Review on Waste-to-Energy Approaches toward a Circular Economy in Developed and Developing Countries

Processes, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(9), С. 2566 - 2566

Опубликована: Авг. 27, 2023

International interest in using waste-to-energy (WtE) technology toward a circular economy (CE) is developing, spurred by environmental challenges such as inefficient solid waste dumping, pollution, and resource depletion. Incineration, pyrolysis, gasification, landfill, anaerobic digestion are standard WtE technologies. Although these methods have been used for many decades, all countries try to implement the best plans based on their technologies capacities. Therefore, an up-to-date comprehensive study needed evaluate existing barriers draw logical roadmap CE. this review addresses recent policies adopted developed developing Based findings, most seek cost-effective environmentally sustainable pathways CE; meanwhile, international collaboration governmental support overcome find economically viable plan both future.

To mitigate climate change while catering to the needs of a growing population, cities need find smarter ways manage their resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Since waste management and circular economy will be instrumental in this endeavour, current level circularity cities, environmental impact related activities sharable best practices explored. This paper examines roadmap zero emissions 362 that expressed interest Horizon Europe 100 Climate-Neutral Smart Cities Mission. Based on an unprecedented suite city inputs, study answers set research questions so far unaddressed due lack suitable dataset. The analysis focusses a) actions undertaken by achieving reducing/optimising streams, b) envisioned supporting neutrality 2030, c) urban sectors metabolic flows for which has particularly high potential change. Best are captured create informative aimed at policy-makers encouraging peer-to-peer learning. Finally, barriers incrementing approaches emerge from cities' self-assessments compared those identified existing scientific literature provide input more comprehensive conceptual framework. Overall, distils how imaginaries translated into local governance policy-making focussing large group cities. is key truly understand why some initiatives fail others succeed can inform all relevant stakeholders next steps take.

Circular economy (CE) has been globally acknowledged as a national sustainable development (SD) strategy to confront resource shortages and environmental contamination challenges. Although public behaviors lifestyles play an essential role in achieving sustainability, developing countries, few studies explored the of awareness, attitudes, on CE transition. Thus, it is necessary elicit opinion understand their awareness attitude regarding determine obstacles implementation approaches overcoming them.

The Circular Economy (CE) is generally understood as an opportunity to transform the current unsustainable linear economic system by redesigning way organisations provide goods and services rethinking how society consumes uses those resources. In this context, public sector mainly recognised actor enabling implementation of a sustainable CE through governmental interventions policy initiatives. However, there lack studies considering at organisational level. in includes wide range different practices that are important examine order analyse process. Consequently, study aims characterise state implementing circular supporting strategies central organisations. To fulfil aim, questionnaire survey was sent pertaining Portuguese Central Public Administration, surveys valuable tools systematically collect information on various topics. results demonstrate relatively low level implementation. such purchasing remanufactured or used items, using sharing platforms, increasing efficiency buildings, adopting green human resources collaborative initiatives for circularity, assessing communicating about activities have presented levels adoption. At same time, waste collection recycling dematerialisation showed good levels. There is, thus, immense potential further circularity Portugal. This research contributes deepening understanding extent which embedded identifying main strengths weaknesses. has help practitioners researchers transition towards opportunities their building vision implement
