“…Available reports and documents about waste management in Palestine, including relevant regulations together with direct experiences of the authors operating in that area were reviewed Cesvi NGO. For the Region of Umbria both lab scale and full scale studies were performed at some of the plants (Di Maria et al, 2016;Di Maria et al, 2015;Di Maria, 2012) as well as on the basis of waste management reports of national authorities (ISPRA, 2016). Field visits and the technical/scientific analysis of facilities and waste management service providers, recycling companies, landfills, relevant facilities and stakeholders were done.…”

A survey and a preliminary comparison were conducted between the waste management systems and schemes implemented in the Region of Umbria (Italy) and the West Bank (Palestine). The Region of Umbria operates in a wider political legal and economic supporting scheme, i.e., the one promoted by EU Directives. The West Bank showed all the typical economic, legal and political features of a developing country. From the economic point of view the incidence of the cost for waste collection and management with respect to the per capita GDP was 0.82% for the Region of Umbria and 1.2% for the West Bank. Although the incidence for the West Bank was higher, it was not enough to support the budget necessary for efficient waste management. A relevant aspect was the practically similar amount of organic waste generated per capita and per year in the two areas. The West Bank lacks infrastructures and adequate collection systems and there are no composting facilities. The number of mechanical sorting facilities was 0.034/10 5 inhabitants. The current recycling rate for the West Bank is about 6%. Some criticism about the sustainability of recycling and composting rates for the Region of Umbria are also highlighted. Some benefits for the West Bank, such as the introduction of home composting, are identified. This will affect both the amount and the costs of waste collected allowing the municipalities to allocate more money for separated collection of recyclables.

“…Inovasi ini sebenarnya menjadi suatu hal yang baru jika dibandingkan dengan sistem pemisah logam di area pemilahan sampah yang telah digunakan berbagai negara selama ini. Karena pada umumnya, sampah logam dipisahkan dari campuran sampah padat kota dengan menggunakan unit pemroses pemisah logam yang secara permanen terpasang di lokasi tertentu dan dengan magnet pemisah elektromagnet yang pada operasinya menggunakan listrik sebagai sumber energi (12,13,14,15) . Sementara pada sistem ini, sistem pemisah logam dibuat secara mobil dan fleksibel sehingga bisa melakukan pemisahan logam pada bagian unit mana saja pada sistem pemrosesan sampah, baik itu dengan proses termal maupun sanitary landfill yang pada umumnya dijadikan opsi pembuangan sampah.…”

In the Waste to Energy (WtE) Pilot Plant system, the garbage feed has high diverse content including various type of metal. A metal separation system plays an important role during waste pretreatment process before the garbage entering the incinerator. This system is aimed to prevent performance degradation of the combustion system and to gain added value of the reuse metals in the waste. The WtE Pilot Plant in Bantargebang, constructed in 2018, is a large project and is expected to contribute significantly in overcoming waste problems in Indonesia. The performance of the WtE pilot plant system increases significantly if supported by a metal separator system integrated to the existing pretreatment system. This paper evaluates new design of metal separation system from the waste inputs. In general, metal separator system was designed as a permanent unit with a stand alone or integrated electromagnetic lifting. In this paper, the metal separator system was designed by using a combination of permanent ferrite and neodymium magnetic cores to create a combined force able to pull scraps mixed in waste at a considerable distance and was easily removed and collected. To optimize the system, a metal separator system was attached to a crane system installed in a double cabin car. Thus, the flexibility of this system was increasingly high. Tests results showed that the metal separator system with a combination of ferrite and neodymium was able to pull metals in the waste from a distance up to 20 cm despite of blocking by non-magnetic wastes, and able to attract almost 100% of the exisiting metals. Key words: WtE, metal separator, ferrite, neodymium, waste, mobile systemABSTRAKPada sistem Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Sampah (PLT Sampah), di mana umpan sampah memiliki keberagaman yang tinggi, termasuk keberadaan logam di dalamnya, sistem pemisahan logam sebagai tahapan pretreatment sampah sebelum masuk ke dalam sistem insinerator akan memegang peranan yang cukup penting. Sistem ini bertujuan untuk mencegah penurunan kinerja sistem pembakaran serta untuk meningkatkan nilai dari penggunaan ulang logam yang tercampur ke dalam sampah. Pembangunan Pilot PLT Sampah di Bantargebang yang dimulai pada tahun 2018 merupakan suatu proyek besar dan diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan dalam mengatasi permasalahan sampah di Indonesia. Kinerja sistem PLT Sampah ini akan lebih baik jika didukung oleh sistem pemisah logam yang dapat diintegrasikan dengan sistem pretreatment yang telah ada. Inovasi sistem ini dirancang untuk melakukan pemilahan terhadap input sampah yang masuk ke dalam sistem PLT Sampah yang berupa logam sehingga sampah logam tidak turut terbakar. Pada umumnya, pemisah logam dibuat sebagai unit permanen dengan menggunakan magnet pengangkat berupa elektromagnet yang berdiri sendiri atau bisa terintegrasi. Namun pada sistem ini, sistem pemisah logam dirancang dengan menggunakan magnet permanen yang menggabungkan inti magnet ferrite dan neodymium sehingga akan menciptakan kombinasi antara sistem yang dapat menarik scrap yang tercampur dalam sampah pada jarak yang cukup jauh namun bisa dilepaskan dengan mudah untuk dikumpulkan. Untuk membuat sistem ini bekerja optimal, sistem pemisah logam dibuat secara mobil dengan memadukannya dengan sistem derek yang terpasang pada sistem mobil kabin ganda. Dengan demikian, fleksibilitas sistem ini menjadi semakin tinggi. Uji yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan sistem pemisah logam dengan kombinasi ferrite- neodymium ini dapat menarik logam yang tercampur pada sampah hingga jarak 20 cm meskipun terhalang sampah yang lain (non-magnet), dan menarik hampir 100% dari logam yang tersedia.Kata kunci : PLT Sampah, pemisah logam, ferrite, neodymium, sampah, sistem mobil

“…This has attracted the attention of scholars in developed and developing countries in recent times [1,2,3,4]. However, while waste generation in the developed world is properly managed with effective implementation of consistent waste policies, waste generation in developing countries of global south especially Nigeria is not properly managed due to lack of effective implementation of consistent waste policies [1,5]. This has made solid waste management to be the most pressing environmental challenge faced in Nigeria cities.…”

Rapid urbanization and uncontrolled population growth in the city of Akure create a huge generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and waste management authority has not been able to manage it properly. This has led to inefficient waste collection methods, insufficient coverage of the collection system and improper disposal of solid waste. This paper investigated municipal solid waste management practices in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used in selecting 392 respondents within the eight districts in the study area. Information was collected on socio-economic characteristics of the respondents; nature and compositions of municipal solid waste and solid waste management practices in the study area. The study showed that female respondents (58.2%) were more than male (41.8%) in the study area. Also, a larger proportion of the respondents earned above N40,000 per month. More than one-third of the respondents (37.8%) created squander from vegetable and food remains, next to this were plastic (19.1%), paper (8.2%) and metal waste (6.6%). Further findings showed that the majority of the respondents (66%) do not segregate waste before disposal while the wastebasket was commonly preferred to collect waste due to its affordability. The study concluded that despite the establishment of waste management authority, most of the wastes collected was not sorted before disposal while the majority of the respondents preferred to burn their waste. The study recommended that government and non-governmental organizations should pay much attention to the issue of waste management in the area as waste was not properly managed.
