Approaching circular economy in an emerging economy: a solid-waste reutilization initiative in a small fresh market in Thailand

Fresh markets play crucial roles in everyday life in emerging economies such as Thailand. Operated by local governments or small companies, these facilities are regarded as less equipped actors for utilizing resources and handling environmental problems, including solid waste. Therefore, the operations of fresh markets are considered as a linear business model where materials and wastes are not efficiently utilized in the economic system. Taking the case of the Don Klang Market, Thailand, this research investigated how a strategic environmentally motivated corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative on solid waste can transform a linear flow of solid waste for realizing circular economy (CE). Through a society-wide social return on investment analysis, the results reveal that the strategic environmental CSR on solid waste creates impacts toward CE benefiting the company and stakeholders. Moreover, the study reveals that assistance is essential for small companies to take up a role in promoting CE. This research contributes to the improvement of solid-waste management and sheds some light on CE realization through CSR in the context of emerging economies.

Willingness to pay for solid waste management improvement in Hawassa city, Ethiopia

This study used a contingent valuation method to estimate residents' WTP for improved solid waste management in Hawassa city. The improvement in solid waste management includes the relocation of the current landfill and the switch from open donkey carts to covered tractors with a waste compactor for solid waste transportation. A method of iterative bidding was used to ask residents about their WTP, and ordinal logistic regression was used for data analysis. The result of the study indicated that the estimated average WTP of residents was Ethiopian Birr (ETB) 26.57 ($ 0.62) per month. Besides, the study findings showed that waste minimization practices such as reuse, recycle, waste separation and making compost from waste were uncommon at the household level in Hawassa city. The policy implications of the findings are that the Municipality of Hawassa should consider the residents’ willingness for improved solid waste management service and adopt the solid waste management improvement project to prevent further public health risks and environmental impacts.

Willingness to Pay for Improving Household Solid Waste Management in Vietnam

Management of solid waste is a major challenge in urban areas of most parts of the world, especially in developing countries. The study aimed to determine and estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) of the selected households for the improvement of solid waste management in Vietnam. The research evaluated WTP of household solid waste in case studies in Bien Hoa and My Tho cities using contingent valuation method (CVM). The data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire survey and interviews with 200 households. The results showed that the most willingness to pay was equal to 10,000 and 15,000 VND per month. The respondents were willing to pay in Bien Hoa and My Tho with an average of 14,450 VND (0.63 USD) and 13,000 VND (0.56 USD) per month, respectively. Regression model identified influential factors on WTP of households in the two cities of Vietnam. The factors that significantly influence households’ WTP were monthly household income, education of respondents, age, occupation and solid waste volume (p<0.05). The results of this study can be used for the urban planning and implemented the sustainable development process in Bien Hoa and My Tho cities.

Smart Waste Management under Smart City Mission – Its Implementation and Ground Realities

This paper is looking the smart waste management under smart city mission. What are the objectives of smart waste management? Are people aware of it? Also try to understand the implementation of waste management from small town to the metropolitan city by the local government, NGO’s of that city as well as peoples of that city. Metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Indore, Mysore, Bangalore, etc. As we are seeing facing a lot of issues for the implementation of waste management. Therefore from this paper, I want to see what are the new solutions smart ideas are setting up those cities municipalities for waste management which is one of the neglected topic as well as issue. Smart waste management concept nowadays emerges a new phenomenon and it is mostly applied in the Metropolitan cities where the production of the waste is high and management of waste and awareness about the waste management in between the people is very low. Smart waste management helps to reduce the waste, create waste to energy source also it helps to keep the environment clean and neat. All the city’s urban local bodies depending upon the available technology have to spend the money and innovate the new concept of waste management that is the main purpose of smart waste management. This paper is based on the secondary as well as primary data. Secondary data took from the newspaper, article, etc. And primary data based on the observation and survey that did in 2016 and recent in Mumbai. At the end in the discussion try to show the difference between small-town waste management and Metropolitan cities challenges and how to manage it and then gave the recommendation for solid waste management improvement.

Analytical Research for Improvement of Solid Waste Management in Jaipur City

English

This study tried to investigate urban community’s willingness to pay for improved solid waste management. Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice technique was used to examine household’s willingness to pay for improved solid waste management. The collected data further analyzed Bivariate probit and logistic regression models to investigate the mean and factors determining willingness to pay for solid waste management. A random sampling technique produced surveys from 190 households. Majority of the households indicated that the current solid wastes management is very poor. The econometric result showed that the mean and total willingness to pay from double bound elicitation method was 16US$/household/year and 590,473.22US$/year respectively, while the mean and total willingness to pay from open ended elicitation method were computed at 14US$/year and 524,306.8US$/year. The mean annual willingness to pay for solid waste management from double bound elicitation method was greater than from open ended elicitation method. Households’ age, size, income, education and amount of solid waste generated as well as bid value, were key determinants of solid waste management improvement. Hence, policy makers should target double bounded elicitation method than open ended elicitation method of eliciting the willingness to pay for solid waste management improvement. Key words: Willing to pay, logistic regression, Bivarate profite, contingent valuation method (CVM), solid waste management (SWM).

