Download or read book Waste Management written by Sunil Kumar and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid Waste Management is one of the essential obligatory functions of the Urban Local Bodies/Municipal Corporation. This service is falling too short of the desired level of efficiency and satisfaction resulting in problems of health, sanitation and environmental degradation. Due to lack of serious efforts by town/city authorities, garbage and its management has become a tenacious problem. Moreover, unsafe disposal of garbage and wastewater, coupled with poor hygiene, is creating opportunities for transmission of diseases. Solutions to problems of waste management are available. However, a general lack of awareness of the impact of unattended waste on people’s health and lives, and the widespread perception that the solutions are not affordable have made communities and local authorities apathetic towards the problems. The aim of this Book is to bring together experiences reported from different geographical regions and local contexts. It consolidates the experiences of the experts from different geographical locations viz., Japan, Portugal, Columbia, Greece, India, Brazil, Chile, Australia and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "(...) Cada vez mais os consumidores se preocupam em adquirir produtos e serviços éticos, ou seja, que foram produzidos, anunciados e comercializados a partir dos princípios expostos no Pacto Global. Os produtos e serviços, na nova percepção dos consumidores, levam junto o contexto da sua linha de produção e comercialização.

Download or read book Circular Economy written by Suzana Borschiver and published by Brasport. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Circular Economy, which is the central theme of this book, is based on the preservation and increase of natural capital by controlling finite stocks and balancing the flow of renewable resources. Both sustainability and Circular Economy concepts go together and share the objective of mitigating the negative externalities mentioned here. The strategies to find the possible answers go through several actions. An economic model that implies changes in the way of thinking and acting in a society requires the training of people and professionals focused on its application. The publication of this book was a way of delivering the results of this work to the society, placing its individuals as agents of social transformation. In this context, the chapters are varied purposefully, so that topics pertinent to Circular Economy can be discussed, but not consolidated in one work alone so far. If we strive for a more resilient economy, a fairer society, and a healthier environment, walking the path is needed. We hope that this reading can elucidate the subject and awaken a critical sense of what attitudes or strategies can get us started. The book aims to reach from readers specialized in the subject, professors, high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, to the curious, beginners in the world of Circular Economy and new business models.

This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Geospatial Information" is spatial data concerning a place or, in space, collected in real time. Geospatial techniques together with remote sensing, geographic information science, Global Positioning System (GPS), cartography, geovisualization, and spatial statistics are being used to capture, store, manipulate and analyze to understand complex situations to solve mysteries of the universe. These techniques have been applied in various fields such as meteorology, forestry, environmental management, agriculture, health, homeland security etc. around the globe. This volume presents case studies and examples from various parts of the world and provides a broad overview of various approaches; data sets; data acquiring, monitoring and dissemination methods; satellites and sensors; tools and techniques used; integrating tools, techniques and application to various fields for the sustainable management of environmental resources in the context of global environmental change and natural hazards. The objective of this book is to provide state-of-the-art information to academics, researchers and industry practitioners who are involved or interested in the study, use, design and development of advanced and emerging geospatial technologies around the world with ultimate aim to empower individuals and organizations in building competencies for exploiting the opportunities of the knowledge society. All the chapters are peer-reviewes and evaluated and are an inter- and multi-disciplinary source of information, making an effort to link various geospatial techniques to make the earth an habitable place. The contributors have tried to focus their respective views on the current problems that need urgent attention. Consequently, we see this book as a comprehensive information base, which includes work of expertise in their specific fields of research.

This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A implementação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (Lei 12.305/2010), o crescimento da população urbana, a crescente geração de resíduos sólidos e a carência de espaços para o tratamento e disposição final conduzem empresários, acadêmicos, políticos e a população a uma discussão sobre quais técnicas de manejo, tratamento e disposição devem ser utilizadas na gestão dos resíduos. Tendo em vista que a região do Grande ABC possui uma população de 2,7 milhões de pessoas e que em média é gerado quase 1 quilo de resíduo sólido urbano por habitante - dados de 2014 -, este trabalho discutirá as principais rotas energéticas empregadas na gestão dos resíduos sólidos urbanos, analisando e discutindo possibilidades para o aproveitamento do potencial energético dos resíduos gerados na região do Grande ABC. Os dados de geração de resíduos sólidos urbanos foram extraídos dos inventários estaduais de resíduos sólidos urbanos, publicados pela Cetesb, a composição gravimétrica nos planos municipais de resíduos sólidos, informações populacionais das cidades da Região do ABC dos bancos de dados do IBGE e os índices potenciais de geração de energia para cada rota energética dos resíduos obtidos na literatura atual. Foram analisadas as tecnologias de reciclagem, incineração, disposição em aterro e tratamento biológico, comparando-as entre si e verificando os respectivos potenciais de conservação ou geração de energia.
