Waste Management in India and Experience with the Implementation of Projects Based on Public Private Partnership Model
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Decades of improper Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management has resulted in the creation of huge dumpsites in cities. These dumpsites are causing considerable environmental pollution and are full to capacity in most cities. Land for new disposal sites is not easily available due to increasing urbanization and population pressure. In many cases there is considerable protest from surrounding villages for setting up of a new MSW disposal site.

Current Developments in European Waste-to-Energy
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
In December 2015, one year after withdrawing the first Circular Economy package, the Juncker Commission published a broader and more ambitious proposal with revised targets and harmonized calculation methods for recycling. In parallel, the European Commission is still working on the Energy Union, a strategy that is the core of the institution’s work in which Waste-to-Energy will play a role. Finally, the Commission will publish a communication focused on Waste-to-Energy aiming to explore the opportunities offered by Waste-to-Energy, particularly with regard to synergies between resource and energy efficiencies by the end of 2016.

To estimate the stocks of materials in industrial buildings depending on type, size, usage and age of the buildings as a first step a case study of a production site in Weinheim (Baden-WĂĽrttemberg) has been carried out. Additionally to the characterization of the buildings and the material stocks, the demolition procedure and possible recycling strategies have been investigated.

How to Operate as Technology Provider and Contractor in the International EfW World
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (10/2012)
The classic main markets in Europe for EfW plants have come close to a point of saturation. Legislation and many efforts spent over the past years to introduce an environmentally friendly disposal of municipal solid waste resulted in a network of plants and capacities of which a major extension may not be expected anymore.

Acceptance and Realisation of Waste-to-Energy Projects - Communications of the Project Management with Politics and Concerned Persons

The real control over the success rate for building new EfW plants is not how well we communicate the technology to hosting communities, but their perception of the risk from that technology.

Development of Waste-to-Energy Projects
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (10/2012)
Waste-to-energy plants contribute substantially to achieve the goal of a reliable, sustainable and efficient disposal of waste. Recovery of energy and valuable material is an additional benefit. Before starting the technical elaboration, the non-technical questions have to be answered. They are strongly dependent on local boundary conditions. For the financial aspects some general hints are given as well as rules of thumbs. The technical evaluation bases on system analysis and comparison of operational, design, energetic and environmental criteria.

Waste Incineration in the 21st Century - Energy-Efficient and Climate-Friendly Recycling Plant and Pollutant Sink

The first waste incineeration plants in Europe were built in the middle of the 19th century. Hygiene played an important role, because plagues had again and again hit many countries, cost numerous lives.

Implementation of a Recovery System with Optimized Interfaces - The Total Plastic Concept

The German system for recovery of mixed dry recyclables has been established in the early 90s. It was installed to increase the recycling rates additional to the already existing system: the separate collection of papaer and glass.

Recovery of Recyclables from Municipal Solid Waste - Experiences from Poland and Cyprus
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (10/2012)
A high amount of recyclable materials is still landfilled in many European countries. Against this backdrop mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) was previously considered to be purely a residual waste stream, but now it is increasingly being looked at as a valuable source for recyclable fractions.

Plastic Waste Recovery in Spain - Overview of the Market and Applied Technologies
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (10/2012)
Plastic consumption in different Spanish industrial sectors was 2.840.000 tonnes in 2010 and generated approxomately 2.206.000 tonnes of plastic waste in 2010. About 23% of this waste was recycled and 17% recovered, being landfilled about 60% [2].
