The next frontier for MSW
Article Abstract:
Prevailing waste management techniques capable of managing homogenous wastes are analyzed to find alternative ways to control the current problem of waste generated from disposable throw away products. The municipal solid waste (MSW) management system was found unsuitable in dealing with the consumer product waste and hence options like differentiating boaster and product waste for better use of biowastes and encouraging the producers for avoiding the product wastes by putting the responsibility of managing the product waste on them are discussed.

Evaluating AD system performance for MSW organics
Article Abstract:
A detailed description of Toronto's Dufferin Organics Processing Facility's (DOPF's) operations, material balances, and compositions of the source separated organics (SSO) pulp and biogas, is provided. The facility receives source separated organic SSO material from Toronto's residential Green Bin and commercial yellow Bag collection programs and separates the film plastic bin liners and contaminant materials fractions of the SSO from the organic material and convert the organic fraction into a digested solids material.

The future of waste
Article Abstract:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) separates municipal waste into basic categories analogous to technical and biological nutrients, product-related wastes and nonproduct wastes. The recycling of community-generated organics will become the centerpiece of municipal waste management.
