This document discusses Sweden's leadership in sustainable waste management. Some key points:
- Sweden has highly developed waste-to-energy infrastructure, with only 1% of household waste ending up in landfills. Municipalities own waste incinerators and landfills.
- Extensive legislation and municipal responsibility since the 1970s have led to district heating from waste and 20% of heating/quarter million homes' electricity from waste.
- Sweden imports waste from other countries for processing. Examples of reuse, recycling, and waste-to-energy are given from cities like Malmo.
- The national strategy emphasizes reducing waste, composting food waste, and increasing recycling rates. Municipalities control waste
Planning waste management and recycling for all waste generated by an organisation can be a daunting and enormous task which will require logistical planning, knowledge of legislation and a more in-depth understanding in order to balance environmental and economic benefits.
This task quite often will fall with the energy manager for the organisation, if there is no sustainability person or team. The session gives a brief introduction on principles of waste management and relevant legal issues and gives practical guidance on how to set up waste management and recycling for your organisation.
Strategic Solid Waste Management Plan for Municipalities: Chautara Municipality Saroj Upadhyay
SSWMP is a blueprint for reducing and
managing solid waste, and establishing a broad
policy framework for solid waste management
over short, medium & long-term planning
periods. The plan considers all aspects of waste
management and identifies current successes
as well as areas for improvement and growth.
The Strategic plan in this study is guided by the
principles of ISWM and was drafted via
situation analysis, participatory approach,
intense literature review, stakeholder analysis, field research and
expert inputs.
World Bank estimated, in 2025 the production of municipal solid waste will be 2.2 billion tones worldwide. With this amount, we are more and more polluting our own environment. Seven to eight percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions arise from continued landfilling. EfW (WtE) does not only decrease the volume of waste, it also protects natural resources like land and water. There is no additional need for landfills, where leakage can occur and pollute our tap water. It also protects air and climate because the regulations by law for EfW are more stringent than for coal fired power plants or any other industry. EfW plants decrease the greenhouse gases which come from landfill.
Environmental Education for Sustainable Development - DENR-EMB-VIIRehne Gibb Larena
Rachelle Ybañez of DENR EMB 7 discussed the agency’s efforts for Environmental Education for Sustainable Development which is outlined in RA 9512. RA 9512, the Environmental Education and Awareness Act is intended to impose the value of conservation, protection, and the rehabilitation of natural resources to the general public. The goal is to develop sustainable communities in schools, cities, and companies and provide education to both the formal and informal sectors. An important aspect of the program is to integrate climate change in LGU’s CLUPs and other plans with the involvement of the academe and the private sector.

Telling the Norwegian CCS Story | PART I: CCS: the path to sustainable and em...Global CCS Institute
In 2018, the Norwegian government announced its decision to continue the planning of a demonstration project for CO2 capture, transport and storage. This webinar focuses on the Fortum Oslo Varme CCS project. This is one of the two industrial CO2 sources in the Norwegian full-scale project.
At their waste-to-energy plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Fortum Oslo Varme produces electricity and district heating for the Oslo region by incinerating waste. Its waste-to-energy plant is one of the largest land-based sources of CO2 emissions in Norway, counting for about 20 % of the city of Oslo’s total emissions. The CCS project in Oslo is an important step towards a sustainable waste system and the creation of a circular economy. It will be the first energy recovery installation for waste disposal treatment with full-scale CCS.
Fortum Oslo Varme has understood the enormous potential for the development of a CCS industry in the waste-to-energy industry. The company is working to capture 90 % of its CO2 emissions, the equivalent of 400 000 tons of CO2 per year. This project will open new opportunities to reduce emissions from the waste sector in Norway and globally. Carbon capture from waste incineration can remove over 90 million tons of CO2 per year from existing plants in Europe. There is high global transfer value and high interest in the industry for the project in Oslo.
The waste treated consists of almost 60 % biological carbon. Carbon capture at waste-to-energy plants will therefore be so-called BIO-CCS (i.e. CCS from the incineration of organic waste, thereby removing the CO2 from the natural cycle).
Find out more about the project by listening to our webinar.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

management
• Only 1% of all household waste in
Sweden ends up in a rubbish dump
• In 2011 Sweden imports 813,000
tons of waste from Norway
3. • Government-led waste management - in
1904 the first Swedish WTE (waste-to-
energy) plant was built
• Late 1940s – expansion of district heating
systems leads to more WTE plants being
constructed
• 1970s Oil Shocks lead to Swedish
government developing energy strategy
independent of oil – relying on WTE
• 1980s Sweden introduces first renewable,
environmental friendly energy sources –
biofuels, waste

each year
“This is not a long-term solution really, because we need to be
better to reuse and recycle, but in the short perspective I think it’s
quite a good solution,” Ostlund says
Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, and
Lithuania have started
imitating Sweden
