Public awareness of marine environmental quality and its relationship for policy support on marine waste management

Marine debris is a significant pollution problem affecting the world's oceans. The Marine Debris Governance Platform in Taiwan was established in 2017. It adopts a cross-disciplinary approach and encourages collaboration between the public and private sectors to implement actions aimed at raising social awareness and reducing ocean pollution. Generation and impact of waste due to the support and participation of the public, it is crucial for the successful implementation of waste management and the achievement of policy. This study utilizes questionnaire surveys to investigate the factors that influence public support and participation in the action plan of the marine waste management platform for the entire population of Taiwan. We recovered 1295 valid questionnaires and conducted an in-depth analysis of the public's awareness of the marine environment. In terms of the perceived effectiveness of policies, the public considers the “source reduction” action plan to be the most effective policy. Based on this study, it is recommended that the government utilize environmental education and media communication to effectively convey and promote the various policies associated with the action plans. This should gradually lead the public to develop a more positive awareness of the marine environment and increase their involvement in supporting the government's policies on reducing marine waste and plastic.

The Corporate Responsibility of the Cleanliness Department For Waste Management

Garbage is one of the environmental problems that become global problems that have not had a way out. In Indonesia alone, waste management that carried out by the Department of Sanitation has not been successfully implemented waste management in accordance with quality standards that have been set in the legislation. The waste management causes environmental pollution and hazards to public health. This is the importance of waste management and the regulation that regulate it. The Sanitation Department as the public sector who carry out the tasks assigned by the Regional Government in accordance with the Law No.18 of 2008. In this corporate accountability, accountability is divided into accountability of attendance, accountability of the board, or corporation and Board accountability. In corporate liabilities in public places such as the Sanitation Department, the State acts as a legal entity. The responsible board is determined by determining who directs the mind and has the authority to implement or prevent the follow-up imposed by the law.

SECONDARY EDUCATION TEACHERS' VIEWS ON ISSUES RELATED TO WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

This research investigated the views of secondary education teachers in Greece regarding waste management. A questionnaire was administered to 332 in-service secondary education teachers from various specialties to collect data on their views related to their ability and willingness to implement waste management topics, knowledge of waste management terms, and prioritization of waste management actions. The findings revealed that secondary education teachers expressed a moderate to low level of ability to implement educational activities related to waste management, with a wide distribution of views. They express that they felt more confident in implementing Environmental Education Programs (EEP) related to solid waste management than wastewater management. Teachers showed interest in participating in and organizing environmental programs, particularly for solid waste management. While teachers demonstrated a moderate level of basic knowledge of waste management, their understanding varied across different topics. Some terms were well-known, while others were less familiar. Teachers had a limited understanding of waste management principles and struggled to correctly prioritize waste management actions, with a significant percentage prioritizing recycling over waste minimization. These findings highlight the need for further education and training for secondary education teachers in Greece regarding waste management and environmental education. Improvements are necessary to bridge the gap between teachers' knowledge and understanding of waste management principles. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating waste management topics into teacher education programs and providing ongoing professional development opportunities. This research contributes to the literature by identifying areas for improvement in environmental education practices among secondary education teachers in Greece. The findings provide insights for curriculum development and teacher training programs. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of environmental education initiatives aimed at enhancing teachers' knowledge and understanding of waste management principles.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0015/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Dioxin emissions from municipal solid waste incineration in the context of waste classification policy

Municipal solid waste incineration is gradually becoming the main method of waste disposal, but waste incineration produces many organic pollutants (e.g., dioxins). In order to better implement waste management, China identified 46 key cities to implement domestic waste classification first in 2017. This study predicts dioxin emissions in 2030 based on the background of waste classification policy, and analyzes the impact of waste classification on dioxin reduction. Firstly, k-means was used to classify the 46 cities of waste classification into four categories, and the representative cities in the four categories were selected to analyze the correlation between different influencing factors and municipal solid waste in each category through grey correlation analysis. And the municipal solid waste of each city in 2030 was predicted by bidirectional long and short term memory neural network. Finally, four scenarios are set up based on the background of waste classification policy to predict dioxin emissions in each city in 2030. It is found that at least 7.49%–13.07% dioxin emission reduction can be achieved by 2030 through waste classification. Waste classification has a positive impact on dioxin emission reduction.

