This book was released on 2019 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of landfill mining has evolved the way of transforming the existing landfills from a final waste disposal site to a temporary storage location for the potentially valuable resources. The convergence of the sustainable material management and environmental protection issues have emerged the demand for the feasibility study of the landfill mining both in environmental and economic aspects considering the scope of potential resource recovery. Few studies have been conducted either on the environmental impacts on waste management (especially incineration) and operational options or generalized cost-benefit estimation for landfill mining project. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate both the environmental and economic feasibility of an unlined cell (cell 1590A) of the City of Denton Landfill (Texas) which is containing approximately 2.6 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for around 30 years. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Cost-benefit Analysis (CBA) has been adopted as analyzing tools for the environmental and economic studies respectively. Two landfill mining alternatives (mining with waste relocation and mining with material recovery) were compared with no-mining (do-nothing) condition for both of the approaches. Comparative LCA results showed that the mining of 1 ton of MSW with material recovery can reduce about 0.1 million kg of equivalent CO2 than no-mining condition of landfill which worth of removing about 21 thousand cars from road per year. In cost benefit analysis the landfill mining with material recovery has been found to achieve a benefit to cost ratio of 2.20 gaining $37.4 million of total net benefit which worth a total Net Present Value (NPV) of $34.1 million in 10 years of project period. Therefore, the landfill mining with material recovery has been found to be most feasible options among the alternatives in both environmental and economic analysis. Separate LCA studies have been conducted to assess the energy saving potential of reusing the mined papers and plastics instead of virgin materials for producing plastic lumber and paperboard respectively. The reusing of mined plastics and papers have been found to save 1.8 million MJ and 2300 MJ of energy respectively for 1 ton of functional unit of product. It can also reduce about 0.4 million and 1300 kg of equivalent CO2 as well for 1 ton of plastics and papers respectively which is worth of removing 85 thousand and 276 cars from road per year respectively.Although the environmental and economic profiles of landfill mining would vary from case to case, the results of these analyses can be used as a baseline for future landfill mining projects.

Download or read book Cost Benefit Analysis of Environmental Health Interventions written by Carla Guerriero and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost-benefit Analysis of Environmental Health Interventions clearly articulates the core principles and fundamental methodologies underpinning the modern economic assessment of environmental intervention on human health. Taking a practical approach, the book provides a step-by-step approach to assigning a monetary value to the health benefits and disbenefits arising from interventions, using environmental information and epidemiological evidence. It summarizes environmental risk factors and explores how to interpret and understand epidemiological data using concentration-response, exposure-response or dose-response techniques, explaining the environmental interventions available for each environmental risk factor. It evaluates in detail two of the most challenging stages of Cost-Benefit Analysis in 'discounting' and 'accounting for uncertainty'. Further chapters describe how to analyze and critique results, evaluate potential alternatives to Cost-Benefit Analysis, and on how to engage with stakeholders to communicate the results of Cost-Benefit Analysis. The book includes a detailed case study how to conduct a Cost-Benefit Analysis. It is supported by an online website providing solution files and detailing the design of models using Excel. - Provides a clear understanding of the core theory of cost-benefit analysis in environmental health interventions - Provides practical guidance using real-world case studies to motivate and expand understanding - Describes the challenging 'discounting' and 'accounting for uncertainty' problems at chapter length - Supported by a practical case study, online solution files, and a practical guide to the design of CBA models using Excel

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is often considered to be a journey. The lifecycle of waste can similarly be considered to be a journey from the cradle (when an item becomes valueless and, usually, is placed in the dustbin) to the grave (when value is restored by creating usable material or energy; or the waste is transformed into emissions to water or air, or into inert material placed in a landfill). This preface provides a route map for the journey the reader of this book will undertake. Who? Who are the intended readers of this book? Waste managers (whether in public service or private companies) will find a holistic approach for improving the environmental quality and the economic cost of managing waste. The book contains general principles based on cutting edge experience being developed across Europe. Detailed data and a computer model will enable operations managers to develop data-based improvements to their systems. Producers oj waste will be better able to understand how their actions can influence the operation of environmentally improved waste management systems. Designers oj products and packages will be better able to understand how their design criteria can improve the compatibility of their product or package with developing, environmentally improved waste management systems. Waste data specialists (whether in laboratories, consultancies or environ mental managers of waste facilities) will see how the scope, quantity and quality of their data can be improved to help their colleagues design more effective waste management systems.
