What America can learn from Miami’s trash nightmare. (Washington Post)

Excerpt from this Washington Post story:

Two years ago, Miami-Dade County awoke to a garbage nightmare. Both of the county landfills were nearly full, and the aging incinerator that once burned the lion’s share of the county’s waste had itself been consumed in a runaway trash fire.

After the fire, County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava proposed what she said would be the best solution to a bad problem: replacing the wrecked incinerator with a new $1.5 billion waste-to-energy facility that would generate enough electricity for 70,000 homes, pollute less than the old plant and — the mayor said — wouldn’t stink.

If built, it would be the biggest incinerator in the United States, potentially paving the way for other cities and counties to adopt a waste-management method that some scientists say is the least bad option to deal with trash that can’t be recycled or composted.

The only problem is, nobody wants it. Environmentalists called the proposal a way to greenwash burning garbage. Neighbors who lived with the old incinerator’s stink protested the plan. “I’m not saying I’m glad it burned down,” said Fabiano de Lisio, who has run a business selling motors a block from the incinerator site for 15 years. “But I’m happy I can’t smell that stench anymore.”

The core of the problem is that Americans throw out more trash than almost any other people on the planet — and lag behind other wealthy countries in recycling and composting. That leaves U.S. cities with two flawed options for getting rid of waste: burn it or bury it.

In recent years, more local governments have been considering incineration. The strategy has become common in Europe, China and Southeast Asia as the technology has advanced from the heavily polluting plants of the early 20th century to a new generation of facilities that contaminate less and offer other opportunities. In one famous Danish example, the incinerator doubles as a ski slope and public park.

Miami-Dade County’s predicament is a test of whether this solution could take root in the United States, as well.

After months of public uproar and private lobbying — including by the Trump family, which owns the nearby Trump National Doral golf course — Levine Cava pulled her support for the incinerator plan. The mayor now says the county should stick with the emergency measure it has been using since the fire: sending trucks and trains 100 miles north to dump waste in central Florida.

The final decision is up to the county commissioners, who will vote in coming weeks.

"The Netherlands is pulling even further ahead of its peers in the shift to a recycling-driven circular economy, new data shows.

According to the European Commission’s statistics office, 27.5% of the material resources used in the country come from recycled waste.

For context, Belgium is a distant second, with a “circularity rate” of 22.2%, while the EU average is 11.5% – a mere 0.8 percentage point increase from 2010.

“We are a frontrunner, but we have a very long way to go still, and we’re fully aware of that,” Martijn Tak, a policy advisor in the Dutch ministry of infrastructure and water management, tells The Progress Playbook. 

The Netherlands aims to halve the use of primary abiotic raw materials by 2030 and run the economy entirely on recycled materials by 2050. Amsterdam, a pioneer of the “doughnut economics” concept, is behind much of the progress.

Why it matters

The world produces some 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste each year, and this could rise to 3.4 billion tonnes annually by 2050, according to the World Bank.

Landfills are already a major contributor to planet-heating greenhouse gases, and discarded trash takes a heavy toll on both biodiversity and human health.

“A circular economy is not the goal itself,” Tak says. “It’s a solution for societal issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental pollution, and resource-security for the country.”

A fresh approach

While the Netherlands initially focused primarily on waste management, “we realised years ago that’s not good enough for a circular economy.”

In 2017, the state signed a “raw materials agreement” with municipalities, manufacturers, trade unions and environmental organisations to collaborate more closely on circular economy projects.

It followed that up with a national implementation programme, and in early 2023, published a roadmap to 2030, which includes specific targets for product groups like furniture and textiles. An English version was produced so that policymakers in other markets could learn from the Netherlands’ experiences, Tak says.

The programme is focused on reducing the volume of materials used throughout the economy partly by enhancing efficiencies, substituting raw materials for bio-based and recycled ones, extending the lifetimes of products wherever possible, and recycling.

