“…Agriculture and food processing plants represent point and diffuse sources of agricultural waste that are difficult to control (Hanson 2014). The deficiencies of the agricultural system attract the interest of effective management, which consider the inadequate disposal of material in landfills and the distribution of space, facing the challenges of greenhouse gases and the toxic runoff of water in useful fertile land (Gomiero 2018;Onu & Mbohwa 2021a;Warner 1980;Yusuf et al 2019). In addition to discarded nutritional and economic values, environmental, social, and cultural values are wasted.…”

The Brazilian agro-industrial chain generates about 291 million/tons/year of wastes, which, if inadequately destinated, could originate social and environmental risks. There is a growing need for the use of alternative raw materials to replace that originated from fossil resources in the Brazilian industry. Renewable materials play an important role on the sustainability of ecosystems and materials’ circularity. The issue has acquired importance in light of recent bio-based agro-fiber development potential applications. Considering sustainability guidelines, this study aimed to analyze the main Brazilian agro-industrial waste crops (temporary and permanent) as important sources of natural fibers and other raw materials. A systematic review of the literature (SRL) about Brazilian researches, based on concepts of industrial ecology, and the creation of a bibliometric analysis network were carried out. The agricultural biomass related to the main crops presents characteristics making them suitable to be applied for textiles, as natural fibers and polymers, in biosorbents for industrial effluents, and cellulose obtention and reinforcement material in composites. Thus, scientific investment in researches on materials and technology development are necessary to provide applications that could meet current and future demands and expand the scope of new materials for sustainability.

“…This is not sustainable but explains the relationship between income level and waste management method. In many communities of uppermiddle income countries, the level of waste collection is higher than in low income countries; but due to financial issues, inadequate knowledge on SW and lack of SWM prioritization; collected wastes are not properly treated or managed but dumped a bit far from communities or market (Kasmiro Gasim, 2019;Yusuf et al, 2019).…”

Effects of unsustainable solid waste management are found all around the world but it is worse in developing and under developed countries like East African Community (EAC) countries. A big proportion of their solid waste is not properly managed. This paper highlighted the situation of solid wastes management in EAC countries and compared with other countries. More than 62.5% of generated solid waste in EAC is organic, 19.6% of papers and plastics, 3% of glasses while other kind of waste occupies 14.9%. Waste management (WM) system in developing countries is dominated by insanitary landfill which cover more than 59% of the total collected SW, between 13 and 33% is openly dumped, a negligible quantity is recycled while between 6 and 26% is inappropriately thrown. Only less than 50% of the total generated solid waste (SW) in developing countries is collected and this is the same case in EAC. Sanitary landfill, sustainable composting, waste to energy (WTE) and other recycling system can change waste from unwanted materials to important products. Almost all generated wastes in developed and highly developing countries are collected, with high generation site sorting and sustainably treated and managed. Some countries achieved zero landfilling while others have sanitary landfills. The final destination of each kind of waste in developed countries determine collection mean and improve the quality of raw materials for recycling companies. Value of sorted waste to the recycling companies improves the interest of generation site sorting and maximization collection.

En este trabajo se establece una propuesta para un sistema de gestión integral de residuos sólidos domésticos (RSD) en la comunidad A´I Dureno, formada en su totalidad por indígenas de la nacionalidad Cofán, ubicada en la provincia de Sucumbíos de la Amazonía ecuatoriana. En esta locación se encuentran un grupo de viviendas construidas dentro del programa de Comunidades del Milenio impulsado por el gobierno nacional, de las cuáles solamente están habitadas 26 con un total de 129 personas. Actualmente más de la mitad de las unidades familiares queman los RSD como único tratamiento, generando impactos ambientales en la zona. La metodología que se utilizó consistió en diagnosticar las condiciones socio-ambientales de la comunidad mediante encuestas, en la determinación de la producción per cápita diaria (PPC) de los RSD mediante una caracterización aplicando la metodología de la Organización Panamericana de Salud (OPS) y en el desarrollo de una propuesta de modelo de gestión adecuado a las características demográficas presentes, desde educación ambiental hasta disposición final. Los resultados adquiridos determinaron que la PPC promedio de la comunidad es de 0,346 kg/hab/día y la categoría predominante fue la fracción orgánica con un 64,7% de un total de 44,63 kg de RSD producidos. Se plantea la adecuación de un área para la generación de compost y un sistema de reciclaje que permita la obtención de recursos económicos en beneficio de la población.
