Geotechnical and microstructural analysis of high-volume fly ash stabilized clayey soil and machine learning application

The weak soil stabilization using solid wastes is one of the most common solutions for improving geotechnical characteristics as well as for problematic waste dumping in landfills. The present experimental study aims to examine the effect of high-volume Class-F fly ash on the geotechnical and microstructural properties of clayey soil by adding them in ranges between 5 % and 50 %. The results show that as the amount of fly ash in clayey soil increases, properties like the specific gravity, plasticity index, permeability, optimum moisture content, maximum dry density and free swelling index improves. Moreover, these geotechnical properties were analyzed to develop machine learning models using three different algorithms, namely K-nearest neighbor regression, random forest, and support vector regression, for obtaining the optimum amount of fly ash contents in weak expansive soils. The predicted and experimental results found to be in close-relation for predicting the geotechnical behavior of modified clayey soil. Furthermore, the performance of the ML models degrades as the number of components reduces, with KNN regression consistently outperforming SVR and RF but suffering significantly with fewer components. The results of the testing set in the case of four components are MSE of 77, R² of 0.896, RMSE of 0.846, MAE of 0.327, and SEE of 0.858, indicating precise and consistent predictions. However, the prediction accuracy considering lesser components shows MSE as 262, R² as 0.648, MAE as 5.606, SEE as 16.707, and GPI as 1.056, confirming the elevated error rates. Overall, it has been concluded that combining comprehensive experimental work and machine learning techniques outperforms in enhancing geotechnical data processing, optimized waste contents in weak soils, improves sustainability in construction, saves resources, reduces the possibility of human mistakes, and increases reliability.

Service System Design of a Community-Shared Medicine Station

Increasing health awareness has led to a rise in household medication storage, but problems of medication waste and expired medication contamination have been highlighted. We conducted in-depth interviews and developed user personas to comprehensively analyse users’ drug storage behaviours and motivations. Using a semiotic approach to product architecture design and the analytic hierarchy process (SAPAD-AHP) model, we explored core user needs. Additionally, we identified improper disposal of expired medication at home as a significant environmental issue. We propose a community-shared medicine service model aimed at reducing medication waste and pollution through sharing and recycling resources. This model enhances the utilisation of medical equipment, offers users convenient and eco-friendly health services, and promotes sustainable development.

(Invited) Triboelectricity Based Self-Powered Sensing Towards Ecological Protection and Health Monitoring

In recent years, the necessity for the evolution of effective research approaches to develop self-powered sensing networks has gained significant attention in view of their importance as the element of Internet of Things (IoTs) in the present scenario of global energy crisis and ecological dilemma. In these circumstances, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) manifest remarkable potentiality and versatility in the eco-friendly approaches of self-powered sensing, considering their appreciable sensitivity to the environmental and applied conditions. By harvesting wasted energy, the triboelectricity based self-powered sensing networks exhibit promising prospect to be applicable in ecological protection and smart health monitoring by rapid detection of chronic diseases, as an effective step towards the wellbeing of human health and environment synchronically. In this talk, I will represent novel mechanisms for implementing the TENGs based on nano/micro-structured tribo-materials comprising polymer/semiconducting metal oxide composites and problematic waste materials into self-powered ultra-broadband photodetection, toxic gas sensing and early detection of chronic disease for the human health and environmental safety. This novel method for the instantaneous response of the triboelectric signals to the biomarker for specific disease provides a prospective framework for painless, rapid, very cost-efficient, and eco-friendly disease detection, which is anticipated to be widely preferred as more advantageous than some traditional methods owing to the convenience of both the patients and medical professionals. Additionally, the approach of reusing the problematic waste materials in these TENG devices presents an effective step towards the circular economy, in light of the environmental pillar of ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance).

