Solid waste management in Nigeria is a social and public health concern. Waste problems are more serious in cities as the communities lead a non-indigenous lifestyle with respect to resource consumption and wastage. Nigerian municipal waste has organic bio ...
This paper presents the design and construction of a 36m2 gridshell, the rigidity of which is achieved through the bending of an initially flat grid of 210 reclaimed skis. The generated waste for its production is near zero as it is mostly built from disca ...
Production of secondary aluminium (Al) currently represents about 70% of total European Al production with a still rising trend and about 50% European final Al demand. The utilization of anthropogenic Al resources as secondary raw materials is therefore a ...
A methodology has been developed to apply value chain analysis (VCA) to the informal recycling sector, and demonstrated using the Zabaleen in Cairo, Egypt as a case study. The VCA methodology provides a ⿿toolkit⿿ comprising four stages. The first involves ...
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 ...
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 ...
In light of the environmental consequences of linear production and consumption processes, the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum as a concept and practice, promoting closed material cycles by focusing on multiple strategies from material recycling ...
As strategies in sustainability permeate modern engineering approaches, opportunities to re-engineer our water and sanitation systems in ways that simultaneously address human and ecological needs become apparent. Yet uncertainties remain regarding the hum ...
Recyclable materials for simultaneous detection and uptake of ammonia (NH3) are of great interest due to the hazardous nature of NH3. The structural versatility and porous nature of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) make them ideal candidates for NH3 capture ...
We consider a complex recyclable waste collection problem that extends the class of vehicle routing problems with intermediate facilities by integrating a heterogeneous fixed fleet and a flexible assignment of origin and destination depot. Several addition ...
