups are identified. The main signs of functioning of the domestic household waste management system in comparison with the European one are indicated. Foreign experience on the importance of household waste processing technologies used in determining the quality parameters of the waste management system as a whole is noted. The fact that it is innovative production that lays the prerequisites for the formation and effective functioning of a modern waste management system is emphasized. The article notes that the implementation of most of the tasks defined by the 2030 National Waste Management Plan does not meet the established deadlines due to the socio-economic situation in the country. The planned reduction in the volume of household waste disposal in landfills lags behind the established time frame.

The impact of COVID-19 outbreak and perceptions of people towards household waste management chain in Nepal

The spread of COVID-19 is posing significant challenges to the household (HH) waste management sectors putting waste personnel and concerned bodies under massive pressure. The chain of collection, segregation, recycling, and disposal of household generated wastes is interrupted. This study aimed to assess how the household waste management chain was disrupted by novel coronavirus in Nepal and find the perception of the people towards the existing household waste management system (HHWMS). A descriptive online survey was carried out among 512 people using a cross-sectional research design and data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire method. Both descriptive, as well as inferential tests, were conducted using SPSS software. The finding of this study showed that 62.3% of respondents were not satisfied with the present HHWMS. Furthermore, there was a significant association of the satisfaction level of household waste management during coronavirus outbreak with gender, waste volume change in lockdown, PPE for waste collectors, and education on waste handling techniques provided by the government sector at 5% level of significance (p < 0.05). Proper HH waste management has become a challenge, and to address this some innovative works such as awareness programs for people, health and hygiene related support to waste workers, and effective policy formulation and implementation should be done by the Government of Nepal.

Furthermore, he taught the community how to sort waste by type by making Takakura baskets as a household compost producer.

Household Waste Management towards a New Normal Era (Study at Suzuki Residents, Watutumou III Village, Kalawat District)

This research was conducted to (1) analyze the household waste management system, and (2) develop a strategy for household waste management in Suzuki Resident, Watutumou III Village, Kalawat District, getting in the era of "New Normal". This research uses quantitative methods with SWOT and AHP ((Analytical Hierarchy Process) techniques. The results show that the Waste Management system has Strength, such as the efforts to apply the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle), waste management fees, and improvement, facilities and infrastructure, strengthening public understanding, support from local government and APBD (Local Government Budget) of North Minahasa Regency. The waste management system has several weaknesses, such as (1) lack of facilities and infrastructure for trash bins, the absence of 3R Landfill in residential areas, and limited human resource capacity toward waste management Opportunities which is faced by the waste management system including support for provincial government policies, facilitating the marketing of waste management products that are economically valuable. Threats which are faced are the increasing volume of waste, not optimal waste management and sorting, people behavior of littering. Based on these conditions, the priority of the Household Waste Management Strategy is to improve facilities and infrastructure to support waste management. The current strategy for developing a household waste management system is in quadrant IV that is diversifying the use of force and creating more opportunities. Strategic steps in managing household waste in Suzuki Resident, Watutumou III Village, Kalawat District, getting in the era of "New Normal, are improving existing facilities and infrastructure and adding to those that do not exist, optimizing waste retribution to support waste management costs, gathering support from stakeholders who related, strengthening public understanding of household waste management, and promoting efforts to apply the 3R concept in household waste management.

Household waste management system planning in the Poltava region

Today in Ukraine, the municipal waste management system is focused on landfill waste, mainly their disposal in landfills and unauthorized dumps, most of which do not meet the requirements of environmental safety. Accordingly, the main task at the state and regional levels is to implement a systematic approach to waste management, which will ensure both a gradual reduction in waste generation and an increase in their processing and reuse. Implementation of this task requires the implementation of a set of measures provided by the National Waste Management Strategy in Ukraine until 2030 (approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated November 8, 2017, No. 820 (Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine 2017, No. 820-r) and the National Waste Management Plan until 2030 (approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on February 20, 2019, No. 117-p (Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine 2019, No. 117- r). According to documents, a crucial step for each region of Ukraine is developing a regional waste management plan based on a phase of strategic planning of all processes of waste management. The importance of this stage increases as a result of the completed process of power decentralization in Ukraine, and, accordingly, delegating authority to address most community development issues to the local powers.

Implementing mechanical biological treatment in an emerging waste management system predominated by waste pickers: A Brazilian case study

Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) could be a decisive game-changer for the development of household solid waste management (e.g., reduce waste in landfills). However, in a nascent household waste management (HSWM) system, which is characterized by divergent interest groups ranging from the national government, municipalities, waste pickers and householders as providers of waste, implementing MBTs could create positive but also adverse impacts, in particular on waste pickers (WPs). Formal WPs are in cities, like Belo Horizonte (Brazil), a constituent part of the HSWM. This study builds strategies as a form of normative scenarios to assist decision-making processes to deal with WPs and implement MBTs systems. The present study includes material and energy flows, life cycle environmental impacts and social indicators characterized by the number of active WPs and capacity building. The results show that an integrated commitment of the local society can reduce landfilling by 70% and global warming emissions to a quarter. An emphasis on greenhouse gas emissions, like Belo Horizonte's promise for long-term attitude, brings a broad commitment to developing HSWM since a functioning system based on focused strategies will consequently reflect a positive action on climate. Waste pickers can fulfill the estimated vacancies at MBT plants and promote their active life or not according to the capacity building. MBT has substantial room to grow. Therefore, this growth will only happen with new thoughts on the adaptability of MBT systems focused on sufficiency to secure fair conditions for local livelihoods and targets with systemic implications.
