Collegiate sporting venues have been leading efforts toward zero-waste events in pursuit of more sustainable operations. This study audited the landfill-destined waste generated at the University of Missouri (MU) football stadium in 2014 and evaluated the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy use associated with waste management options, including options that do and do not comply with zer...

Industries in New York State and across the United States need to implement waste minimization programs. The highest priority for these management programs is the elimination and reduction of wastes, then, any waste which cannot be eliminated or reduced should be evaluated to determine if any recycling opportunities exist either onor off-site. Due to the complex interaction of production, proce...

The reality is that waste reduction is important to environmental quality and economic productivity alike. The people are a growing circle of practitioners radiating from pioneering efforts in state government. The tool that I will describe today is a computerized teaching and information "waste reduction advisory system" developed by a w o r k group of State, Provincial and USEPA people under ...

backgrounds and objectives:today, one of the most important environmental issues is solid waste produced in dentistry that because of the presence of hazardous, toxic and pathogen agents has special importance. in this survey, solid waste produced in hamadan dentistry laboratories and practical dentist offices is studied.materials and methods: in this descriptive study, from 24 dentistry labora...

The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

Mixed-microbial assemblages enriched from a septic tank, coastal sediment samples, the digester sludge of a brewery wastewater treatment plant and acidic sulfate soil samples were compared on the basis of growth rate, waste and sulfate reduction rate under sulfate reducing conditions at 30 degrees C. The specific growth rate of various cultures was in the range 0.0013-0.0022 hr(-1). Estimates o...

feasibility of waste lime sludge (ls) obtained from acetylene gas production industry wasstudied during co-composting of vegetable waste for enhanced volatile solids reduction. four different trialswere carried out with varying percentage of ls combinations i.e. trial 1, trial 2, trial 3 and trial 4. increasedaddition of waste ls raised the levels of ph in the compost, thereby volatizing the ni...

Waste water, spent solvents, and spent process solutions are the major waste streams generated in large volumes daily in electroplating plants. These waste streams must be sigdicantly reduced to prevent pollution and reduce end-of-pipe treatment cost. In this endeavor, a computer-aided tool, WMEP-ADVISOR, is developed for source reduction by resorting to artificial intelligence techniques. This...
