Podcasts about solid waste management

The Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 672) is one of Malaysia's key legislative frameworks, and was designed to address the shortcomings of waste management laws across Peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territories, ensuring better coordination, enforcement and sustainability. What are some of the pressing issues Malaysia is facing when it comes to dealing with its waste, and how does this Act close the gaps or address inefficiencies in waste management here? We explore the history of Act 672, the reasons behind its introduction, and its applications here in the country with Khor Sue Yee (Co-founder and Director, Zero Waste Malaysia) and Tasha Sabapathy (Senior Programme and Communications Officer, Zero Waste Malaysia).Image credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NYPD is on high alert as police in Maine look for a mass shooter suspected of killing at least eighteen people in Lewiston, although officials say there is no specific threat to New York City. Also, New York City is scaling up a program to give survivors of domestic violence emergency grants of about 1,200 dollars to meet immediate housing needs. Finally, New York City's Council on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management held a hearing yesterday to address safety and protections for sanitation workers after more than 750 workers were injured within the last year. Council Member Sandy Nurse, the chair of that committee, joins WNYC's Sean Carlson discuss the issue.

A research paper by Politecnico di Milano in the international journal Sustainable Production and Consumption analyses a floating wind farm off the coast of Sicily Offshore wind farms bring environmental benefits throughout their life cycle. This emerges from a study published in the international journal Sustainable Production and Consumption in which researchers from Politecnico di Milano analysed the potential environmental impacts of a floating offshore wind farm undergoing authorisation off the coast of Sicily. What environmental benefits do offshore wind farms bring? "Results show that the environmental impacts of offshore wind farms with floating turbines are mainly associated with the life cycle of the wind turbine and the floating structure, and in particular with steel production", Mario Grosso, professor in Solid Waste Management and Treatment at Politecnico di Milano, explains. "The other phases of the life cycle have much smaller contributions than the procurement phase. The analysis included the phases of procurement of materials, transport of components, assembly and installation with specialised vessels, maintenance during operation, disassembly and end-of-life. "The analysis also included the other components required for building an offshore wind farm, with a particular focus on the electrical system for transmitting the energy produced, in order to assess the contribution of the implementation complexity of offshore installations to the wind farm overall impact", Lucia Rigamonti, professor in Methodologies for Life Cycle Thinking, explains. Results show that comparing 1 GWh of energy taken from the national grid with 1 GWh of energy produced by the wind farm, the overall impacts of wind power are significantly reduced for almost all impact categories analysed: in the 'climate change' category, the benefit is a 92% reduction in impacts, and worsening is only observed in the 'abiotic depletion' category (+95%). Furthermore, this technology would allow to avoid generating energy from fossil fuels, and therefore, as the results show, related investments would be quickly repaid in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and energy, in 2 and 3 years, respectively. "Overall, the results of the analysis provide a rough indication that helps make us aware of the environmental loadings of a renewable electricity generation system and to compare it with other energy sources", Gaia Brussa, researcher at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Politecnico, explains. "However, it must be kept in mind that this is currently a preliminary estimate based on the design choices presented for the scoping phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment. Scientific literature is still insufficient when it comes to life cycle analysis (LCA) of offshore wind farms with large turbines (over 15 MW) installed on floating structures reflecting recent industry developments and current market trends. However, in order to assess their true environmental sustainability, it is important to analyse renewable electricity generation technologies from a life-cycle perspective. Politecnico di Milano is a scientific-technological university which trains engineers, architects and industrial designers. The University has always focused on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer. Research has always been linked to didactics and it is a priority commitment which has allowed Politecnico Milano to achieve high quality results at an international level as to join the university to the business world. Research constitutes a parallel path to that formed by cooperation and alliances with the industrial system.

The book  Is a The girls' guide to giving the cosmetics industry a makeover.Lead in lipstick? 1,4 dioxane in baby soap? Coal tar in shampoo? How is this possible?Simple. The $35 billion cosmetics industry is so powerful that they've kept themselves unregulated for decades. Not one cosmetic product has to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market. Incredible? Consider this: The European Union has banned more than 1,100 chemicals from cosmetics. The United States has banned just 10.Only 11% of chemicals used in cosmetics in the US have been assessed for health and safety – leaving a staggering 89% with unknown or undisclosed effects.More than 70% of all personal care products may contain phthalates, which are linked to birth defects and infertility.Many baby soaps are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical 1,4 dioxane. It's not just women who are affected by this chemists' brew. Shampoo, deodorant, face lotion and other products used daily by men, women and children contain hazardous chemicals that the industry claims are "within acceptable limits." But there's nothing acceptable about daily multiple exposures to carcinogenic chemicals-from products that are supposed to make us feel healthy and beautiful. Not Just a Pretty Face delves deeply into the dark side of the beauty industry and looks to hopeful solutions for a healthier future. This scathing investigation peels away less-than-lovely layers to expose an industry in dire need of an extreme makeover.Stacy Malkan is also a co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of health groups that exposed hazardous chemicals in nail polish, baby products, make-up and hair products and pressured companies to reformulate to safer products. Her work has been published in Time magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, Nature Biotechnology and many other outlets.

