“…This tendency of greater waste generation in high income groups is also seen in studies in other developing countries, where economy is booming [4,30,51,52]. Based on observed means; The error term is Mean Square (Error) = 0.000; * The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 levels.…”

Abstract:The current study aims to analyze and compare the quantity and composition of municipal solid waste (MSW) at three socio-economic levels of population during all four seasons of the year (spring, summer, monsoon and winter). In this study, 2164.75 kg of MSW was evaluated, from 1260 samples collected from 45 households. The average waste generation was estimated to be 0.6 kg per capita per day. Waste generation rate for high, middle and low income groups was 0.890, 0.612 and 0.346 kg per capita per day, respectively. Nevertheless, season specific analysis indicated waste generation rates of 0.78, 0.58, 0.48 and 0.75 kg per capita per day in spring, summer, monsoon and winter, respectively. A two way ANOVA statistical analysis further illustrated a significant effect (p = 0.00) of economic level and seasons on the amount and composition of waste generated by the community. Moreover, the collected waste was segregated into 42 categories, where the highest was the organic fraction (57%), then diapers (12%), followed by plastic (8%), cardboard (3%) and paper (2%). The amounts of textile, diapers and plastics were highest in the lowest income group, while tetra packs, metal, paper and yard waste were maximum in the high income group. It is concluded that the high income group generated the highest amount of waste and waste generation rate is higher in the seasons of spring and winter compared to the other two seasons.

“…Tire waste has a life span of 80 to 100 years in a landfill because of its thermostat polymer composition that neither melts nor separated into its chemical components (Martínez et al, 2013). In addition, they are bulky, and their storage in landfills cause fire outbreaks or toxicity due to trapping of hazardous gasses or habitat of diseases causing vector, flies, and rodents (Sadef et al, 2016;Frigo et al, 2014).…”

 Catalytic and non-catalytic pyrolysis of tire waste was carried out at pilot-scale  Non-catalytic pyrolysis produced highest liquid oil as compared to catalytic pyrolysis  Natural zeolite, zeolite (H-SDUSY), Al2O3 and Ca(OH)2 catalysts were used  Use of various catalysts improved the quality of liquid oil  Oil from both processes mainly contained aromatic with some aliphatic compounds

In Pakistan, solid waste management (SWM) is considered to be a serious problem, with most of the hazardousand non-hazardous waste being dumped in landfills without any segregation. The key objective of our research was to select a suitable landfill site that is environmentally sound, economically feasible and socially acceptable for metropolitan Lahore. Lahore District is located in one of the world's largest fluvial plains, namely the Indo-Gangetic meandering rivers system plain. There is only one functional landfill site situated in the northern part of the city. Multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) and geographical information system were combined and used in this research that blends two aggregation methods: weight linear combination (WCL) and assigning criteria weights. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) pair-wise comparison method was applied for assigning weights to the 9 delineated criteria. The result of the analysis show that 7 (6.26% highly suitable) possible sites are available that are greater than 50 ha in area. The selected potential landfill locations were contrasted with each other in connection to their land size, distance from nearby settlements and from the city center. The result shows that site number 6, with a weight of 0.22 (22.21%), is the most suitable location for a landfill site in Lahore. In addition, landfill site 4 is considered the least preferable site due to its weight. This site has the least environmental and social impacts, as it is at a reasonable distance from settlements and is at the same time comparatively closer to the city center. This study highlights the importance of the landfill siting process for the fluvial plain and helps in decision making.
