Book excerpt: In this study, the solid waste management systems in Alberta and British Columbia are analyzed and compared. Geographically, Alberta and British Columbia are located side by side in Western Canada. These two provinces were selected and compared with respect to the non-hazardous waste generation characteristics and diversion practices. The municipal solid waste data were collected from Statistic Canada from 1996 to 2010. On average, about 1,464 samples were reported in the survey year from both of the business and the government sectors. The waste data was verified and processed for analyses. It was found that both in Alberta and British Columbia the non-residential waste generation is considerably higher than the residential waste generation during the study period. It is also found that the average family income per capita has shown a positive relation with the residential waste generation per capita in both provinces. Gross domestic product per capita has a positive relationship with the non-residential waste generation per capita in Alberta and British Columbia. With respect to waste diversion practices, it is found that the British Columbia system is much more effective than the Alberta system. From 1996 to 2010, the average waste diversion rate in British Columbia was 30.6% and in Alberta it was about was 14.5%. Despite of the fact that Alberta generated 50.9% more nonresidential waste per capita than British Columbia, it spent only 18.3% more money in the business sector of waste management. The waste management policies in the provinces are also discussed. Linear models of total waste generation, generation of residential and non-residential waste per capita and diversion rate of residential and nonresidential wastes are proposed in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UNEP Governing Council of February 2013 requested the United Nations Environment Programme "to develop a global outlook of challenges, trends and policies in relation to waste prevention, minimization and management, taking into account the materials life cycle, subject to the availability of extra-budgetary resources and in consultation with Governments and stakeholders, building on available data, best practices and success stories, taking into account the Global Chemicals Outlook and any other relevant initiatives and taking care not to duplicate existing information, to provide guidance for national policy planning." UNEP's International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), in collaboration with the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), has taken the lead on this initiative; aiming to develop the Global Waste Management Outlook as a tool to provide an authoritative overview, analysis and recommendations for action of policy instruments and financing models for waste management. The GWMO is the result of two year's work and provides the first comprehensive global overview of the state of waste management around the world in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste was already a problem long before water and air pollution issues attracted public attention. Historically the problem associated with solid waste can be dated back to prehistoric days. Due to the invention of new products, technologies and services the quantity and quality of the waste have changed over the years. Waste characteristics not only depend on income, culture and geography but also on a society's economy and, situations like disasters that affect that economy. There was tremendous industrial activity in Europe during the industrial revolution. The twentieth century is recognized as the American Century and the twenty-first century is recognized as the Asian Century in which everyone wants to earn ‘as much as possible’. After Asia the currently developing Africa could next take the center stage. With transitions in their economies many countries have also witnessed an explosion of waste quantities. Solid waste problems and approaches to tackling them vary from country to country. For example, while efforts are made to collect and dispose hospital waste through separate mechanisms in India it is burnt together with municipal solid waste in Sweden. While trans-boundary movement of waste has been addressed in numerous international agreements, it still reaches developing countries in many forms. While thousands of people depend on waste for their livelihood throughout the world, many others face problems due to poor waste management. In this context solid waste has not remained an issue to be tackled by the local urban bodies alone. It has become a subject of importance for engineers as well as doctors, psychologist, economists, and climate scientists and any others. There are huge changes in waste management in different parts of the world at different times in history. To address these issues, an effort has been made by the authors to combine their experience and bring together a new text book on the theory and practice of the subject covering the important relevant literature at the same time.
