“…The NMFC compared to NMF would be a better option as alternative fuel due to its higher total carbon and hydrogen content. However, a high nitrogen content would also increase the risk of nitric oxide emission (Shumal et al, 2020).…”

Waste Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are one of the most valuable and recycled components of electronic waste due to the presence of precious metals such as copper, silver, gold and palladium. The rejects of the PCB recycling process, named non-metal fraction (NMF) have continuously been sent to landfills. Several researchers have proposed alternative use of NMF as secondary materials such as fillers in composites or as adsorbent. This study is focused on the potential application of the PCB recycling rejects as waste-derived fuel or alternative fuel in the cement industry. Approximately 2 million metric tonnes (Mt) of this waste was produced in 2014 globally and estimated to reach 6.5 million Mt in 2050. The presence of high organic matter in the NMF renders it useful as an alternative fuel. The organic content of the NMF could also potentially be increased using gravity separation and thus increasing its net calorific value. The study showed that the NMF could provide up to 21 MJ kg-1 of heating value with low heavy metal and ash concentration. A comparison with other waste-derived fuel sources is also presented in the paper.

“…European countries such as Germany had an alternative fuel substitution rate of 65% in 2010–2012 (Sharabaroff et al, 2017). Shumal et al (2020) showed that ~130 million Mt of waste had been treated in more than 600 waste to energy plants globally.…”

“…Proper waste management can help to prevent pollution in the environment. Waste reduction can be accomplished through the application of the four R's, namely Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Replace [2], [3], [5], [6]. Meanwhile, waste management can be accomplished by sorting, collection, transportation, processing, and ultimate processing.…”

This paper discusses the urban waste management issues that many cities in developing countries face. Waste that is not properly managed has an impact on the quality of human health and the environment. This study takes a case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. This case study was conducted in Metro City, an Adipura-winning city with waste management issues. Because the government has limited resources for waste management, involving the private sector and civil society is a viable option, according to the research findings. Waste management necessitates the collaboration of many parties, each with their own set of responsibilities, such as the government's regulatory and facilitation functions. Meanwhile, the private sector is split into two sections: waste management and waste management as a sponsor or donor. Furthermore, to strengthen partnerships between the regional government, the private sector, and the community through socialization and the implementation of the Waste Bank as a model for managing waste sourced from the market in order to improve waste management and achieve sustainable development...

“…The amount of MSW produced per capita in Iran is estimated to be 0.5 and 0.745 kg per day, in rural and urban areas, respectively. Currently, more than 180 million tonnes of solid waste are generated annually in the country (Shumal et al, 2020). MSW is characterized on average as being made up of 70.23% organic content, 7.2% plastic, 9.13% paper and cardboard, 1.73% metal, 1.81% glass and 3.55% textile, and the remainder includes hygiene products, wood, leather and other miscellaneous types of waste (Rupani et al, 2019).…”

Adoption of sustainable solid waste management and treatment approaches: A case study of Iran

Developing countries face serious environmental, social and economic challenges when it comes to managing different kinds of solid waste. Iran, as one such country, is forced to deal with many difficulties including the absence of a comprehensive policy framework, a lack of technical know-how, insufficient financial resources and lack of proper disposal facilities. This study attempts to suggest ways to overcome those problems by providing applicable waste management solutions to the local conditions. The research was performed in four structured phases: diagnosis of the existing solid waste management system practised, identification of areas of weakness in the waste management frameworks, bridging the gaps to ensure the sustainability of the concepts offered, and finally the provision of affordable solutions. A source-separated collection system for wet and dry fractions was drawn up. Establishment of a mechanical biological treatment facility and the introduction of biological treatment technology were considered as the main treatment options. From the economic point of view, the extended producer responsibility concept was provided as a resource management tool. The involvement of the stakeholders, as well as the public–private partnership model, was identified as the cornerstone in the planning and implementing of the new approaches. A roadmap was consequently designed aimed at gradually introducing a waste management system in a sustainable and environmentally sound manner.
