This document discusses solid waste management practices in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka. It defines municipal solid waste and outlines the key stakeholders involved in waste management. It then describes Vavuniya's current practices, which include collecting around 87.6 tons of waste daily from homes and markets and openly dumping it at a site in Pampaimadu without separation. This open dumping and burning leads to environmental issues like toxic air and groundwater pollution. The document also lists several reasons for the improper management of waste in Vavuniya, including a lack of planning, expertise, community involvement, and disposal facilities.
1) Solid waste management in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka has become increasingly important due to rapid urbanization and population growth. The Urban Council of Vavuniya works to manage household, industrial, medical and other solid wastes.
2) Wastes are collected and either composted or dumped openly. Composting involves segregating degradable and non-degradable materials and creating layered stacks that are turned for 6 months to produce compost.
3) Open dumping occurs 14km from the city and causes environmental issues like pollution, disease spread, and impacts to local wildlife and livestock. The system faces challenges like insufficient collection, aging equipment, and lack of proper maintenance.

India faces a major waste management problem due to rapid urbanization and economic growth. It generates over 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, of which only 43 million tonnes is collected and under 12 million tonnes is treated. Major forms of waste include plastic, water pollution, food waste, and e-waste. Plastic pollution is a huge global problem, with 9% of plastic produced recycled and the rest accumulating in landfills and oceans. India also struggles with water pollution from domestic, industrial, and agricultural wastewater. Food waste is a major issue in India, especially at social gatherings, and e-waste recycling presents health and environmental risks if not handled properly. Short term solutions proposed include reducing waste

The document discusses trends in solid waste management, including circular economy approaches, life cycle thinking, zero waste initiatives, and greater involvement of the informal waste sector, private sector, and community participation. It provides examples of these trends from countries like China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, India, and municipalities like Mumbai. Circular economy laws in China integrate waste reduction, reuse, and recycling into all stages of production and consumption. Life cycle thinking aims to consider full environmental and social impacts over a product or material's lifetime. Market-based instruments like waste levies, deposit-refund systems, and tax exemptions are used to promote recycling and waste processing.
Municipal solid waste generation, composition, and management in the Douala m...Premier Publishers
The study evaluates municipal solid waste generation, composition, and management in the Douala municipality of Cameroon at landfill level. Load count analysis was used for the systematic assessment of the flows and stocks of materials within the landfill in space and time. Descriptive and inferential statistics methods were used to draw conclusions. The results show that, on average, municipal solid waste composition in the municipality has been changing over time. On average 490194580 Kg of wastes are generated per month, giving a per capita generation rate of 0.54 ± 0.071 kg person-1month-1. While inert (7.4±0.8), metal (2.6 ± 0.8), glass (3.5% ± 1.3), and paper (14.5% ± 0.9) wastes (2.0% ± 0.1) had higher proportions in the dry season, plastic (16.1% ± 2.6), organic (49.8.3% ± 3.1) and special wastes (2.0% ± 0.1) had higher proportions in the rainy season. However, at α = 0.05, all waste categories resulted in P > α, with extreme critical values for the test statistic t, suggesting that waste composition do not significantly differ from season to season. Similar results were observed for the mean generation rates across the different districts.Forecasting generation rates could be important for proper planning of operations related to solid waste management.
The document discusses the need for improved solid waste management in India through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Currently, urban local bodies (ULBs) are responsible for waste management but lack resources and capacity. PPPs can bring in private sector efficiencies through financial and managerial autonomy. The Solid Waste Management Rules of 2016 provide a regulatory framework for waste segregation, management responsibilities, and landfill criteria to facilitate effective PPP models. PPPs in waste-to-energy generation through technologies like incineration can help address the waste management challenge while generating energy revenues.
Involvement of informal sector in plastic andSumra Chaudhary
The informal sector plays a key role in plastic and paper recycling in Pakistan. Recycling provides employment opportunities and reduces costs for raw materials. It also reduces dependence on imports and waste disposal burdens. The informal sector engages in recycling for income generation with little investment required. Plastic waste recycling relies on scavengers collecting from dumps. Paper recycling is also growing. The government should formalize and support the informal sector's recycling activities to improve waste management.