The improvement of solidwaste management in Cibodas Botanical Garden through environmental economic valuation using the travel cost method

Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) is believed to have high environmental value for its function as conservation area and beautiful scenery. However, prior to this research, there is lack of economic valuation to determine the total value of CBG, including its environment. The local government, on the other hand, needs such environmental economic valuation to execute better decisions related to the CBG. This study aims at providing the mostly-needed economic valuation through the application of Travel Cost Method. The Travel Cost Method (TCM) is a method to calculate the economic value of products or services that do not own market value. This method utilises total cost of consumers who travel to certain places, preferably tourist destinations. The cost spent by consumers are considered as their willingness to pay (WTP) for the visited destination(s). In this study, TCM is used by preparing questionnaires for Cibodas visitors, analysing the results of the questionnaires, calculating the total economic value (TEV) of Cibodas, determining the consumer surplus, and proposing environmental programs at CBG. At the end, it was calculated that the TEV of Cibodas Botanical Garden is IDR113,072,532,700 with average WTP of the visitors IDR202,484 per visitor and the consumer surplus of IDR32,344 per visitor. Also, this study reveals that solid waste management improvement at CBG can be funded by potential income from the consumer surplus.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSEHOLD SOLID WASTE IN HUE CITY

This paper examined the characteristics of household solid waste with a hope of contributing to the improvement of solid waste management in Hue city. The study was conducted by collecting, classifying and measuring household solid waste from 62 households in 7 consecutive days. A structure questionnaire was also used in the interviews with survey households to collect data on their demographic characteristics. The results show that the household solid waste was generated evenly on a daily basis with an amount of 286±171g/person/day during the weekdays. The composition of household domestic solid waste was divided into 17 different groups; of which, the two groups representing the largest amount were food waste (56.35 %) and garden waste (10.89 %). Hazardous waste accounted for a very small proportion (only 0.26 %). The detailed composition ratio of food, garden waste, nylon, paper, plastic, porcelain, etc. and mixed stuff were defined at 56.35 %, 10.89 %, 8.93 %, 3.22 %, 3.22 %, 3.02 %, etc. and 10,23 %, respectively.

Improvement of solid waste management: Organizational and technological aspects

The paper reveals the existing problems in of solid domestic waste recycling in the developed western countries and in Russia. A direct pattern is shown: the more country developed, the more waste it processes (later wastes are reused) and composts. It is established that the existing system of solid domestic waste circulation in Russia is based on their collection and transporting for disposal in landfills and dumps. Using ineffective ways of residential solid waste disposal leads to a rapid filling of landfills, even in spite of small volumes of incoming wastes and significant areas allocated for their disposal. Taking into account the specifics of a curtain territory, the structural and technological recommendations for improving residential solid waste management in the region based on of the method of complex processing of residential solid waste are proposed.

Households willingness to pay for improved solid waste management

Waste is a byproduct of human life. Nowadays, municipal solid waste is being produced in excessive amounts and in this way, both developing and developed countries are facing challenges regarding generation of waste. Economic development, urbanization and improved living standards in cities have contributed to increase in the amount and complexity of solid waste produced. The present study was conducted in the residential area of main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore to determine the present methods and efficiency of current solid waste management facility and to estimate the willingness of the selected households to pay for the improvement of solid waste management through questionnaire survey. It was found that current Solid waste management system in the area is fair but needs more improvement in terms of improved collection efficiency and rates, recycling bins, and segregation of waste at storage. According to the questionnaire survey, majority of the respondents despite belonging to middle class incomes are willing to pay an amount less than USD 4.8 for the improvement of waste management facility in the area. The area lacks frequent collection of waste containers. Therefore, there is a need for upgradation of storage and collection facilities in terms of increase in collection efficiency and rates, introduction of recycling facility and segregation of waste at source. Waste storage and collection sites of the area should be monitored periodically and waste should be disposed of in a scientific manner in sanitary landfills.

УЛААНБААТАР ХОТЫН ХӨРСНИЙ БОХИРДОЛ

According by soil investigation of Ulaanbaatar city area in 2012 soil heavy metal contamination generally was low. In some areas revealed anomaly high content of Chromium, Lead and Zink exceeding maximum allowed content. But this points a sporadic distributed not covered big area and 7.5-2.7 % of samples are exceeding standard level. The soil ammonium and sulfate content is high comparing with non-polluted pasture soils. Soil ammonium pollution more closely connected with big open markets and “ger horoolol” area. Primary source of sulfate content is air pollution and coal burning. Soil microbiological pollution, E.Coli and anaerobic bacteria level is high. The “ger horoolol” district area becoming main source of microbiological pollution. Improvement of solid waste management and “ger horoolol” area planning is challenging issue to solve a soil pollution problem of Ulaanbaatar city area.