The waste of nations: Household trash and the affective politics of recycling in Israel

Solid waste treatment is an acute concern for countries facing waning landfilling capacity, increasingly strict controls on waste transport and treatment, and the persistent threat of climate change. These challenges are typically met by neoliberal and technocratic solutions that privatize public services while encouraging curbside recycling. I examine such an effort to promote curbside recycling in Israel. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the Israeli recycling world, and on anthropology, geography, science and technology studies and critical waste studies literatures, I interrogate the affective politics of household waste recycling in Israel over the past decade and attempts to configure a Europeanized and moral national space through recycling. I describe the cultural and ethnonational repertoires through which curbside recycling was naturalized in the Israeli landscape, how recycling was mutually animated with a range of sociopolitical concerns that far exceeded its financial or environmental significance, and how these mutually shaped waste as a social–environmental problem. I argue that social and material conditions gave rise to a dual process, in which both the problem of waste, and its necessary solutions, were actively and mutually constructed. This paper contributes to comparative literatures on national cultures of waste recycling, shedding light on how a project of Western ecological modernization was translated and became locally meaningful in Israel's settler-colonial context, how household waste was ontologically coproduced in this process, and how its stakes were experienced, voiced, and materialized.

Disposing of single use: Evaluating the effectiveness of Berkeley’s anti-single use disposable foodware ordinance

Single use disposable (SUD) foodware is an increasingly large waste problem in the United States. One strategy to combat this rising problem is through targeted policy mechanisms. In recent years, many local and state jurisdictions have implemented anti-SUD foodware policies, aimed at banning or charging extra for the specific material and/or foodware types. In 2019, the City of Berkeley, California, passed a comprehensive anti-SUD foodware Ordinance, featuring numerous policy mechanisms to reduce SUD foodware, to foster more sustainable practices among food vendors, and be a model for other jurisdictions. Over the 4 years (2019–2022), we collected observational survey data based on the policy’s mechanisms to assess prepared food vendors’ compliance with the Ordinance and thus its effectiveness. The COVID-19 lockdown slowed adoption and implementation of the Ordinance and our data reflect this. In 2020—the second year of data collection—compliance decreased for 5 of the 8 policy mechanisms, rebounding in 3 of them 2 years later. This article ends with recommendations for actions the City can take to increase vendor compliance with, and thus effectiveness of, the policy. This study also contributes to current research discussions on waste, plastics and sustainability, and provides valuable insight into policy implementation processes on the ground.

Acoustic characterisation of boards manufactured with fruit stones mixed with coconut fibre

Sustainable and recycled materials are being used in a wide range of fields to solve a waste management problem and, at the same time, to confer them a second life. These materials include fruit stones of different crops: apricot, peach, cherry and olive. Employing fruit stones as acoustic materials contributes to minimise the environmental impact and to create a new product with interesting sound-absorption properties, apart from offering aesthetic added value. Some previous works have demonstrated the application of fruit stones panels as sound absorbers. This study aims to determine the acoustic properties of boards manufactured with a mixture of the four above fruit stone types. A coconut fibre layer is added to compare the results with and without coconut fibre. The experimental results show that acoustic properties improve by increasing board thickness and the sound-absorption coefficient is higher when a coconut fibre layer is added. Sound transmission loss is not significantly affected by adding the coconut fibre layer.

Recognition of Organic Waste Objects Based on Vision Systems Using Attention Convolutional Neural Networks Models

Purpose: High population growth and increasing consumption patterns have resulted in significant organic waste production. The public often does not understand the correct way to deal with the problem of organic waste, including public awareness regarding the need for its management. Therefore, a system is needed to recognize waste objects based on various types. Currently, much research in this field has been studying object recognition, for example, the implementation of the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model. However, there are still various challenges that must be addressed, including objects with diverse visual characteristics such as form, size, color, and physical condition. This research focuses on developing a system that enhances object recognition of waste, specifically organic waste, using an Attention Convolutional Neural Network (ACNN). By integrating attention mechanisms into the CNN model, this study addresses the challenges of recognizing waste objects with diverse visual characteristics. The proposed system seeks to improve the accuracy and efficiency of organic waste identification, which is crucial for advancing waste management practices and reducing environmental impact. Methods: This research combines a CNN architecture with an attention mechanism to create a better object detection environment called Attention-CNN (ACNN). The ACNN architecture employed consists of one layer input, three convoluted layers, three max-pooling layers, one attention layer, one flattened layer, four dropout layers, and two dense layers arranged in a certain way. Result: The research result shows that the model CNN with attention mechanism (ACNN) was slightly better at 86.93% than the standard model of CNN, which accounted for 86.70% in accuracy. Novelty: In general, the current use of CNN architecture to address waste object recognition problems typically employs standard architectures, resulting in lower accuracy for complex waste objects. In contrast, our research integrates attention mechanisms into the CNN architecture (ACNN), enhancing the model's ability to focus on relevant features of waste objects. This leads to improved recognition accuracy and robustness against visual variability. This distinction is important as it overcomes the limitations of standard CNN models in handling visually diverse and complex waste objects, thereby highlighting the novelty and contribution of our research.