Waste Management Problems on Bawean Island, Indonesia

The policy on waste management in Gresik Regency is not implemented in Bawean Island, which is part of the Gresik Regency area. The absence of Temporary Processing Sites (TPS) and Final Processing Sites (TPA) has made the waste problem more widespread which has an impact on people's lives on Bawean Island. The purpose of this research is to find out the problems in waste management on Bawean Island. Qualitative research methods were used to explore the problems of waste management policy on Bawean Island through interviews, observation, and also documentation at the Gresik Regency Environmental Service and Community Leaders on Bawean Island by selecting subjects using purposive sampling. The results of the study found that the non-implementation of policies regarding waste management in Gresik Regency on Bawean Island was due to budget being the main problem for implementing waste management policies on Bawean Island. Then the government's lack of readiness in managing waste on Bawean Island, such as the lack of a Detailed Engineering Design (DED) concept, facilities and infrastructure in waste management, and outreach to the people of Bawean Island.

Environmental Literacy for Waste Management in an Academic Community: A Case Study

Excessive waste production has been one of the main causes for the environmental imbalances caused by humanity on the Planet. Minimize this problem demands for the promotion of the environmental literacy on waste management and, to do that, an investment in more and better environmental education. However, first, we need to know the level of environmental literacy each community has developed so far and what is missing to reach an adequate performance. As so, environmental education could be conveniently oriented with a most effective approach and with an adequate match between the defined goals and those really needed. Present study evaluates environmental literacy for waste management in the academic community of the University of Madeira (Portugal), characterizing knowledge, attitude and behaviour among students, teachers, and other staff. Results show a good performance for knowledge, even better for attitude, but only sufficient for behaviours. Additionally, it identifies those knowledges and behaviours that need to be prioritized in future environmental education approaches, besides clarifying that the effectiveness on implementing waste management best practices is most dependent on social, physical, and organizational transformations than on knowledge and attitude.

An overview of the circular economy activity for small island wastes and marine debris

The national regulation’s scheme to tackle waste and debris in Indonesia’s small islands is by applying the 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) program. This concept was written in Presidential Regulation no 97 in the year 2017, regarding the National Strategy and Policy of the Management for Household Waste and Similar Waste. Presidential Regulation no. 83/2018 regarding Marine Debris Management also focused on minimizing trash and wastes leaked into the marine water due to anthropogenic activities. The term circular economy has grown significantly since Boulding initiated it in 1966 to countermeasure pollution problems. This paper presents the reality of waste management that occurs in small islands and recommendations for sustainable management according to the circular economy concept. The methodology for this paper was by studying regulations in Indonesia, reviewing circular economy literature, and surveying the reality of waste management implementation in small islands in Kepulauan Seribu, Karimun Jawa, and Wakatobi. The results of the study provide a surprising reality but are common in small islands. Non-organic and solid waste that has no economic value (to be recycled) is used as reclamation material. Economical waste for recycling is managed by a waste bank organization. Organic waste is made into compost or burned in an incinerator that is still functioning. The waste residue on the island is then transported using a garbage transport ship (specifically for the Kepulauan Seribu). For the Karimun Jawa Islands, residual waste is only collected at the temporary dumping area (TPS) in the form of a landfill. Similarly, what happened in the Wakatobi Islands, the residual waste was piled up at the TPS. The implementation of a circular economy in small islands achieves only 2R (reuse and recycle) activities of the 7Rs (redesign, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, recycle, and recover). Based on the observation of activities of commercial organizations or communities, the status for implementing a fully circular economy on the small islands is a long journey ahead.

Causality of circular supply chain management in small and medium-sized enterprises using qualitative information: a waste management practices approach in Indonesia

AbstractCircular supply chain management (CSCM) is a promising way to achieve economic and environmental sustainability and address the waste problem. However, developing a fully circular supply chain system is costly and time-consuming, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs need to achieve better CSCM by implementing waste management practices. This study aims to (1) critically validate the hierarchical structure of CSCM for SMEs; (2) identify the causal interrelationships among the attributes; and (3) determine the practical attributes for SME improvement in Indonesia. An approach consisting of the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), best worse method (BWM), and fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL) is designed to fulfill the objectives of this study. The results show the hierarchical structure in CSCM implementation that benefit SMEs through performance improvement gains. Waste management practices and circular product design are causal aspects; in particular, waste management practices support SMEs in building CSCM as an alternative. The criteria to provide practical insights for CSCM in Indonesia are eco-design, sustainable product design, green technology, waste treatment capability, and designing for the environment.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH LEGAL REGULATIONS ON HOSPITAL B3 WASTE MANAGEMENT