Practices, Concerns, and Willingness to Participate in Solid Waste Management in Two Urban Slums in Central Uganda.

Poor solid waste management is among the major challenges facing urban slums in developing countries including Uganda. Understanding community concerns and willingness towards involvement in solid waste management improvement initiatives is critical for informing interventions in slums. Methods. We used a cross-sectional study to collect quantitative data from 435 residents in two urban slums in central Uganda. A semistructured questionnaire was used which assessed waste collection practices, separation and disposal methods, concerns regarding solid wastes, and willingness to participate in waste separation and composting. Data was analysed using STATA 12. Results. Food remains (38%) and plastics (37%) formed the biggest proportion of wastes generated in households. Most households (35.9%) disposed of general wastes by open dumping while 27% disposed of plastics by burning. Only 8.8% of households conducted composting while 55% carried out separation for some decomposable wastes. Separation was carried out for only banana peelings and leftover foods for feeding animals. Respondents expressed high willingness to separate (76.6%) and compost (54.9%) solid wastes. Conclusion. Practices in waste disposal and separation were poor despite high willingness to participate in initiatives to improve waste management, highlighting a need for authorities to engage residents of slums to improve their practices.

Solid waste management in coastal cities: where are the gaps? Case study of the North Coast of São Paulo, Brazil

Coastal cities are surrounded by important but fragile ecosystems that are under pressure from population growth, tourism and large commercial enterprises. These factors contribute to a complex solid waste management situation, which is exacerbated by lack of planning and sanitation infrastructure, common factors in cities in developing countries. The municipalities of the North Coast of Sao Paulo State were used as study cases to analyze public policies for solid waste management in the coastal zone, with wide seasonal variations in population and solid waste production. The analysis included planning, implementation, performance indicators and future prospects. The results revealed that some key issues that are critical to the development and improvement of solid waste management in these cities must be considered: (1) the main focus of the plans and future pros- pects is landfills; (2) only a few of the outputs and outcome indicators are related to MSW; (3) recycling is not well imple- mented; and (4) no indicators of the amount of waste recycled are established. Solid waste management in these municipalities should be strategically reframed in order to adopt more-sustainable alternatives for waste treatment, with outputs and outcome indicators to evaluate policy implementation. In addition, citizen (residents and tourists) should be encouraged in monitoring and implementing these policies.

Community-based solid waste bank program for municipal solid waste management improvement in Indonesia: a case study of Padang city

Indonesia has a regulation UU No. 18/2008 which changes the paradigm from waste dumping to recycling. The purpose of this study is to understand the achievement and obstacles of community-based waste recycling through the solid waste bank (SW bank) program and its potency to improve the local MSW management in Indonesia. SW bank program is a unique organization developed among Indonesian communities to facilitate citizen participation in solid waste recycling. The banking system is adopted, and the community deposits the wastes instead of money. Case study was done for Padang city. The existing condition in 2013 suggests that the amount of solid waste recycled by SW bank activity was only 0.05 % of the total MSW generation. This condition results in 35 % waste without proper treatment. To improve the existing condition, development scenario is planned for 15 years. This development scenario may result in the increase of recycling amount of SW bank activity to 6 % of the total MSW generation in 2028. SWOT analysis suggests that some strategies such as creating a local regulation may be adopted to utilize the potency of SW bank for local MSW management improvement.

How Assessment Methods Can Support Solid Waste Management in Developing Countries—A Critical Review

Selecting actions for improvement of solid waste management in low and middle income countries and understanding how a specific decision choice will fit and impact on a local context is key to identifying sustainable solutions. Assessment of the choice (be it technical or managerial) and assessment of the local enabling or disabling conditions are both important steps in the decision making process. Various assessment tools and methods are currently available to support decision-making in solid waste management. Assessment can be used to identify weaknesses or strengths of existing systems in a structured way and hereby highlight factors of success and failure. Assessment methods can also evaluate and compare different possible choices as in project scenarios. This overview describes established and innovative assessment methods serving both these purposes. A range of assessment tools are often designed to assess a specific sustainability domain (technical, environmental and health, economic and financial, social and institutional, organizational aspects), others attempt to provide a more holistic picture by integrating different sustainability domains into the same tool. This paper reviews a number of methods describing and discussing each of them, and referring to their use in low and middle-income countries if published in scientific literature. The overview concludes that in low- and middle-income countries the use of comprehensive assessment methods is yet very limited. We hypothesize that most formal methods of assessment are still too complex and generally overburden the weak local capacities intended for their usage. The few applications identified, were conducted by academia for scientific purposes. Lack of resources to collect the vast data required for some assessment methods is a further restriction to their practical application. Future development is suggested to improve user friendliness of existing tools or to simplify certain approaches and develop more appropriate methods. A user-oriented focus in the development of assessment tools would enhance their application, provide sound data for informed decision making and foster a dialogue between technicians and policy makers in low- and middle-income countries.