It also aims to factor environmental damage into product prices, require a certain percentage of second-hand materials in the manufacturing process, and promote design methods that extend the lifetimes of products by making them easier to repair.

There’s also an element of subsidisation, including funding for “circular craft centres and repair cafés”.

This idea is already in play. In Amsterdam, a repair centre run by refugees, and backed by the city and outdoor clothing brand Patagonia, is helping big brands breathe new life into old clothes.

Meanwhile, government ministries aim to aid progress by prioritising the procurement of recycled or recyclable electrical equipment and construction materials, for instance.

State support is critical to levelling the playing field, analysts say...

Long Road Ahead

The government also wants manufacturers – including clothing and beverages companies – to take full responsibility for products discarded by consumers.

“Producer responsibility for textiles is already in place, but it’s work in progress to fully implement it,” Tak says.

And the household waste collection process remains a challenge considering that small city apartments aren’t conducive to having multiple bins, and sparsely populated rural areas are tougher to service.

“Getting the collection system right is a challenge, but again, it’s work in progress.”

...Nevertheless, Tak says wealthy countries should be leading the way towards a fully circular economy as they’re historically the biggest consumers of natural resources."

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #22

June 7-14 2024

Vice-President Harris announced that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is moving to remove medical debt for people's credit score. This move will improve the credit rating of 15 million Americans. Millions of Americans struggling with debt from medical expenses can't get approved for a loan for a car, to start a small business or buy a home. The new rule will improve credit scores by an average of 20 points and lead to 22,000 additional mortgages being approved every year. This comes on top of efforts by the Biden Administration to buy up and forgive medical debt. Through money in the American Rescue Plan $7 billion dollars of medical debt will be forgiven by the end of 2026. To date state and local governments have used ARP funds to buy up and forgive the debt of 3 million Americans and counting.

The EPA, Department of Agriculture, and FDA announced a joint "National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics". The Strategy aimed to cut food waste by 50% by 2030. Currently 24% of municipal solid waste in landfills is food waste, and food waste accounts for 58% of methane emissions from landfills roughly the green house gas emissions of 60 coal-fired power plants every year. This connects to $200 million the EPA already has invested in recycling, the largest investment in recycling by the federal government in 30 years. The average American family loses $1,500 ever year in spoiled food, and the strategy through better labeling, packaging, and education hopes to save people money and reduce hunger as well as the environmental impact.

President Biden signed with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy a ten-year US-Ukraine Security Agreement. The Agreement is aimed at helping Ukraine win the war against Russia, as well as help Ukraine meet the standards it will have to be ready for EU and NATO memberships. President Biden also spearheaded efforts at the G7 meeting to secure $50 billion for Ukraine from the 7 top economic nations.

HHS announced $500 million for the development of new non-injection vaccines against Covid. The money is part of Project NextGen a $5 billion program to accelerate and streamline new Covid vaccines and treatments. The investment announced this week will support a clinical trial of 10,000 people testing a vaccine in pill form. It's also supporting two vaccines administered as nasal sprays that are in earlier stages of development. The government hopes that break throughs in non-needle based vaccines for Covid might be applied to other vaccinations thus making vaccines more widely available and more easily administered.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced $404 million in additional humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and the region. This brings the total invested by the Biden administration in the Palestinians to $1.8 billion since taking office, over $600 million since the war started in October 2023. The money will focus on safe drinking water, health care, protection, education, shelter, and psychosocial support.

The Department of the Interior announced $142 million for drought resilience and boosting water supplies. The funding will provide about 40,000 acre-feet of annual recycled water, enough to support more than 160,000 people a year. It's funding water recycling programs in California, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada and Texas. It's also supporting 4 water desalination projects in Southern California. Desalination is proving to be an important tool used by countries with limited freshwater.

