Towards a Nordic textile strategy
This report is the primary outcome from Part I of the project “Towards a Nordic textile strategy - Collection, sorting, reuse and recycling of textiles” initiated by the Nordic Waste Group (NAG). The report for Part 2 will be published in December 2014. This report summarizes the work carried out in 2013. The three subreports will be the basis for the work to be performed in 2014. The reports for 2013 are: • International market survey of textile flows in the Nordic region and the market for collection, sorting, preparing for reuse, reselling and waste management of textiles. • Collection and sorting systems A total of 19 collection systems are compared for collection flows, contamination levels, cost, suitability of collected textile and availability for the consumer. Four sorting systems are described. • Technology review of sorting and recycling of textiles that describes available and future technology. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers’ overall green growth initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth.” Read more in the web magazine “Green Growth the Nordic Way” at www.norden.org/greengrowth.
Waste
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
Kuningas Auto
Perheen henkilöauto oli sodanjälkeisinä vuosikymmeninä nykyaikaistumisen ja elintason merkki. Autokuumeen kiihkein kausi osui Urho Kekkosen presidenttikauteen (1956–1981). Autosta tuli arkea ja elämäntapaa määritellyt hyödyke, mutta vapauden varjopuoli olivat liikennekuolemat ja ympäristöongelmat. Yhteiskunta mobilisoitui auton ympärille tavalla, joka on syvällä ajattelussamme ja yhdyskuntarakenteessa. Autoistuminen alkoi vaatia tiukempaa yhteiskunnallista ohjailua, jolloin henkilöauto politisoitui. Ajonopeus, turvavyön käyttäminen tai ”parin” ottaminen ennen tien päälle lähtöä eivät olleet enää omakohtaisia asioita. Autoiluun oli totuttu yksityisenä arkirutiinina, johon puuttuminen rajoittavilla järjestelmäsäännöillä koettiin herkästi yksilönvapauden loukkaamiseksi. Tutkimus osoittaa, kuinka talous, politiikka ja kulttuuri niveltyivät autossa toisiinsa. Teos tarkastelee autoistumista inhimillisenä ja yleismaailmallisena ilmiönä sekä toimii johdantona autoistumisen historian uusimman kansainvälisen tutkimuksen kysymyksenasetteluihin.
Recent Trends in Data Science and Soft Computing
This book presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference of Reliable Information and Communication Technology 2018 (IRICT 2018), which was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 23–24, 2018. The main theme of the conference was “Data Science, AI and IoT Trends for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.” A total of 158 papers were submitted to the conference, of which 103 were accepted and considered for publication in this book. Several hot research topics are covered, including Advances in Data Science and Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, Business Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies and Applications, Intelligent Communication Systems, Advances in Computer Vision, Health Informatics, Reliable Cloud Computing Environments, Recent Trends in Knowledge Management, Security Issues in the Cyber World, and Advances in Information Systems Research, Theories and Methods.
The Metrics of Material and Metal Ecology
This book is a must for individuals and companies that have an interest in developing sustainable technology and systems in the complex 'Web of Metals' on a first principles, technological and economic basis, with a focus to the minerals, metals and product manufacturing industries. In this inter-, intra- and trans-disciplinary book the material/metal cycle will be central, addressing technology as the basis for achieving sustainability within the system of primary mineral and metal producing, and the consumer product material cycles, linked to nature's cycles. The following major topics (not exclusive) are discussed in a detail, which will satisfy company CEO's and students of environment, ...
City Logistics
This book presents fundamental concepts and general approaches to City Logistics. City Logistics is the process of totally optimising urban logistics activities by considering the social, environmental, economic, financial and energy impacts of urban freight movement. City Logistics initiatives are required to solve urban freight transport problems including high levels of traffic congestion, negative environmental impacts, high energy consumption and a shortage of labour. The focus of this work is on modelling City Logistics. Modelling is of crucial importance, since estimates of the impacts generated by City Logistics measures are required for evaluating them. It highlights the formulation...
Management, Recycling and Reuse of Waste Composites
This authoritative reference work provides a comprehensive review of the management, recycling and reuse of waste composites. These are issues which are of increasing importance due to the growing use of composites in many industries, increasingly strict legislation and concerns about disposal of composites by landfill or incineration.Part one discusses the management of waste composites and includes an introduction to composites recycling and a chapter on EU legislation for recycling waste composites. Part two reviews thermal technologies for recycling waste composites with chapters on pyrolysis, catalytic transformation, thermal treatments for energy recovery and fluidized bed pyrolysis. P...
Perspectives on Social LCA
This book gives a selection of contributions from the 6th Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) Conference in Pescara, Italy. S-LCA is a social (real and potential) impact assessment method that aims to drive improvements in order to increase the value of products and services. It helps organizations to plan better, implement more effectively, and promote scale initiatives. More in general, the assessment activity also facilitates accountability and supports stakeholder communication. Consumers are greatly aware of the provenance of the goods they purchase. They have greater access to product information than ever before, also thanks to the new digital platforms. They are also empowered to ma...
Combustion and Incineration Processes
Covering each aspect of an incineration facility, from contaminant receipt and storage to stack discharge and dispersion, this reference explores the operation and evaluation of incineration systems for hazardous and non-hazardous gaseous, liquid, sludge, and solid wastes. Highlighting breakthroughs in air pollution control, the book discusses advances in materials handling, waste processing, refractory and materials engineering, combustion technology, and energy recovery to reduce and control toxins and pollutants in the environment. It includes a disk containing spreadsheets for practical analyses of waste characteristics and combustion systems.
Sustainable Fashion
As issues surrounding sustainability in the fashion industry continue to evolve, the conversation in this collection of essays from leading fashion academics and practitioners has been updated with current concepts and industry practices. This work examines the challenges that designers, product developers, and consumers confront as they create, wear, and recycle clothing and fashion. Organized into three sections, each section focuses on an in-depth exploration of sustainable opportunities that are identified as people, process and the environment.
