Community participation has a direct bearing on effective solid waste management. Investigation on community attitude, perception and willingness towards solid waste management was carried out in Bangalore city. Households data was collected randomly based on their socioeconomic status using focus group discussion and structured interviews. On an average 63% of the households are willing to par...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a major problem in modern societies, even though the significant efforts to prevent, reduce, reuse and recycle. At present, municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) in waste-to-energy (WtE) plants is one of the main management options in most of the developed countries. The technology for recovering energy from MSW has evolved over the years and now sophisti...

The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can protect against exposure to the COVID-19 virus, but on other hand it causes an increase in generation plastic waste. amount PPE waste is estimated at 1.6 million tons per day with masks or face shields worth 3.4 billion day. urgency handling not only due volume waste, also nature virus that survives solid surfaces. This publication aims provide...

Environmental push for green does not mean only to reduce, reuse and recycle. Instead, it demands us to explore innovative strategies by utilizing available naturalresources in a long sustainable manner to regain our original environmental scenario with efficient energy optimization, minimal generation of waste and healthy living which indirectly solves the issue of global warming. Keeping this...

In the approach of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’, ‘reduce’ is commonly regarded as most advisable. Yet surprisingly little attention drawn to low-tech movement which strives promote this approach. This often perceived a marginal curiosity rather than serious architectural proposition. Low-tech architecture associated with unprocessed, simple materials occasionally discussed in publications, but anal...

Improper waste disposal and management globally is linked to a variety of problems with the environment and health. This problem can be addressed by following the 3 R’s; reduce, reuse, and recycle. Japan is continually aiming towards becoming a sustainable, recycling oriented society with the implementation of the 3 R’s, reducing GHG emissions, and innovating new technologies for recycling and ...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles supports reuse, reduce and recycle concept towards the environmental friendly synthesis and also produce the good results compare to chemical methods in some of the cases. MgO nanoparticles can be prepared by solution combustion synthesis using citric acid is a fuel. The same citric acid is available in the nature in so many form just like tamarind, lemon and or...

Better understanding of the current product End-of-life sustainable practices leads to important feedback for the design of more “sustainable” so called eco-products, by identifying the design improvements that reduce the impact of manufactured goods on the environment and society. In this paper, we propose a way to assess the impact on product design that ultimately helps on deciding the produ...