The hospital as one of the health service facilities as stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia No. 56 of 2015, it is mandatory to carry out B3 waste management which includes reducing and segregating B3 waste, storing B3 waste, transporting B3 waste, processing B3 waste, burying B3 waste, and/or storing B3 waste. Hazardous waste generated from laboratory activities is in the form of residual healing processes for sick people such as additives for washing wounds, blood washing, cancer therapy processes, surgical practices, pharmaceutical products, and residue from incineration processes. The waste generated can pollute the environment. The method used is a systematic review through journal reviews regarding the implementation of legal regulations on the implementation of waste management in hospitals. This systematic review shows that laws and ministerial regulations governing the issue of waste management in hospitals already exist and are clearly described. However, in practice, not all hospitals are aware of managing B3 waste properly. This means that the hospital has not optimally implemented environmental management in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Lack of concern or commitment from the leadership of hospitals and health care facilities, lack of understanding of health care facility staff, and legal cases in health care facilities. The implementation of laws and regulations related to the management of B3 waste in healthcare facilities, especially hospitals, has generally been carried out based on the applicable legal regulations. However, there are still a number of cases of negligence or lack of awareness on the part of the hospital, both from the low awareness of actors or health workers in providing services so as to make a negative contribution to the environment and society.

Production of sintered glass-ceramic composites from low-cost materials

Considering that wastes are harmfull for the environment and human health due to certain physical, chemical and biological reasons; the necessity of systematic implementation of waste management comes to the fore. Waste management provides advantages to for industrial manufacturing with less pollut on, cheaper and competitively superior products. With the waste recycling, the needs for raw materials and the impact of production on the environment will decrease. This study proposed to produce low-cost sintered glass-ceramic composite by adding a mixture of molten mining tailings, recycled glasses and alumina platelets at different rates. The results showed that glass-ceramic composite made by 50 wt % molten tailings, 25 wt % recycled borosilicate glass and 25 wt % alumina platelets exhibited the best properties (2.39 g/cm3 bulk density, 0.22 ± 0.01% water absorption and 84± 9 MPa bending strength). In this study, considering the consumptions of raw material resources, it was seen that glass and mine residues can be used as secondary raw materials in glass ceramic composite production when cost and environmental issues are matter.

Healthcare waste hazards assessment using EWGM-FMEA: Case study in Oman

In the last years, particularly after Covid-19, Health care waste (HCW) has increased significantly due to the increasing population and number of healthcare organizations. HCW produces a significant risk of infectious contamination and injury. Accordingly, healthcare waste management plays a vital role in creating waste management strategies, and policies and implementing waste management plans. To build robust healthcare management systems, the risk assessment process is a key step. This paper assesses the top hazards of healthcare waste at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) in Oman using the Exponential Weighted Geometric Mean-Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (EWGM-FMEA). Fifteen healthcare waste hazards were selected to apply the tool. These hazards are ranked to prioritize the top hazards wastes. This assessment helps in identifying the most crucial hazards,whiche the policymakers should pay attention thus, the main countermeasures could be conducted. These hazards were proposed based on the conducted survey questionnaire and interviews accordingly, and analyses of the data have been carried out. The applied tool examined the importance of quantifying healthcare waste to apply the appropriate corrective actions which can be applied to mitigate the harm and the negative effects of healthcare waste. The results of the assessment tool will help policymakers in developing clear plans for management, disposal of wastes, and segregation. Furthermore, prioritizing healthcare waste explored the importance of integrating tthe raining plans of workers with the healthcare waste management policy. Although the prospective managerial and policy implications of this research, some limitations could be studied by future researchers. Firstly, the sample covered one hospital that may be representative of only one hospital in Oman which constrains the generalization of results. Secondly, the number of identified waste hazards is fifteen so, increased the number of hazards may help policymakers in building a more effective healthcare waste management plan which will reflect in improving the healthcare management system in the organization, mitigating the harmful effects on human health and the negative effects on the environment.