Literature analysis of the location selection studies related to the waste facilities within MCDM approaches.

The increase in waste and related environmental problems is one of the major problems compromising health and environmental quality in urban and rural areas. There are a number of policies that can be implemented to reduce waste, but since it cannot be completely eliminated, recycling and disposal facilities for waste will always be required. Researchers and professionals are currently grappling with the issue of where to locate waste facilities. In the light of all this information, a literature review is presented so that researchers can easily access and systematically review previous studies on the waste facility location selection problem. At this point, in order to reduce the reviewed studies to a reasonable level and to conduct a more organized research, this literature research has conducted within the framework of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches, which is one of the most applied methods in location selection problems. The subsequent strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis delves into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the field, offering a concise guide for future research in waste facility location selection problem. The SWOT analysis highlights the strengths of global environmental awareness and versatile MCDM approaches, while addressing weaknesses in emerging technology integration and potential biases. Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and integration of sustainability metrics provide strategic pathways, but threats such as regulatory changes and limited funding underscore challenges. This analysis serves as a concise guide for future research in waste facility location selection.

A review on e-waste contamination, toxicity, and sustainable clean-up approaches for its management

Ecosystems and human health are being negatively impacted by the growing problem of electrical waste, especially in developing countries. E-waste poses a significant risk to ecological systems because it can release a variety of hazardous substances into the environment, containing polybrominated diphenyl ethers and heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, polychlorinated dibenzofurans and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and dioxins. This review article provides a critical assessment of the toxicological consequences of e-waste on ecosystems and human health and data analyses from scientific journals and grey literature on metals, BFRs, PBDEs, PCDFs, and PAHs in several environmental compartments of commercial significance in informal electronic trash recycling. The currently available techniques and tools employed for treating e-waste are sustainable techniques such as bioremediation, chemical leaching, biological leaching, and pyrometallurgy have been also discussed along with the necessity of implementing strong legislation to address the issue of unregulated exports of electronic trash in recycling practices. Despite the ongoing hurdles, implementing environmentally sustainable recycling methods have the potential to address the detrimental impacts of e-waste and foster positive economic development.

Kontribusi Nilai Islam Pada Program Instalasi Pengelolaan Air Limbah Berbasis Masyarakat Di Lingkungan 01 Kelurahan Tanah Seribu

Disposal of waste water which is a basic sterilization to oblige the kitchen to waste water and other waste. Seepage water drainage channels are very important, because waste water drainage channels can also limit the spread of disease to the local area. The aim of this research is to see the contribution of Islamic values ​​to the community-based wastewater management installation program in the 01 Tanah Seribu Village environment. This research uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Results of research on Islamic quality commitment to regional-based water waste by implementers of climate development programs in Tanah Seribu District 01, with details: 1) Viability is considered not yet ideal because the implementation of water content quality testing is not optimal because it does not pay attention to needs and the KPP's lack of attention to support WWTP. 2) The productivity of IPAL construction is considered large because it receives financial assistance from the APBN. However, functional expenditure is not yet ideal due to low regional support. 3) The arrangement should be ideal considering that the benefits of the program are mostly felt by the local area. 4) Adequacy is ideal because the IPAL program has many benefits. 5) Responsiveness regarding public reactions is considered certain, but open attitudes are still lacking. 6) Precision is not in accordance with Islamic qualities because there is no public awareness, but it is considered ideal because it tends to be the answer to the defeat of the water waste problem. Based on Islamic values, it can be concluded that the IPAL program in Environment 01, Tanah Seribu Subdistrict is in line with Islamic values ​​as seen in terms of environmental cleanliness which is increasingly maintained. However, on the other hand, community participation is still less than optimal in being responsible for protecting and preserving the environment.