Local Governance and Sustainability in Municipal Waste Management in the Mfou...ijtsrd
Increasingly, sustainable waste management has emerged as a major concern both in terms of environmental protection and sustainable management of urban spaces. Over the years, it has been observed that, the volume of waste generated in urban spaces in Cameroon far exceeds the capacity of local councils to manage. Mfoundi council, like the majority councils in Cameroon, has outsourced the collection and disposal of solid waste to the private waste collection company. However, decline in waste collection rates, rising cost associated with solid waste retrieval and disposal continue to exacerbate the challenge local councils experience with regards to urban waste disposal and management. From the foregoing, this study seeks to critically examine the sustainability of the policy, and practices of Municipal Solid Waste Management MSWM systems adopted in the Mfoundi Division. This study adopted a hybrid of qualitative and quantitative approaches using questionnaires, interviews and focused group discussion as main instruments of data collection. The non probability purposive sampling was used due to time and cost constraints The findings of this study revealed that, the council waste management approach does not meet the demands of the population. Poor collection and transportation facilities, insufficient waste collection frequency, low levels of household awareness of good solid waste management practices lack of awareness on waste reuse and recycling are some of the major challenges identified by the study. Thus, people have been left with little or no choice but to dump waste in open spaces, water bodies, drainage channels, deposit along roadsides and streets. The study recommends the following, adopting a community participative approach for efficient waste management, introduction of a waste reuse recycling and reduction plan, intensive sensitization to educate the population on proper waste management practices waste separation via mass campaigns, finally the state should compel brewery and water companies to put in place an avenue to collect the plastic bottles sold to the population.

Increasingly, sustainable waste management has emerged as a major concern both in terms of environmental protection and sustainable management of urban spaces. Over the years, it has been observed that, the volume of waste generated in urban spaces in Cameroon far exceeds the capacity of local councils to manage. Mfoundi council, like the majority councils in Cameroon, has outsourced the collection and disposal of solid waste to the private waste collection company. However, decline in waste collection rates, rising cost associated with solid waste retrieval and disposal continue to exacerbate the challenge local councils experience with regards to urban waste disposal and management. From the foregoing, this study seeks to critically examine the sustainability of the policy, and practices of Municipal Solid Waste Management MSWM systems adopted in the Mfoundi Division. This study adopted a hybrid of qualitative and quantitative approaches using questionnaires, interviews and focused group discussion as main instruments of data collection. The non probability purposive sampling was used due to time and cost constraints The findings of this study revealed that, the council waste management approach does not meet the demands of the population. Poor collection and transportation facilities, insufficient waste collection frequency, low levels of household awareness of good solid waste management practices lack of awareness on waste reuse and recycling are some of the major challenges identified by the study. Thus, people have been left with little or no choice but to dump waste in open spaces, water bodies, drainage channels, deposit along roadsides and streets. The study recommends the following, adopting a community participative approach for efficient waste management, introduction of a waste reuse recycling and reduction plan, intensive sensitization to educate the population on proper waste management practices waste separation via mass campaigns, finally the state should compel brewery and water companies to put in place an avenue to collect the plastic bottles sold to the population.

The document discusses sustainable solid waste management and its effects on economic growth in Enugu State, Nigeria. It finds that the current waste management system lacks recycling, reuse, and waste reduction programs. A proposed new system would incorporate these elements and educate the public to successfully implement source separation, recycling, and bans on certain plastics. The benefits of recycling to the economy through reduced costs, energy and resource conservation, and job creation are also reviewed.
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STATUS IN PATNA - Weaknesses and OpportunitiesAshok Ghosh
Municipal waste management at Patna is in pathetic state.The state capital of Bihar is also famous now as municipal waste capital of India.The presentation is an attempt to highlight the issues and possible solution.
The document summarizes the solid waste management situation in Metro Manila, Philippines. It discusses that Metro Manila generates a disproportionate amount of the country's waste despite having only 13% of the population. Most waste is disposed of through open dumping and only 34% is recycled or composted. This improper waste disposal leads to numerous environmental and public health issues including toxic landfill leachate, dengue outbreaks, and floods or landslides from clogged drainage. The document proposes solutions like mobilizing the private sector to use biodegradable packaging, educating communities on proper waste handling, and holding local governments accountable for waste management plans.

This document summarizes a study on municipal solid waste management in Nairobi, Kenya. It finds that Nairobi generates over 4,000 tonnes of solid waste daily but the collection rate is only 33%, leaving most waste uncollected. Community-based organizations have the lowest costs for waste collection and management. The roles and coordination of government, private companies, community groups, and other actors in waste management is unclear. Effective waste management in Nairobi is challenging due to low collection rates, a single overloaded dumpsite, and lack of infrastructure and regulation.
This document discusses waste management techniques used in several countries. It defines different types of waste and provides details on waste segregation methods. The key waste management approaches described include reducing, reusing, and recycling waste. Specific techniques covered are composting, anaerobic digestion, incineration, and landfilling. The document outlines the types of bins used for segregation in India, Germany, Singapore, China, and South Africa and notes some of their waste disposal and recycling programs and policies.
Dublin City Council has drafted a Litter Management Plan for 2016-2018 to reduce litter and keep Dublin clean. The plan reviews the previous 2008-2011 plan and sets objectives in the key areas of resources, partnership, and enforcement. It aims to improve cleanliness in Dublin over the next three years through an integrated approach using the city's resources, partnerships with citizens, and litter enforcement.
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Multi Stream Segregation...Carolina Lewis
The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of single-stream and multi-stream waste separation and collection systems. Single-stream allows all recyclables to be placed in the same bin, while multi-stream requires separating materials into different bins. Some advantages of single-stream are increased participation and collection rates, while disadvantages include reduced quality of recycled materials and higher processing costs. Multi-stream has higher collection costs but produces higher quality materials by separating at the source.

