“…The results of this study suggested that Central Java has a variety of kinds of hazardous waste (HW) generated in the area, comprising of 4042 types of HW that are generated in large amounts, totaling 2,886,974,024 tons during 2021. This amount is similar to the total HW produced in the whole of Nigeria [4]. Our results suggest that the sector that generates the largest amount of hazardous waste is the healthcare sector.…”

“…One of the main sources of hazardous waste is industries that involve heavy metals in their activities, such as electronic, painting, metal formation, and automobile industries. Industries that produce volatile chemicals, flammables components, organic solvents, nuclear reactors, and petroleum also become a source of hazardous waste [4]. The types of hazardous waste produced by each business sector are also very diverse.…”

Hazardous waste may be an environmental and public health threat if not managed properly and may contribute to a regional multi-hazard when other natural disasters also exist. Hazardous and toxic waste may cause industrial disaster if its risks are not well identified and mitigated. This study aims to model the city/district-based risk assessment for each type of hazardous waste in Central Java Province for anticipating hazardous waste disasters and necessary responses. The concept of disaster is used as the method in this study, consisting of hazard, vulnerability, and capacity. The results showed that the generation of hazardous waste in Central Java Province was very large, amounting to 2,886,974.024 tons in 2021. The hazardous waste produced was sourced from 1233 types of businesses/activities in Central Java Province, with 4042 types of hazardous waste. The healthcare sector is identified as the sector that produces the most hazardous waste. Overall, the risk levels of the majority of hazardous waste types fall into the low category.

“…In this way, natural resources will be less damaged in the material production process, and this will contribute to the sustainability of economic growth. Sajid et al [57], Hassan and Saleh [58] and Siril et al [59] highlighted that legal regulations should be created effectively so that it can be much easier to handle environmental problems created by material production investments.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the environmental impacts of material production investments. The factors of Higg Materials Sustainability Index are defined as the parameters. These factors are weighted by considering T-SF TOPSIS-DEMATEL. Moreover, the items of the life cycle process are defined as alternative set for measuring the environmental effects of each process in the sustainable production investments. These alternatives are ranked with interval valued SF MAIRCA. The calculations are also made for different t, u and d values with the aim of making comparative evaluations. The main contribution of this study is that a priority analysis has been made so that the most significant indicators are defined for the companies to increase sustainability in material production investment process. Another important novelty of this paper is that a new model is created by the name of TOPSIS-DEMATEL. This situation has a positive influence on both increasing methodological originality and overcoming criticized issues of DEMATEL. The results are quite similar for all conditions, so it is understood that the proposed model provides consistent and coherent findings. It is concluded that chemistry is the most critical factor for environmental impact for material production investments. Moreover, recycle is determined as the most optimal alternative.

“…Hazardous wastes are diverse and complex in nature, and the differences in characteristics and types determine the risk to human health is not the same [1], if the same disposal method is used for hazardous wastes with large differences in hazards, unscientific and bound to increase management costs [2]. Therefore, before disposal, they are usually collected and stored in a unified hazardous waste storage site, and a certain amount of hazardous waste with corrosive, acute toxicity and other dangerous properties, in the storage site, if combined with rainwater will form a toxic and corrosive leachate, and leachate usually contains a variety of heavy metals, inorganic and organic substances and other pollution components [3], once the leakage from the storage site to the seepage zone and aquifers and other environmental For example, cadmium, a heavy metal in leachate, can cause chemical pneumonia and acute respiratory failure when ingested in excess in humans [4].…”

Storage sites are the main sites for solid waste storage and also involve environmental pollution risks, but the aging of geomembrane materials and the evolution of defects in hazardous waste storage yards in service environment, which may lead to long-term increase in leakage and sudden increase in pollution risks, have received less attention from scholars. Taking a hazardous waste storage site in northern China (the main solid waste is cadmium-containing slag) as an example, the geomembrane damage characteristics (vulnerability density) and aging characteristics (aging onset time and half-life) were obtained through on-site dipole testing and laboratory geomembrane performance assessment. On the basis of this, we used a hydrological process assessment model (HELP) to simulate the rainfall-evaporation-runoff-infiltration and leachate generation processes under regional scale conditions, and a landfill groundwater contamination risk simulation model (Landsim) to simulate the lateral discharge-leakage processes inside the storage site and the migration-diffusion behavior in the saturated-unsaturated zone after leakage under the aging and defect evolution of geomembrane materials.
