Boundary Conditions for the Use of Tunnel Excavation Material
© Lehrstuhl fĂĽr Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2012)
Currently, a large number of tunnel projects are being designed or built in Austria. This will create large quantities of excavation material, which so far have been generally used for filling or tipping.

DeconRCM: A decision support system tool for renovation and demolition waste management
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The absence of a certified network for the collection and processing of the materials contained in generated Renovation and Demolition (R&D) waste is a main shortcoming of R&D waste management in Greece. Until recently, less than 5% of all R&D waste generated in Greece was reused or recycled, while the rest was landfilled or disposed in uncontrolled, open dumps. In order to increase the community’s awareness in environmental issues a research team has been formed and qualified for the funding of the project “Information System for Demolition Waste Management” (DEWAM project).

ResourceManager: A material flow model for recycling and waste management

Since the ban on placing untreated waste in landfill sites (Technical Instructions on Municipal Waste) came into force in June 2005, the increasing number of material waste streams in need of coordination has led to increased complexity of the recycling and disposal structures in the waste management and recycling industry, whereby the issues of material and energy efficiency are gaining importance.

Waste reduction methods for shipyards: dry ice blasting
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
Shipbuilding industry is listed as heavy industry due to the use of raw materials and production processes, which are mostly effective on human health and environment as contaminant. Various types of solid, liquid and gaseous form of wastes are known as the outcome of shipbuilding and ship repair processes. These contaminants may affect water, air and soil unless preventive actions are considered. The effect of these contaminants on workers health is as important as environmental effect.

Shipbuilding industry is known as one of the hardest metal industry with several chemicals and hazardous material. Most of the production processes such as welding, painting, blasting and fiberglass production have direct impact on workers health. There are several wastes and pollutants being released during shipbuilding and ship repairing processes.

Quantification of waste avoidance
© Universität Stuttgart - ISWA (11/2008)
Waste is an issue in every country of the world. Wastes are generated by activities in all economic sectors and are generally regarded as an unavoidable by-product of economical activities. Rapid growth of population and industrialization degrades the urban environment and possesses serious stress on natural resources. This in turn undermines equitable and sustainable development. Inefficient management and disposal of solid waste is an obvious cause of degradation of the environment in most cities of the developed and developing world.
