“…This gravimetry differs from that observed in indigenous peoples in northern Canada, as organic waste reaches 38% and dry recyclable waste accounts for around 36% of the total (Wang et al, 2023). This difference demonstrates the importance of considering the local specificities of indigenous peoples, such as the context and needs of the community, the volume and type of generated waste (Salim et al, 2023).…”

“…In the Amazon, composting is a suitable solution for managing organic waste from isolated communities, such as indigenous communities (Jaramillo et al, 2023, Peñafiel-Arcos et al, 2022, Salim et al, 2023 or Quilombolas (Lima et al, 2021). This technique has considerable acceptance among indigenous communities in the Amazon to produce fertilizers and use in agriculture (Jaramillo et al, 2023).…”

“…The absence of waste collection in indigenous lands on the American continent has led to reports of the burning of plastic, paper and other waste in Guatemala (Cruz et al, 2023), Ecuador (Jaramillo et al, 2023, Peñafiel-Arcos et al, 2022, Vélez et al, 2019, Peru (Gascón, 2022), Colombia (Morales-Pérez et al, 2023, and Canada (Keske et al, 2018, Assuah & Sinclair, 2021, Wang et al, 2023, or its disposal in landfills in Canada (Oyegunle & Thompson, 2018, Assuah & Sinclair, 2021, Wang et al, 2023), Ecuador (Heredia et al, 2020 and Brazil (Aleixo & Braga, 2022) . These practices are observed in remote communities and increase the risks to the health of these people, through pollution of water, soil, and atmosphere, in addition to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (methane and carbon dioxide) (Salim et al, 2023, Fernández-Llamazares, 2020.…”

In the Amazon, solid waste collection is generally restricted to urban areas, excluding indigenous lands and rural areas. The objective of this research was to analyse the impact of collecting waste generated from indigenous lands on the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system, through life cycle assessment (LCA). A case study in the Humaitá city, state of Amazonas, Brazil, was based on life cycle inventory data, obtained from literature and field surveys, such as the waste gravimetry. The LCA followed the model proposed by ISO 14040 and 14044 and estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for three MSW management scenarios. The first, called Base Scenario (SB), corresponded to that practiced in Humaitá: collection of MSW from the urban area, logistic, and disposal in landfill. The second scenario (S1) corresponded to SB and the collection of waste generated on indigenous lands in that municipality. The third scenario (S2) corresponded to S1, excluding organic waste, which would be destined for composting on indigenous lands. The base scenario totalled an emission of 1,539 t CO2eq.year-1. Collecting solid waste from indigenous lands would increase these GHG emissions by 5.2% (S1) and 0.9% (S2) in relation to SB. The decentralized management of organic waste through composting associated with the separation and storage of dry waste would reduce the burning of waste in indigenous areas, their environmental vulnerability and promote the inclusion of these peoples.

“…However, not all municipalities or states, even in the Global North, have effective SWM systems (Bernardo et al, 2023). For instance, in Queensland and some rural Australian states, SWM systems are inadequate (Salim et al, 2023), whereas on the outskirts of the national capital city, Canberra, only two to three color‐coded bins are provided. Such communities exhibit mixed and contaminated waste (Bernardo et al, 2023), creating obstacles during separation as well as increasing landfill and incineration volumes, environmental impacts, and health risks (Zaman, 2015; Zaman & Lehmann, 2011).…”

Growing populations and consumption drive the challenges of solid waste management (SWM); globalization of transport, food production, and trade, including waste trading, distributes risks worldwide. Using waste hierarchy (WH; reduce, reuse, and recycle) and circular economy (CE) concepts, we updated a conceptual waste framework used by international organizations to evaluate SWM practices. We identified the key steps and the important factors, as well as stakeholders, which are essential features for effective SWM. Within this updated conceptual framework, we qualitatively evaluated global SWM strategies and practices, identifying opportunities, barriers, and best practices. We find that, although a few exceptional countries exhibit zero‐waste compliance, most fare poorly, as exhibited by the high waste generation, incineration, and disposal (open dumping, landfilling) volumes. In the Global North, SWM strategies and practices rely heavily on technologies, economic tools, regulatory frameworks, education, and social engagement to raise stakeholder awareness and enhance inclusion and participation; in the Global South, however, many governments take sole legal responsibility for SWM, seeking to eliminate waste as a public “nuisance.” Separation and recycling in the Global South are implemented mainly by “informal” economies in which subsistence needs drive recyclable material retrieval. Imported, regionally inappropriate tools, economic constraints, weak policies and governance, waste trading, noninclusive stakeholder participation, data limitations, and limited public awareness continue to pose major waste and environmental management challenges across nations. In the context of the framework, we conclude that best practices from around the world can be used to guide decision‐making, globally. Despite variations in drivers and needs across regions, nations in both the Global North and South need to improve WH and CE compliance, and enhance stakeholder partnership, awareness, and participation throughout the SWM process. Partnerships between the Global North and South could better manage traded wastes, reduce adverse impacts, and enhance global environmental sustainability and equity, supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Mitigation of marine debris in Manado City, the city which is situation in front of the Manado bay, is very important in order to prevent its effect on the coastal communities and as well as for the aesthetics point of view. That activities can directly protect the ecosystem of Bunaken Marine Park (BMP), and can become an important part of the marine waste management activities especially in supporting the commitment of Indonesian government to reducing plastic waste in the sea by 70% by 2025. For this reason, a marine waste management is needed and it should be prepared based on the academic study that are comprehensive and holistic as well as effective and efficient, and also suitable for environmental condition in Manado City. The study was aimed to formulate best options for the existing marine waste management in Manado City. By using qualitative-descriptive and content-analysis methods, four aspects of managemet were studied, and they are 1) public awareness, 2) institutional arrangements, 3) regulations, policies and management plans, and 4) waste management guidelines. The data obtained were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The public awarenes was qualitatively analyzed by using two indicators, community concern and community preference. The existing marine waste management was presented based on studied aspects and the best option was proposed as recommendation for marine waste management in Manado City.
