Tex2Mat: Recycling of industrial PA textiles to fibres and injection moulded parts
© Lehrstuhl fĂĽr Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
The project Tex2Mat is a cooperation of several manufacturing companies and uni-versities. In the course of the project two waste streams from textile companies were analysed, one was textiles made from a mixture of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and cotton and the second one was a mixture of polyamides (PA). In this subproject regarding the PA the following members were selected in a way that all processing steps were represented along the complete value chain. The main objective the project was to analyse the whole value chain from the loom to collecting the waste, the recycling process and the production of the original product or other technical demanding products.

The new Waste Framework Directive and its impact on textile waste

In the course of implementing the circular economy package of the European Union, the Waste Framework Directive was amended recently. Textiles are no longer the poor relation of waste management but have come to the fore.

VKU Opinion on the Study Bio Intelligence Service to the European Commission (GD ENV) on Implementing EU Waste Legislation for Green Growth
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (10/2012)
Environmental legislation is mostly established as a Framework at European Level. It thus defines the conditions for the activities of Member States as well as local waste Management utilities. VKU welcomes the fact that the authors of the study "Implementing EU Waste Legislation for Green Growth"¹ acknowledge the important role of local and regional public entities for the implementation of the EU waste legislation.

Evolution of a collection scheme in 15 years: quality and efficiency in the North Italian experience
© Wasteconsult International (6/2010)
When considering organic waste collection, quality is always a critical aspect. This work summarizes the experience of the Northern Italian waste management public consortium TV3 (Treviso Tre), which has been running residential source separation schemes of organic waste since the mid 1990s. Today the mature separate collection scheme shows contamination rates of less than 2% in the collected feedstock.

As conclusion, with the project “Operação Restauração 5 Estrelas” it’s possible to send for composting the organicwaste produced by the restaurants, canteens and hotels assuring a high level of quality for the source separated material.

SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE MSW COLLECTION IN LOUGA CITY, SENEGAL
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
This paper presents the results of a study conducted by CeTAmb, with the collaboration of two Italian NGOs (CESVI and CISV) and the local Municipality, in order to identify actions that could be adopted to improve the current MSW management in Louga. Louga (Figure 1) is a city placed in the northern part of Senegal, 200 km far from Dakar. Its territory spreads on a wide sandy plain whose altitude varies between 30 and 40 m above sea level. The region is characterised by a sahelian climate with a raining season (annual precipitation rate is about 300 mm/y) between July and September and a dry season from October to June.

COMPARISON OF TOTAL WASTE FLOW FROM HOUSEHOLDS IN 35 SWEDISH MUNICIPALITIES
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Since the Ordinance on Producer Responsibility for Packaging Materials was introduced in Sweden (SFS, 1993; SFS, 1994a; SFS, 1994b), the recycling efforts concerning household waste have been extended and intensified. A large number of different waste sorting programs have been developed locally. The responsibility for collection and recycling is divided between local authorities and producers, which has led to a shattered picture of the waste management strategies, and a rather complex task of evaluating the overall results.

CONCEPTUAL MODELS TO OPTIMIZE THE HAUL, TRANSFER AND DISPOSAL OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Linear and integer programming can be a useful decision support tool when optimizing solid waste management systems. Optimizing the haul, transfer and final disposal of MSW through linear programming has been a typical optimization problem since the ‘70s, when emphasis was given to finding the optimum collection routes (Truitt et al., 1969) as well as to determining facility locations and capacities (Esmaili, 1972; Kirka 1988; Or and Curi, 1993).

© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Santander is one of the most important tourist cities of northern Spain, with an estimated population of 185.000 inhabitants. As a modern European city, Santander performs municipal solid waste management satisfactorily, and has implemented a separate waste collection system since 2003. Currently it has an average production of municipal solid waste of 1.14 kilograms per inhabitant per day, with a recycling rate of 39.9, 22.7 and 30.0 per cent of paper and cardboard, packaging, and glass respectively.
