The three volumes from part of the Proceedings of the two-day International Conference organised by the Concrete and Masonry Research Group within the School of Engineering at Kingston University, held in September 2004. The Conference deals with issues such as the regulatory framework, government policy, waste management, processing, recovery, the supply network, recycling opportunities, sustainable ways forward and the economics of sustainability.
The necessity for adopting sustainable practices is becoming increasingly clear, and the recovery of maximum value from surplus glass cullet is a key component in this. The concrete construction industry can provide a number of alternative uses for cullet that can add value to this waste material.This book presents the proceedings of an International Symposium organised by the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee, which brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of glass cullet recycling.
The safe storage in glass-based materials of both radioactiveand non-radioactive hazardous wastes is covered in a single book,making it unique Provides a comprehensive and timely reference source at thiscritical time in waste management, including an extensive andup-to-date bibliography in all areas outlined to waste conversionand related technologies, both radioactive and non-radioactive Brings together all aspects of waste vitrification, drawscomparisons between the different types of wastes and treatments,and outlines where lessons learnt in the radioactive waste fieldcan be of benefit in the treatment of non-radioactive wastes
This title looks at how glass is wasted and what happens when this waste occurs. It also considers how we can all reduce the amount of waste glass we produce, how we can reuse our glass waste, and how and where it can be recycled.
Provides a brief explanation on the benefits of recycling glass.
Discusses th problems caused by the manufacture and disposal of glass products, and proposes methods for recycling them to reduce such threats.
Waste: A Handbook for Management gives the broadest, most complete coverage of waste in our society. The book examines a wide range of waste streams, including: Household waste (compostable material, paper, glass, textiles, household chemicals, plastic, water, and e-waste) Industrial waste (metals, building materials, tires, medical, batteries, hazardous mining, and nuclear) Societal waste (ocean, military, and space) The future of landfills and incinerators Covering all the issues related to waste in one volume helps lead to comparisons, synergistic solutions, and a more informed society. In addition, the book offers the best ways of managing waste problems through recycling, incineration, landfill and other processes. Co-author Daniel Vallero interviewed on NBC's Today show for a segment on recycling Scientific and non-biased overviews will assist scientists, technicians, engineers, and government leaders Covers all main types of waste, including household, industrial, and societal Strong focus on management and recycling provides solutions
Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 2,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin, course: Environmental and Ressource Economics, language: English, abstract: --English version below-- Die vorliegende Seminararbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage inwieweit Recycling als sinnvoll und lohnenswert anzusehen ist. Spezifisch wird das vorhandene System des Glasrecycling in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland auf zuvor präsentierte theoretische und empirische wissenschaftli-che Zusammenstellungen hin verglichen. Dabei wird der technische Prozess des Recycling fast gänzlich außer Acht gelassen. Vielmehr werden Bezahlstrukturen und Anreizmodelle für Haus-halte ...