Sustainable Food Waste Management in Food Service Establishments in Relation to Unserved Dishes

The problem of food waste in food service is recognized in the scientific community. A reduction in this phenomenon is necessary for the sustainable development of the food service industry. However, the issue of the influence of various characteristics of food service establishments (FSEs) on food waste has still not been studied sufficiently. The aim of this research was to assess the impact of the type of FSE, type of customer service, time in business of the FSE, and average daily number of consumers served on measures taken in FSE in relation to ready meals in the context of food waste. Survey research was conducted in 131 FSEs. It was found that the different groups of dishes that were prepared in excess and not served to consumers are most often stored in refrigerated conditions until the following day. The management of unserved dishes was correlated with business time and the type of FSE. Dishes like cold and hot snacks, in particular, were more often made available to employees in establishments with shorter time in business. In restaurants and small food service outlets/cafés, discarding was more often indicated as the management method for these types of dishes. The majority of food service establishments were not able to sell half portions. In conclusion, there is great potential to reduce food waste in food service establishments, but education of both staff and customers is essential.

Utilizing acid-etched Fe-waste for sustainable synthesis of conductive perovskite-type materials from automotive industrial residue

A common method for reducing waste and environmental problems brought on by landfills is to reuse waste, especially heavy metals such as iron. Automotive industrial waste containing Fe-rich metal is successfully transformed into a highly pure structure of Fe2O3 using an etching method with HNO3 acid. This resulting structure serves as a precursor for synthesizing LaNi1-xFexO3±δ perovskite conducting materials. The desired perovskite conductive phase can be produced by substituting Fe2O3-treated waste at the B-site (Ni position) before calcination at 1200 °C. However, LaNiO3±δ and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3±δ could not be synthesized under ideal conditions, as indicated by XRD analysis using TOPAS software, which revealed the presence of undesirable phases. Both compounds, LaNiO3±δ and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3±δ demonstrated electrical conductivity with values of 362 S/cm and 42 S/cm at 550 °C, respectively. Nonetheless, electrical conductivity of both compounds decreased due to unintended phase contamination during the synthesis process. The Fe2O3-substituted compounds at the Ni position, in an exact amount of 1 mol, exhibited minimal electrical conductivity. Although the synthesis conditions to produce a single phase of LaFeO3±δ were identified, LaFeO3±δ, despite its low electrical conductivity, is frequently used in electrical devices as a gas detection sensor. The thermal expansion coefficient of all synthesized waste samples is represented in the range of 12–13 × 10−6 °C−1, which is comparable to IT-SOFC electrolyte materials. Furthermore, microstructural investigation revealed that the introduction of Fe into LaNiO3±δ reduced particle size and porosity, ultimately resulting in higher densities. These findings were confirmed through synchrotron radiation x-ray tomographic microscopy (SR-XTM) analysis. The research suggests that converting Fe-waste into a pure phase of Fe2O3 using a strong acid etching technique can serve as a viable precursor for synthesizing conductive materials. This approach enhances the value of industrial waste while also reducing its volume.

Journalists in a circular economy: Stakeholders’ engagement in the media discourse on single-use plastics during the COVID-19 pandemic

The world faces an alarming plastic waste problem. The volume of plastic waste is rapidly and continuously increasing, mainly due to the single-use plastics overconsumption, whereas its recycling and utilization leave much to be desired. Despite the negative effects of plastic on the environment and public health, the COVID-19 outbreak shifted the public attention away from the environmental issues, potentially giving space for extended lobbyism by interest groups and industry to delay or even prevent legislation to combat plastic pollution.Our study aims to understand how the media discourse on single-use plastic (SUP) in particular, evolves in the course of the pandemic. How it vary across EU Member States? For this purpose, we specifically analyse plastic-related articles in major prestigious daily newspapers published between June 2019 and June 2021 in four EU Member States: Germany, France, Italy, and Poland, as countries with different levels of sustainable transition to form a representative model of an European context. Additionally, between November 2022 and January 2023, we conducted a series of interviews via Google Meet, with journalists who agreed to be asked on the plastic issues they upraised.Our analysis initially covered 1076 articles, out of which 198 articles were rejected due to non-compliance with the subject or repetition, leaving 878 articles forming the database for eventual analysis. Specifically, we outline a key impact of the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a clear evolution on the number of plastic-related articles, on related stakeholder engagement, and the focus on specific SUP items. Moreover, we address a research gap - presenting a media portrait of different types of SUP in more details and highlighting the significance based on several culturally and linguistically very different countries within a single supranational state (EU).A clear trend reversal towards an informed knowledge circulation across the circular economy model of single-use plastics is ultimately essential to develop sustainable solutions to reject the disposable culture, stop the waste of natural resources, and reduce the consumption of oil or gas for plastic production and thus protect the climate.

