Transaction Costs in Collective Waste Recovery Systems in the EU [PDF]
The study aims to identify the institutional flaws of the current EU waste management model by analysing the economic model of extended producer responsibility and collective waste management systems and to create a model for measuring the transaction costs borne by waste recovery organizations.

Feasibility of Direct Disposal of Salt Waste from Electochemical Processing of Spent Nuclear Fuel [PDF]
The US Department of Energy decided in 2000 to treat its sodium-bonded spent nuclear fuel, produced for experiments on breeder reactors, with an electrochemical process. The metallic waste produced is to be cast into ingots and the salt waste further processed to form a ceramic waste form for disposal in a mined repository.

Solid Waste Detection, Monitoring and Mapping in Remote Sensing Images: A Survey [PDF]
The detection and characterization of illegal solid waste disposal sites are essential for environmental protection, particularly for mitigating pollution and health hazards. Improperly managed landfills contaminate soil and groundwater via rainwater infiltration, posing threats to both animals and humans. Traditional landfill identification approaches,
