Municipal solid waste (MSW) characterization plays a pivotal role in devising effective management strategies conducive to fostering circular economy. This study presents composition analysis across twenty-four subcategories sourced from residential, commercial, and industrial sectors Kuwait. The is conducted accordance with the Standard Test Method for Determination of Composition Unprocessed Solid Waste (ASTM D5231). results indicate that organic comprises 45.3%, followed by paper (19.9%) plastics (19.8%). remaining glass (3.5%), diapers (2.7%), textiles (2.6%) other waste. Paper consists mainly mixed (12.1%), cardboard (3.7%), newspaper (3.3%), printer printouts (0.6%) office (0.2%). Plastic (19.8%) film (11.2%), PET (3.1%), HDPE (1.1%) (4.4%). Residential areas have highest proportion Commercial produce wastepaper (22.4%) (3.7%). Industrial plastic (29.1%), most which (17.3%). also provides an overview MSW system country, over legislative framework, forecasts future generation rates comparison historical baselines.Implications: precise up-to-date municipal imperative scholarly journal submissions, as it establishes foundational understanding composition, aiding researchers policymakers development strategies, resource recovery initiatives, sustainable solutions address evolving challenges systems.This detailed collected different sources: industrial, areas. Time series forecasting applied predict based on data obtained through local municipality past decade. Factorial investigate changes source areas, hypothesis test used compare current against previous baselines. demonstrated significant variation categories. has increased 48.5% compared 2013 data, despite awareness campaigns. 6.8% 16.2%; this increase associated subcategory, mostly packaging. provided are necessary long-term monitoring, strategy assessment, legislation reduction remediation.

The relationships within the Energy-Water nexus are inherently complex, necessitating sophisticated methods to optimize and manage these interactions effectively. Metamodeling emerges as a crucial technique in abstracting complex into manageable analytical form. This study adopts systematic approach construct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) metamodels, aimed at examining water-energy of various desalination technologies. A critical aspect developed methodology is selection sampling points that align with LCA scenarios through tailored designed experiment (DoE) model. These scenarios, which include Reverse Osmosis (RO), Electrodialysis (ED), Multi-Effect Distillation (MED), evaluated using set indicators nexus, across tradeoff policies. results signify impact considering Nexus on optimizing processes, compared evaluating energy water metrics independently. In policies where considerations were not integrated—focusing solely cumulative or exclusively footprint—the RO Wind Turbine (RO[WT]) scenario emerged optimal solution. configuration consumed 7.540 MJ 1.654 m³ carbon footprint 0.719 kg CO2eq per cubic meter desalinated water. Conversely, incorporate favor adoption MED Thermal Solar (MED[TS]) scenario. Characterized by its moderate consumption 2.226 MJ, m³, meter. findings illustrate role employing frameworks metamodeling minimizing environmental impacts associated processes.
