The organic fraction of urban wastes can be considered a cost effective source of added value products for a wide number of uses. The present chapter describes different possible strategies for the treatment of organic wastes, used at the present time in many waste treatment plants. Subsequently the chapter deals with the isolation process of soluble bio-based substances (SBO) from urban biowastes at both laboratory and pilot plant scale. A detailed description of SBO composition and physical-chemical characterization is given.

“…Urbanization, industrialization, and enhanced living standards rise the complexity and quantity of generated MSW (Rathi, 2007;Gupta et al, 2015). MSW generally contains degradable (food waste, paper and cardboard, yard and textiles waste), partially degradable (disposable napkins, sludge, and wood), and non-degradable (plastics, dust, leather, ash, rubbers, glass, metals, and electronic waste) (Herat, 2009;Jha et al, 2011).…”

One of the most important environmental problems is municipal solid waste management (MSWM) as a result of the rapid rise in waste generation due to industrialization, economic development, urbanization, and rapid population growth in Turkey. The collection, transportation, and disposal of solid waste are conducted by municipal authorities of Turkey. The waste management problem is getting more serious due to some reasons such as lack of enforcement of regulations, weak technical and financial resources, poor infrastructure, insufficient policies and deficiency of political priorities, poor coordination between authorities. Hence, despite the legislation, municipal solid wastes are managed in an unscientific manner by the municipalities. The SWOT analysis is a perfect tool to discover the possibilities and ways for successfully implementing the MSWM. In this study, SWOT analysis carried out both negative and positive concerns of MSWM. A successful strategic management has been identified from the SWOT analysis for the municipal solid wastes. Further, the study proposes options based on SWOT analysis approach to improve in available waste management practices that could also be adopted by other countries to decrease the adverse effect of MSW on human and environment health.

This study aimed to obtain an equation model of the collection and transportation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Manado City, North Sulawesi. Common problems typically encountered in a system of waste management are, in particular, the vehicle routing, the loading capacity of the vehicle, travel time, the working time per day, and high operational costs. The methodology used in data retrieval is direct observation. Meanwhile, to create MSW collection and transportation equation model, drawing logical paths and pathways are made. After that, continue by defining the problem, setting goals, assigning functions as influential factors, making notations. To apply the equations, C ++ is used with a Codeblock editor. Three scenarios were developed in which scenario 1 uses an individual pattern directly, scenario 2 uses a pattern combination between individual directly with the communal directly, and scenario 3 uses a communal pattern directly. The analysis results show that scenario 3 produces a smaller value than scenarios 1 and 2. The number of vehicles required for scenario 3 is 45, and the number of routes per year is as high as 45,000. The distance is 674,172 km/year and the travel time is 120,242 hours/year. The conclusion is that optimization of travel time is proportional to the distance and operating costs as well as environmental costs. The operation of TPS3R, which facilitated by the government and managed by the community, requires active community involvement. Waste is reduced significantly, and the use of waste carrier vehicles is also reduced because the travel time and mileage decrease. The operational costs of waste management also decrease.