President Biden took the lead at the G7 on the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment. The PGI is a global program to connect the developing world to investment in its infrastructure from the G7 nations. So far the US has invested $40 billion into the program with a goal of $200 billion by 2027. The G7 overall plans on $600 billion by 2027. There has been heavy investment in the Lobito Corridor, an economic zone that runs from Angola, through the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Zambia, the PGI has helped connect the 3 nations by rail allowing land locked Zambia and largely landlocked DRC access Angolan ports. The PGI also is investing in a $900 million solar farm in Angola. The PGI got a $5 billion dollar investment from Microsoft aimed at expanding digital access in Kenya, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The PGI's bold vision is to connect Africa and the Indian Ocean region economically through rail and transportation link as well as boost greener economic growth in the developing world and bring developing nations on-line.

GMO: 700,000 people become infected as accumulated waste exacerbates health crisis

Friday 29-March-2024

The Government Media Office (GMO) in the Gaza Strip revealed that 700,000 people have become infected with infectious diseases, including 8,000 cases of viral hepatitis, as a result of overcrowding in shelter centers amid fragile conditions, and the lack of food, water, and required health care.

The Gaza Municipality warned on Friday of the spread of dangerous diseases caused by rodents and harmful insects that have spread as a result of the accumulation of large quantities of solid waste in the city’s streets.

The municipality explained, in a statement, that the accumulation of waste was due to the depletion of fuel and preventing municipal crews from reaching the main landfill east of the city, in addition to destroying municipal machinery by Israeli occupation forces.

The municipality estimated the accumulation at 90,000 tons of solid waste and destroyed municipal machinery. The leakage of sewage into the city’s streets has led to the spread of diseases, pollution of the underground reservoir, and the spread of rats, harmful insects, and unpleasant odors in the city.”

The Israeli occupation forces, supported by the United States and Europe, continue to commit the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip, for the 175th day in a row, by launching air strikes, artillery shelling, and fire belts, committing bloody massacres against civilians, and carrying out horrific crimes in the areas of incursion, amid a situation a catastrophic humanitarian crisis resulting from the siege and the displacement of more than 90 percent of the population.

31.9% of Brazilian municipalities still dispose of solid waste in landfills

In 2023, 31.9% of Brazilian municipalities still used landfills, considered the worst waste disposal method, as the final disposal unit for solid waste. In 28.6% of the municipalities, there were sanitary landfills, while controlled tipping were used in 18.7%.

According to the National Solid Waste Policy, municipalities with a population of over 50,001 residents should have implemented environmentally appropriate final disposal of waste and put an end to landfills by August 2023. However, 21.5% of these municipalities still had landfills as the final disposal unit for solid waste.

In Brazil, 3,364 (60.5%) of the municipalities with some solid waste management service had selective collection, while 56.7% implemented legal instruments that deal with selective collection, indicating that there is a convergence between legislation and practice in just over half of Brazilian municipalities. Of the 5,557 municipalities with urban cleaning and solid waste management services, 4,093 (73.7%) reported the presence of informal waste workers. Waste workers' entities focused on selective waste collection were present in 1,498 (27.0%) municipalities.

The existence of some kind of drainage and rainwater management device was reported in 5,348 (96.0%) municipalities in 2023. The Southeast Region had the highest percentage of municipalities with the service (99.6%) and the Northeast, the lowest (89.3%).

The hair that drops in clumps on the floors of some salons in Kiel, a port city in northern Germany, is swept up to be turned into fabrics that filter oil from water. Parents who want to buy their children cloth nappies instead of disposable ones can apply for grants of up to €200 from the local authorities. At the city’s biggest festival last year, the organisers got rid of single-use cutlery and replaced it with a deposit system.

Germany is famed as a world leader in recycling – and Kiel, as I found out during a visit this summer, has some of the most weird and workable plans in the country to deal with its trash. It is the first German city to be declared “zero waste” by the environmental campaign group Zero Waste Europe. The certificate does not mean it has already stopped throwing things away – far from it – but rather that it has a concrete plan for how to do better.

“It’s one step in the right direction,” says Bettina Aust – a Green party politician who was elected president of Kiel city council in June – over a glass of juice made from apples that had been saved from landing in a supermarket bin. “You have to keep thinking further … You cannot stay still.”

