China meets increasingly serious solid waste problems and has adopted various policies in response in recent years. Meanwhile, few studies have investigated the performance of solid waste disposal through statistical analysis with empirical data. This study examines provincial resource use policy's influence on the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste in Chinese cities. Through comparing results for statistical analysis in the year 2009 and 2015 by multiple linear regression analysis, this study analyzes similarities and differences in the drivers for solid waste disposal in the era of the 11th Five-Year Plan and the 12th Five-Year Plan in China. It finds that the adoption of resource use policy positively increases the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste. Other factors such as industrial SO 2 emission, local environmental regulations, GDP per capita, population density and educational level also affect industrial solid waste disposal. Therefore, China should continue implementing solid waste disposal policies, upgrade current industrial systems, push forward economic and social reform and increase environmental education to enhance the effectiveness of solid waste disposal for long-term sustainable development.

“…Peningkatan populasi, pertumbuhan ekonomi, urbanisasi dan industrialisasi meningkatkan jumlah timbulan sampah yang diproduksi. Terlebih lagi, kurangnya infrastruktur untuk pengumpulan, transportasi, pengolahan dan pembuangan limbah padat, perencanaan pengelolaan yang tidak tepat, sumber daya keuangan yang tidak memadai, kurangnya kemampuan aspek teknis dan sikap masyarakat yang apatis mengakibatkan sampah dianggap sebagai sumber masalah lingkungan dan kesehatan masyarakat (Afroz, Hanaki and Tudin, 2011;Srivastava et al, 2014).…”

“…Selain itu, perlu diperhatikan pula cara penanganan sampahnya. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, masih terdapat sampah yang hanya diletakkan di lahan kosong dilakukan oleh responden sebanyak 29%, perilaku ini tidak baik karena sampah basah akan dapat menjadi sarana penularan penyakit (Srivastava et al, 2014). Karena sampah basah dapat digunakan sebagai tempat bersarang berbagai vektor penularan penyakit.…”

AbstrakPengelolaan sampah perkotaan merupakan salah satu tantangan besar yang harus dihadapi daerah perkotaan di negara-negara berkembang. Dari total 16 kecamatan yang ada di Kota Semarang, salah satu kecamatan yang belum terlayani oleh pengangkutan sampah oleh dinas terkait adalah Kecamatan Gunungpati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis potensi pengurangan sampah (waste reduction) dengan memperhitungkan aspek ekonomis dari sampah (terutama anorganik) menggunakan survey primer dan kuesioner dengan pengukuran timbulan dan komposisi sampah mengacu pada SNI 19-3964-1994. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa potensi reduksi sampah oleh perumahan permanen adalah sebesar 53% sampah mudah membusuk yang berpotensi untuk pengomposan dan 17% sampah anorganik untuk daur ulang yang bisa memiliki potensi sampai Rp. 672,125 perhari. Potensi reduksi sampah untuk perumahan kos permanen adalah sebesar 16% sampah organik untuk pengomposan dan 47% sampah anorganik untuk daur ulang; timbulan rumah makan/ warung 53% dapat diolah menjadi kompos, serta sebesar 17% akan di daur ulang dengan cara melakukan pengolahan sendiri atau dijual kepada penadah. SNI 19-3964-1994 Abstract Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the major challenges to be hadled in the urban areas of developing countries. Of the total 16 districts in Semarang City, Gunungpati District has not received waste management service. This study aimed to analyze the potential for waste reduction emphasizing the economic aspect of the household waste in Sekaran village. This descriptive analytical research using primary survey and a questionnaire to measure the composition and trash (refers to the

“…An exponential increase in population growth and economic development together with technological advancement has greatly accelerated the MSW generation rate in developing as well as in developed nations (Minghua et al 2009;Srivastava et al 2015). As per report of World Bank (2012), the global volume of waste generation is around 1.3 billion tonnes per year in 2012; the figures are expected to rise up to 2.2 billion tonnes per year by 2025.…”

“…To the dismay, a large fraction of solid waste in most of the developing countries is disposed off unscientifically in open dumps or landfills that generate gases which is mainly composed of CH 4 and CO 2 . These gases are proven cause of global warming; of which methane has global warming potential of 25 times higher than carbon dioxide (Hegde et al 2003;Srivastava et al 2015). If possible efforts are not taken, the situation is going to worsen in the recent decades.…”

There is continuous increase in quantum and variety of waste being generated by anthropogenic activities. Burgeoning amount of waste being generated has potential to harm the environment and human health. Aggravating the problem, ever-increasing energy demand is putting strain on the non-renewable sources of energy and there is huge gap between the demand and supply of energy. This has led the scientific communities to adopt innovative methods to reduce, reuse and recycle them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to minimize the quantity of waste and meet the current demand profile of energy is required; technologies to recover energy from waste can play a vital role in substantial energy recovery and reduction in waste for final disposal; in addition to meet the rising energy requirement. Generating power from waste has greatly reduced the environmental impact and dependency on fossil fuels for electricity generation. Economically also it is an optimal solution for recovery of heat and power from waste. This paper gives an overview of energy potential stored in waste, major available waste-to-energy technologies and also strategic action plan for implementation of these technologies.