Recycling and Energy, Million Can Prodigy. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Genshu Price. At the ripe age of 14, Genshu Price launched a recycling revolution. He's generating funds to pay tuition for kids older than himself. He's branching into other fields of giving. The sky's the limit.If you have doubts about the HI-5 bottle deposit program, consider this: On O'ahu, before HI-5 went into effect in January 2005, the landfill diversion rate was 41 percent, according to the state Department of Health's Office on Solid Waste Management. In other words, about three-fifths of all of O'ahu's municipal solid waste went to the Waimanalo Gulch landfill.Since then, more than 4.2 billion beverage containers have been recycled through the program, the waste office says, which helped increase the overall diversion rate to 72 percent. It's not just HI-5, of course. The diversion rate includes many other recycled materials, plus waste sent to H-Power, the incinerator that turns trash into electricity and generates about 6 to 8 percent of O'ahu's power.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6nMw4RxJwoYzhZyXl8mz7hpPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.

Malaysians are still wasting plenty of food, despite having to fork out more money for meals nowadays. According to the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp), in 2021, Malaysians generated 17,007 tonnes of food waste per day in 2021 – enough to fill one-and-a-half Olympic-sized swimming pools. Sean Tan, CEO of Insect Feed Technologies discovered how to utilise technology to rear and breed the black soldier fly to be incorporated in upcycling food waste. Through an in-house proprietary treatment, the team then translates black soldier fly larvae into a sustainable and healthier alternative for animal feed, and replaces chemical fertilisers for plants.

Nature has interesting ways of bringing us back to our roots by first sending us away!! So was the case with our guest today Mr. P.Natarajan. Having lived abroad for higher education and work, returning home made him see the damage around him with fresh eyes and a heavy heart but with a determination to address the problem. What we admire when we go abroad are the clean streets and rules and regulations. So that is what hits us when we return home, the need to follow rules and regulations. Solid waste is a huge problem in a city like Chennai that is growing at a rate not proportional to civic amenities. What is missing is the understanding of our participation in preserving the environment. Problems like these send us back to those law-abiding foreign lands or give us the grit to face them head-on. It takes courage to be different and stand out. When Chennai had not woken up to the alarming garbage conundrum (2014-2015), Natarajan was deeply affected by the impending damage it would cause and start Namma Ooru Foundation along with a few more passionate souls. After 7 years of operations, of Namma Ooru foundation the accomplishment was transforming more than 3500 households in Chennai and diverting 5 tons of mixed waste from landfills every day, but that represents just a grain of sand in the 5000 tons of mixed waste that Chennai generates every day. Natarajan realized that being a part-timer and handling this mammoth task is not going to work, He gave up his IT job and founded PUVI Earth Care Solutions a social enterprise with a 100% focus to provide sustainable environmental solutions, and came in full-time to tackle Climate Change. Natarajan sports 7 years of hands-on experience in the field of Environment, predominantly in Solid Waste Management, and 20 years of experience in IT industry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-third-eye1/message

In this episode, we will explore power relations in fieldwork, controversial methods of meeting the individuals you need to interview, and what is at stake when we talk about democratization in Tunisia.In December 2020, researchers Lana and Zied visited three different municipalities around Tunisia, to understand the problems local administrations encounter when managing solid waste. They will be speaking about how they managed to navigate challenges and adapt to ensuing fieldwork situations. Lana Salman is a Lebanese researcher in Urban Governance and International Development. Zied Boussen is a senior researcher at the Arab Reform Initiative in Tunisia.The report, Environmentalism After Decentralization: The Local Politics of Solid Waste Management in Tunisia, is available here

Today I bring to you my conversation with Kamal Raj - Director of Impact Projects at rePurpose Global. rePurpose Global is the World's First Plastic Credit Platform dedicated to making planetary action simple for purposeful people and companies of any size, anywhere. Their one-stop solution empowers anybody to go Plastic Neutral by financing innovators on the frontlines who are relentlessly fighting for our planet's future. You'll be fascinated to know that majority of plastic waste especially multi-layered plastic (MLP) — including chips packets, chocolate wrappers, and more — never makes it to recycling. Instead, all that waste ends up in landfill remaining there for centuries. The sad truth is, the infrastructure needed to tackle this problem is underfunded, and requires an urgent push. That's where rePurpose Global is breaking barriers, and channelling resources towards important innovations. Our guest Kamal Raj is no less than an avenger when it comes to implementing solutions around plastic waste problems. After completing his degree in biotechnology, he got exposed to the world of waste management through his work with Daily Dump and soon figured out synergies to leverage his knowledge of biotechnology to find solutions around plastic waste. He then moved on to lead the Solid Waste Management program as part of Infosys's Green Initiatives team and is recognized for achieving self-reliance in SWM at Infosys, where annually 10 million kilograms of MSW is managed through 24 automated technologies. After his decade long stint with providing solutions for waste management in India, today he continues to create that impact on a global level by leading projects at repurpose global.

Much like other social, environmental, and economic issues, the programs and policies set to completely manage waste generation and collection lack funding and thorough implementation. There is also a growing mentality where people believe that controlled dumpsites are necessary but just not in their neighborhood. There is an informal waste ecosystem that could augment our efforts in waste collection. It has been there even before R.A. 9003 or the Solid Waste Management was put into law. But what can we do to make it both systematic and economically beneficial for the players involved? Spotify: Sustainarumble Instagram: @sustainarumble Community: The Pit by SUSTAINARUMBLE!