Al-Tasawuf wa Azmah al-Mustadāmah: Muqārabah Muta’addidah al-Takhaṣṣuṣāt Li Idārah al-Nufāyāt fī Indonesia Mustawḥāt min Mafhūm al-Khilāfah fī Rasāil al-Nūr

This research explores the relationship between the concept of Khilafah in the Risale-i Nur and the "Zero Waste" movement in Indonesia. The study utilizes a literature review, including a compilation of Risale-I Nur, data from the Zero Waste program in Indonesia's National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), and related literature. This data is then qualitatively analyzed and subjected to content analysis to describe the relevance and implications of it concept on the Indonesia Zero Waste movement. The research demonstrates that the concept of Khilafah transcends the anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, emphasizing human responsibility towards the environment. The research further illustrates how the concept of Khilafah utilizes the "Law of Purification" as a foundation for the "Zero Waste" concept. Despite the progress made by Indonesia in waste management, significant challenges remain. The research highlights the role of the Khilafah concept in fostering religious awareness and sensitivity within the "Zero Waste" movements. It elucidates that the connection between the Nursian Khilafah and the "Zero Waste" movements constitutes a religious basis and sensitivity that requires continuous attention. The research is expected to provide profound insights into the potential of the Nursian Khilafah in addressing waste problems and supporting the "Zero Waste" movement in Indonesia

The Evaluation of the Use PET and HDPE Plastic Waste as Coarse Aggregate of Lightweight Concrete

The use of goods with plastic-based materials is familiar to society in general. Good for wrapping food, drinks, groceries, and others. Because of so much use, the problem of plastic waste cannot be avoided. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to overcome environmental land problems due to plastic waste. This research focuses on how to apply PET (Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate) and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) plastic waste to concrete mixtures. PET plastic waste that has been chopped is then heated until melted then poured into molds and allowed to cool and harden. Then crushed and substituted as much as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replace the coarse aggregate to improve the characteristics of concrete. The results showed that the use of PET and HDPE in concrete resulted in decreased fill weight, lighter concrete weight, reduced compressive strength, and gave an optimum value of tensile strength at a variation of 10%. The use of PET plastic has a greater absorption value than HDPE, while the tensile strength value of PET is smaller than HDPE. Overall, it is concluded that PET and HDPE plastics have a big role in reducing the problem of plastic waste in the community

OPTIMIZATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SUMBAWA DISTRICT USING A DYNAMIC SYSTEM MODEL

The main problem that occurs in society today apart from basic needs is the problem of waste. This waste problem certainly needs a solution in good, effective, sustainable and long-term management. The waste issue not only occur in big cities but also in developing areas. Sumbawa Regency as one of the regions that continues to develop and grow requires optimum and long-term planning of solid waste management and systems. In 2021, the waste handled in Sumbawa Regency will only be around 17.5% of the total waste. This shows that the waste management system in Sumbawa Regency is not optimal. Optimal waste management can be achieved by taking an academic approach through model development. One such model is the dynamic system model. This can describe the causal relationship between variables that affect solid waste problems and to provide an overview of the waste management system through simulations based on the factors that influence the processing model. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an optimization model for waste management specifically in Sumbawa Regency using a dynamic systems approach. The purpose of this study is to describe waste management in the form of an optimization model for waste management in Sumbawa Regency with a dynamic system. Optimization results show that the optimistic model yields a total of 127.01 tons/day, the moderate model yields a total of 98.23 tons/day and the pessimistic model produces 62.5 tons/day