This document is WorldLoop's 2012 annual report. It summarizes WorldLoop's mission to eliminate the negative environmental impact of e-waste in developing countries by establishing e-waste recycling facilities. In 2012, WorldLoop launched projects in Tanzania and Rwanda, in addition to continuing operations at its facility in Nairobi, Kenya which recycled nearly 150 tons of e-waste. WorldLoop also increased awareness of e-waste issues and engaged new partners and sponsors to further its work addressing this problem in Africa and beyond.
The document discusses garbage issues in Nepal and proposes a project called Clear Waters Nepal (CWN) to address it. CWN would be a private initiative to better manage garbage emissions and develop a structured recycling industry in Nepal on a long-term basis. It focuses on the Khumbu Valley as a test area due to its geography, culture, and tourism. CWN would work by monetizing garbage collection, attracting endorsements, and implementing scientific solutions tailored to the local context.
Can there be a city with no landfill? Indeed this is a dream to come true. This presentation provides a tool box of strategies that we could consider to move towards this aspiration. There are not many options left - landfills one day will have to be built on the Moon!!

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Garbage is one of the greatest challenges facing urban authorities today
with the amount of waste generated exceeding their capacity both
technical and financial to collect and dispose of (UNHSP, 2010).
Kampala Capital City Authority acknowledges that the amount of
garbage overwhelms its capacity to collect and dispose given its
enormous collection costs. Out of 1,200–1,500 tons of garbage generated
per day, only 400-500 tones are recollected giving a collection efficiency
of only 40%. This implies that 60% of garbage generated daily is not
properly collected and disposed which has resulted into indiscriminate
disposal by the public (OAG, 2010).
12/4/2015Prepared by Ruth Ekirapa Byoona
3. AREAS OF INTEREST
1. Proper collection and disposal of garbage which is necessary for avoiding
environmental pollution problems such as pollution of surface water bodies
and of the ambient atmosphere, through burning or decomposition. In Kenya,
an increasing amount of plastic materials has been observed among garbage.
This is a problem, as plastics block the drainage systems leading to frequent
flooding in urban areas.
2. On the outskirts of Kampala, large volumes of wastes are dumped at Lweza
and Lubigi, which were originally wetlands, and Uganda’s only recognized
landfill, at Mpererwe, is actually managed as a dumpsite rather than as a
designated sanitary landfill (Ngategize and Moyoni, 2001).
3. The garbage provides a business opportunity through the provision of
collection, recycling and disposal services while ensuring a clean and healthy
environment.
12/4/2015Prepared by Ruth Ekirapa Byoona
4. OBSTACLES
1. Unconventional methods of disposal which include pits
within the backyards where it is regularly burnt, dumping
by road sides and water drainage channels which leads to
blocking of drainage channels.
2. Many informal settlements are not easily reached by both
division and private collectors due to poor road net work.
3. Land lords have not put up structures without solid waste
management disposal sites due to limited land. This has
therefore led to several unofficial dumping sites.
4. Another problem in waste management is the absence of
the culture of sorting waste, by type at generation points
in this case households, commercial centres and
institutions. 12/4/2015Prepared by Ruth Ekirapa Byoona
5. SOLUTIONS
12/4/2015Prepared by Ruth Ekirapa Byoona
• The garbage can be managed through a Public
Private Partnership which would necessitate
licensing by the Kampala Capital City
Authority.
• The project would involve sensitization
campaigns, sorting at source and disposal
site, processing of products through recycling
and preparation of manure, awarding of
sorting pay awards and charging for onsite
waste management education.
6. FINANCING MECHANISMS
The project would be financed through:
• Community Saving Scheme
• Community contribution of user fees
• Selling of products such as recyclable
materials and manure
• Bidding for tenders such as waste
collection and beautification
12/4/2015Prepared by Ruth Ekirapa Byoona
8. CONCLUSION
• It should be noted that garbage could be useful if well
managed. It can be recycled, used to make electricity,
fertilizers among others. I desire to take this concept to
another level that sees and makes garbage a resource and
not a menace to society. As stated by John .F. Kennedy in
his speech “ Ask not what your country can do for you,
ask what you can do for your country”.
