How to support Carbon Reduction and Circularity by Suitable Waste Management Dipl.-Ing. (TU) Werner P. Bauer
In today's world, "decarbonization" seems to be the most important buzzword in environmental and climate policy. It is probably due to the general fascination with "geoengineering" that many first think of carbon capture and storage.
October 2022 EEC/WTERT Bi-Annual Conference took place in New York
"Sustainable Waste Management: The Forefront of Innovation" was the topic under which Prof. Marco Castaldi's organising team gathered a wide range of presentations from around the world:
Current Status of Healthcare Waste Generation and Management of a Facility for Sterilization and Crushing of Healthcare waste in the Republic of Korea Young-Sam Yoon
In this study, the status of healthcare waste generation and treatment, management system in Korea was investigated to figure out the overall status.
The Current Situation of Waste to Energy and Towards Carbon Neutrality in Material Cycles and Waste Management in Japan Masaki Takaoka
The incineration ratio of municipal solid waste in Japan is approximately 80%.
Evaluation of the recycling potential in accordance with pretreatment efficiency for ash discharged from waste incineration facilities in Korea Myung Kyu Choi, Jang-Hyun Kang, Young-Sam Yoon, Heung-Min Yoo, Hang Seok Choi
Due to recent policy changes in South Korea, the amount of incineration ash(IA) is expected to increase due to additional installation of incineration facilities or increased operation of incineration facilities.
History of WtE Technologies and Their Development in Korea Yong-Chil Seo
Waste should be managed by the principle with the concept of ‘integrated waste management’, which includes four options (Reduce, Recycle, Waste to Energy (WtE) or Combustion, and Landfill) implementing in order with priority.
Expected Multirole of New Age WtE Facility for SDGs and Circular Economy in Seoul Dong Hoon Lee
WtE offers an opportunity for “zero waste” by reducing over 90% of the MSW and yielding ash as a by-product and guarantees the minimum emission of pollutants into the environment.
Long-Term Health Impact Monitoring Results of WtE Facilities in Seoul Yoon-Seok Chang
This study investigated polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in air (n=108) and human serum (n=1,802) samples collected over 20 years
