Multi-objective optimization in waste plastics - recycling vs thermo-valorization

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo

In the past few years, waste management has received increasing attention not only from industry but also from academics. With an increase in plastic content, motivated by China’s ban on its import, waste composition is expected to change in the near futur ...

Transportable Versus Centralized Recycling Plant: Environmental and Cost Assessment

The purpose of the study is to determine the environmental and economic balance between the collection of wastes and their transport to a centralized recycling plant versus the displacement of a recycling plant near the waste source locations. Two systems ...

Enlightening advances in critical raw material recovery from industrial wastes using high voltage electric pulse crushers

Pierre Rossi

Electric pulse fragmentation (EPF) is a novel comminution process where ‘lightning bolts’, or highly energetic electrical discharges, are applied to materials immersed in water. These discharges exploit the variability in electrical and acoustic properties ...

Biorecovery of Precious Metal Nanoparticles From Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments

Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera

The accelerating rate of accumulation of electronic waste or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a global problem due to the environmental and health consequences. Recycling of WEEE is a sustainable solution to overcome this problem. Use of ...

Valuing waste as resource: Mechanisms of change in developed and developing countries

Rémi Jaligot

The total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide in 2012 was approximately 1.3 billion tonnes. Were all countries to continue to generate waste at the current rate of high-income countries, total waste generation could reach 5.9 billion tonnes by ...

A general framework for routing problems with stochastic demands

Michel Bierlaire, Sacha Varone, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Iliya Dimitrov Markov

We introduce a unified modeling and solution framework for various classes of rich vehicle and inventory routing problems as well as other probability-based routing problems with a time-horizon dimension. Demand is assumed to be stochastic and non-stationa ...

2017

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), or e-waste, is the fastest growing waste stream and can cause harm to human health and the environment when not treated properly. Especially in developing countries e-waste is often treated under critical h ...

A World Resources Forum Production, PSI2017

Sustainable recycling of e-waste bares opportunities as well as obstacles - mainly for small and medium size enterprises. Especially the current challenging market situation for second- hand raw materials makes it difficult for small e-waste recyclers to o ...