Germany has a complicated relationship with waste. Despite its status as a world leader in recycling, Europe’s biggest economy is also one of its dirtiest. In 2021, the average German generated 646kg of waste, while the average EU citizen generated 530kg. Only in four EU countries – Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium – did people throw away more.

Dino Klösen, a manager at Kiel’s waste management company ABK, says trends in the country’s consumption can be seen in its bins. Paper recycling bins that would have once been full of newspapers are now bursting with cardboard from delivery packages. “The weight of paper waste has dropped but the volume keeps rising from online shopping,” he says.

Awash with waste, cities like Kiel are exploring ways to throw away less and recycle more of what it does chuck. The city council has announced projects ranging from a ban on single-use items in public institutions, to installing more public drinking fountains, to teaching schoolchildren about waste. It is also encouraging people to make simple changes to their behaviour such as using solid bars of soap instead of buying plastic bottles of the stuff.

Other proposals are more systemic. The city is trialling a “pay as you throw” system where people are charged only for the rubbish they throw in the mixed waste bin. A report from the European Environment Agency last year found only about 30% of Germany is covered by such a scheme, even though areas that were covered saw an average drop in mixed waste of 25%.

“General waste is the most expensive form of rubbish there is,” says Klösen. “We are trying to motivate citizens to throw less waste in the bin by making them pay less for doing so.”

Even though waste-cutting efforts like Kiel’s are fairly novel in Germany, recycling is firmly rooted in the culture. In 2021, Germans collected more than two-thirds of their municipal solid waste to be repurposed – more than any other country in Europe. They burned most of the rest for energy, and dumped just 1% in landfills (the EU average is 16%).

Commercial Wastewater Treatment Plant in Gurgaon

Netsol Water is a leading Commercial RO Plant Manufacturer in Gurgaon, providing advance solutions for waste water management. Commercial wastewater refers to the liquid discharged from business and other commercial services such as offices, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and any other type of non-industrial commercial establishments. Unlike house-hold waste, the contaminants found in commercial water include food waste, chemicals used for cleaning, grease, oils, and other organic and inorganic substances, which makes the wastewater harder to handle if not correctly treated and released into municipal sewages or natural waters.

Commercial wastewater treatment is critical for environmental protection and public health. Commercial facilities produce massive amounts of wastewater that could easily destroy water resources and ecosystems if it is not treated. Major objectives of commercial wastewater treatment include pollutant removal, diminution of chemical and biological contaminants, reduced environmental impact, and conformity to local and national water pollution control regulations.

Netsol Water is one of the best Commercial RO Plant Manufacturers in Gurgaon, offering solutions for waste water. Commercial waste water treatment involves various multi-stage processes for properly cleaning and purifying the water before its final discharge. Most standard treatment processes include pre-screening to eliminate heavy debris and solid wastes. It includes primary treatment, where suspended matters in the water are usually removed using physical methods, among which sedimentation is known to be one. The second is biological, breaking organic material with the action of microorganisms and also purifying the water by this mechanism. Advanced processes might be chemical, where there may include disinfection processes, nutrient removal, special filters in order to reduce certain compounds that are typically specific for the commercial establishments only.

Commercial wastewater treatment employs a number of technologies such as activated sludge systems, membrane bioreactors, rotating biological contactors, and advanced oxidation processes. These help remove different types of pollutants such as suspended solids, organic compounds, heavy metals, and harmful bacteria. Treatment technology depends on the characteristics of the wastewater, the local environmental regulations, and the quality of treated water that is required.

Netsol Water is a major water treatment company that has set up a specialized commercial wastewater treatment plant in Gurgaon, to cope with the growing environmental challenges in the city. This is a significant move towards sustainable water management in Gurgaon, which is witnessing rapid industrialization. Netsol Water treatment plant handles the complex wastewater generated by the many commercial establishments in Gurgaon and offers advanced solutions for meeting stringent environmental standards.
