“…Waste management is an issue that affects the entire world, in view of the high cost of handling, treatment and disposal of waste. Some government agencies are seeking to implement preventive policies in an attempt to reduce the generation of waste while encouraging recycling and reuse (Campos, 2014;Triguero et al, 2016). This will result in less waste and consequently in cost savings by managing and reducing the number of landfills, since this is the cheapest and most common means of waste disposal (Lorenzett et al, 2012).…”

In order to minimize environmental impact zeolite A was synthesized using waste from the paper industry. This waste is composed of cellulose, kaolin and calcium carbonate. Waste purification was carried through thermal and chemical treatment, which consisted of initial calcination, acid washing with HCl, then calcination of the solid fraction to obtain metakaolin and evaporation of the liquid fraction to obtain CaCl2. Zeolite 4A was produced by static autoclaving under hydrothermal synthesis at different temperatures, crystallization times and NaOH concentrations. As a source of aluminum and silicon metakaolin was used. The synthesis of zeolite 5A was performed by ion exchange with CaCl2. After that, the waste paper (in natura and HCl treatment) and the zeolites 4A and 5A were characterized by XDR, SEM, FTIR, AAS and thermal analysis. The temperature is a key factor in zeolite synthesis at lower concentrations allowing one to obtain zeolite 5A by ion exchange with zeolite 4A.

“…Higher educational level leads to increased recycling potential and based on the study of Triguero et al (2016). Income as a booster for the likelihood of recycling arises from the study of Czajkowski et al (2017), while Fiorillo (2013) and Jafari et al (2015) found that both higher income and educational levels tend to positively influence the likelihood of recycling.…”

“…As already mentioned above, the selection of socio-demographic data as interpretive variables of both behaviour and intention to recycle are based on previous researches, which conclude that social-demographic data are statistically significant interpretative factors (Seacat & Northup, 2010;Saphores et al, 2012;Fiorillo, 2013;Pakpour et al, 2014;Babaei et al, 2015;Crociata et al, 2015;Martinho et al, 2015;Triguero et al, 2016;Czajkowski et al, 2017;Echegaray & Hansstein, 2017;Lizin et al, 2017;Oztekin et al, 2017;Sidique et al, 2010;Saphores et al, 2012;Yau, 2012;Miafodzyeva & Brandt, 2013;Pakpour et al, 2014;Akil et al, 2015;Alpizar & Gsottbauer, 2015;Babaei et al, 2015;Martinho et al, 2015;Arbués & Villanúa, 2016;Choon et al, 2016;Noor, 2016;Zen et al, 2014;Babaei et al, 2015;Jafari et al, 2015;Martinho et al, 2015;Choon et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016;Fielding et al, 2016). Accordingly, the selection of attitudes as an interpretive variable is based on a previous references that finds that it has a statistically significant effect on behavior and intent to recycle (Chen & Tung, 2010;Sidique et al, 2010;Best & Kneip, 2011;Bezzina & Dimech, 2011;Pakpour et al, 2014;Park & Ha, 2014;Wan et al, 2014a;…”

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the determinant factors of recycling and in particular of paper recycling. The research focuses on paper recycling behavior on the part of the elderly in the Region of Attica. Primary research was based on the use of layered data. The survey data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to senior citizens in the municipalities of Egaleo and Chaidari. The questionnaire was distributed by hand in the region’s O.C.C. (Open Care Centers) for the Elderly Staff Members during the period from November 2017 until February 2018 (11/2017-02/2018). The final sample of the survey amounted to 375 participants. Multiple logistic regressions generate useful conclusions, such as whether participants recycle paper or not appear to be linked to the educational level of the elderly. In addition, through the logistic regressions, it appears that intention to recycle affects significantly the behaviour towards, recycling, and the perceived behavioural control as well. Furthermore, including social and demographic data, it appears that the educational level, monthly family income and residential status are factors that affect whether the participants are recycling paper or not.

The main objective of this study is to present the instruments related to solid waste in Brazil, specifically in the city of Belo Horizonte, as well as to characterize the aspects of waste management abroad. In addition to websites of different governments, scientific databases were consulted, among them are: SciELO, Science Direct and Web of Science. Although having a major regulatory framework on the management of solid waste, and that the Law 12.305 of August 2010, Brazil is lagging when it comes to the application of what is regulated. In 2015, it was decided to extend the deadline for municipalities to close their dumpsters and then use landfills, which was not fulfilled. Thus, it was decided to extend the deadline, share that view by different scholars as an error. During this study, it was observed that among the major flaws in the Brazilian management model, is meeting deadlines established by law, which differs from the model adopted in Europe, after the deadline, fines are levied on the waste generator that does not comply with the provisions. Unfortunately, in Brazil, solid waste management by the government is still seen in the wrong way, for something interesting to remember is that with a good waste management, spending vector control (and therefore healthy) will be considerably reduced.
