   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waste management; LCA; LCC; systems analysis; decisionmaking; computer model;

   Abstract : Waste management is something that affects most people. Thewaste amounts are still increasing, but the waste treatment ischanging towards recycling and integrated solutions. In Swedenproducers’responsibility for different products, a taxand bans on deposition of waste at landfills implicates areorganisation of the municipal solid waste management. READ MORE

4. 2. Landfills and glass dumpsites as future bank accounts of resources : waste characterization and trace elements extraction

   Author : Yahya Jani; William Hogland; Monica Odlare; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Landfill mining; metals extraction; glass dumpsites; hazardous waste; chemical extraction; reduction-melting; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

   Abstract : Environmental pollution and health threats as well as scarcity of raw materials, water, food and energy are among the main challenges our world are now facing. Simultaneously, landfills and open dumpsites still are the dominant global waste disposal option even with their long term environmental impacts in case of greenhouse gases and contaminated leachates.

7. 5. Solid waste and the water enviroment in the new European Union perspective

   Author : Marcia Marques; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Processes that occur during storageand final disposal ofsolid waste were studied, with emphasis on physical andchemical aspects and their effects on the water environment,within the New European Union perspective for landfilling(Council Directive 1999/31/EC, 1999).In the new scenario, landfilling is largely restricted;waste treatments such as incineration, composting, recycling,storage and transportation of materials are intensified.
