Landfills are a major anthropogenic source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4). However, much of the CH4 produced during the anaerobic degradation of organic waste is consumed by methanotrophic micro-organisms during passage through the landfill-cover soil ...
Scarcity of natural resources and supply chain risks represent one of today's most vital topics. This issue very much applies to the electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) sector, as its production requires a mixture of various different kinds of raw ma ...

This Master thesis comes within the framework of the PURR project (Partnership for Urban Resource Recovery), which is a collaboration between the Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries (Sandec) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic ...
The environmental benefits of recycling are assessed against other end-of-life (EOL) treatments for Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) waste. Recycling via pyrolysis, incineration with energy recovery, and disposal via landfilling are compared. To acco ...
Method for detecting amyloidogenic proteinaceous material induced by a proteopathy, for instance Alzheimer's disease, characterized by the fact that said amyloidogenic proteinaceous material is detected in a mammal waste product, such as feces. ...
More than 100 million tonnes of municipal solid waste are incinerated worldwide every year1. However, little is known about the fate of nanomaterials during incineration, even though the presence of engineered nanoparticles in waste is expected to grow2. H ...
This document is the report of my second semester project at IPESE. Its objectives were to validate the energetic strategy 2035 of the “Canton du Valais”. The lecturer will see how the Swiss-Energyscope model has been adapted to the canton of Valais to com ...
In the metal cutting industry, manufacturers have strived to increase energy efficiency and to reduce environmental burdens through the use of dust collectors and waste disposers. It is more beneficial and efficient to apply the front-of-pipe technology th ...
Landfills continue to represent the most frequent managerial practice for municipal solid wastes and an increasing and complex problem globally. In certain countries, a transition to an open society and free market is superimposed on the transition to sust ...