Prioritising materials procurement and construction waste management attributes

Construction and demolition waste constitutes the largest municipal solid waste globally with environmental concerns. However, waste management is not considered a priority objective in construction compared to time and cost. Therefore, construction practitioners’ waste management priority is evaluated in this study. A review of the literature revealed waste management attributes from multiple perspectives. A questionnaire survey was adopted to solicit practitioners’ contributions on their importance. Then, the attributes were prioritised and categorised into high, medium and low priorities using the voting analytical hierarchy process. Empirical results indicate that the high-priority materials procurement attributes were alliance with suppliers, a take-back clause in the suppliers’ agreement document, accurate material quantification, accurate material ordering and a just-in-time delivery plan. Senior managers’ early commitment to waste minimisation, effective communication among project participants, making subcontractors responsible for their waste, identifying recyclable materials and identifying reusable materials were high-priority attributes for managing waste in the construction stage. The findings of this study indicate areas where contractors should focus effort to improve waste management in the industry by collaborating with subcontractors and suppliers. Future studies should focus on developing frameworks that provide actionable means for implementing waste management attributes identified in this research study.

A Review of Municipal Waste Management with Zero Waste Concept: Strategies, Potential and Challenge in Indonesia

Municipal waste management is still a significant problem for solid waste issues in Indonesia. Only 60 to 70% of the waste generated is disposed of in landfills, the rest is dispersed in different areas. The potential for leachate pollution, greenhouse gases, and a waste of non-renewable natural resources can occur due to municipal waste management problems not being optimal. Municipal waste management needs a holistic concept that would include upstream to downstream stages. This paper comprehensively reviews municipal waste management with a zero waste concept based on management, development, measuring, implementations, strategies, potentials, and challenges in Indonesia. The zero waste concept offers waste management, starting with waste elimination, recycling, reduction, and recovery of used goods. Several municipalities around the globe, such as Canberra, Adelaide (Australia), Stockholm (Sweden), Nova-Scotia (Canada), and San Francisco (United States), have decided on targets for zero waste cities. Indonesia is still implementing waste management that accentuates disposal in landfills, so there needs to be a literature study related to the management, development, measuring, implementations, strategies, potentials, and challenges of Indonesia’s zero waste concept.

This paper provides a review of and some reflections on radioactive waste management activities (including disposal) at the strategic level in connection with the ongoing ‘European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste management – EURAD’ and the European ‘PREDIS’ project on pre-disposal issues. The review took advantage of the large number of contributions made during the FISA 2022/EURADWASTE ’22 conference. The paper addresses the key characteristics of EURAD and PREDIS and highlights some of the key strengths of Joint Programming in supporting the member states with implementing waste management activities. Then, it discusses topics of strategic importance for waste management and the contributions of EURAD and PREDIS to these topics. This includes a summary of waste management strategies, the current status of implementing disposal solutions, the importance of knowledge management (taking the long duration of disposal programmes into account) and the importance of societal support of ongoing and future waste management activities. Finally, some remarks are made about issues of importance when organizing future joint activities on radioactive waste management at the European level.

Minimisation of Construction Waste Using the Principles of Waste Management

Construction waste especially material waste is one major concern for the construction projects and has important implications in terms of socioeconomic and environmental aspects for the country. Construction industry being largest consumer of raw materials derived from natural resources also produces high amount of material waste that negatively impacts the environment. The building industry alone in Malaysia has reportedly generated approximately 25,600 tonnes of construction and demolition wastes daily due to rapid development. Therefore, any means of reducing material waste will not only result in significant cost savings within the projects but also reducing the pressure on the landfills and ease environmental concerns dealing with such waste conversion and recycling; and reduction. This study examines the causes and prevention of material waste in the construction specifically the building industry through the principles of waste management available. Questionnaires survey is the main tool deployed for data collection. The average and relative index were used to analyse the various aspects of the data collected. Stages of works used for the study include the material handling and storage stage; procurement of material stage; usage and operation of the material stage; and the design and documentation stage. The results indicate that respondents are aware of the concept of waste management but lack of awareness on the availability of such guidelines. It is hopeful that this study can improve on waste management implementation in order to uptake the principle of reduce, recycle and reuse material waste so as to reduce construction costs, provide good savings to the end users and improve the level of productivity of the nation.
