Municipal Solid Waste Management

, 2011
Composting has proved an effective way for municipalities to reduce both space and methane gas in landfills. Through years of research and trial and error the best methods for municipal solid waste composting are better understood. With a firm understanding of the microbial processes that take place during composting, the parameters for achieving a ...

Tackling Environmental Impact: A New Support Tool for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Management

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel framework integrating Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA) within the Deming Cycle framework to address this gap. While valuable tools, ERA and MFA offer limited perspectives on environmental impact when used alone.
