background and purpose: due to the lack of accurate statistics on the amount of waste generated in the energy production sector in zahedan, before any planning, one should identify all waste producing centers associated with the energy sector and also the quantity and quality of their waste in zahedan. materials and methods: this research is a cross-sectional descriptive study. it examined the ...

background and objectives: hospitals usually generate large amounts of hazardous waste. if not managed properly, hospital waste can pose threats to public safety and damage the environment. waste minimization is a waste management approach that focuses on reducing the amount and toxicity of hazardous wastes. this study pursues a two-fold purpose: 1) to gain insight into hospital waste minimizat...

Urgent transformation is required in Ireland to divert biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) from landfill and prevent increases in overall waste generation. When BMW is optimally managed, it becomes a resource with value instead of an unwanted by-product requiring disposal. An analysis of survey responses from commercial and residential sectors for the Dublin region in previous research by the a...

Electronics waste is becoming a crisis for the society. Huge accumulation of e-waste and their recycling through primitive means for extraction of precious metals is real concern in the developing countries as e-waste contains hazardous materials. Recycling of e-waste through proper technologies is, however, considered to be a profitable business in developed countries due to the presence of pr...
