“…It also should be noted that animal fats/lipids such as chicken fat, tallow, lard, waste fish oil (Sharma et al, 2014) and so on are not truly of no commercial value for they are in high demand in many parts of the globe as food/feed ingredients and hence, are not considered as ideal waste oil feedstocks for sustainable biodiesel production practices.…”

HIGHLIGHTSThis article fully discusses the recent trends in the production of one the most attractive types of biofuels, i.e., biodiesel.with a focus on the existing obstacles for its large scale production. Moreover, recent innovations/improvements under three categories of upstream, mainstream, and downstream processes are also presented. Upstream strategies are mainly focused on seeking more sustainable oil feedstocks and/or enhancing the quality of waste-oriented ones. The mainstream strategies section highlights the numerous attempts made to enhance agitation efficiency including chemical and/or mechanical strategies. Finally, the innovative downstream strategies basically dealing with 1) separation of biodiesel and glycerin, 2) purification of biodiesel and glycerin, and 3) improving the characteristics of the produced fuel, are comprehensively reviewed.

“…Nowadays, due to urbanization and vast population growth around the world the environmental issues associated with vast production of different types of biomass and their conversion to value-added products have become more critical than ever [1][2][3]. These environmental issues have different aspects which should be controlled by governments and local authorities.…”

The amount of waste has been greatly increased due to population growth and industry development, which has an undeniable effect on human health and the environment. The way of handling the situation becomes a major problem since inappropriate management is likely to have devastating effects on public health and the environment. The present study reviews the side effects of wastes on the human and determines the countries producing the largest amounts of waste. To do so, published papers on the effects of waste on human were reviewed using the data available on the ISI-Web of Science. The number of articles on the subject as on February 21, 2016 were 436. These papers were categorized into four main classes based on the waste type (medical waste, municipal waste, electronic waste, and industrial waste), and each category was separately analyzed. According to the results America, Jordan and Kuwait have the highest amounts of medical waste production. Thus, their people have more exposure to diseases such as respiratory problems, skin diseases, hepatitis A and B, cancer and so forth. The highest municipal wastes are produced in countries such as Norway and Mexico. Their people are exposed to diseases such as breath, respiratory and reproductive problems. The amount of industrial waste production in Asia (countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia) is higher than other Asian countries. Recommendations for proper management according to the conducted research were stated. Finally, gaps and suggestions in this area were identified and mentioned. This research can help those who are interested in studying the effects of wastes.
