Adopting a cross-sectional survey design, a multistage sampling technique was used to sample 170 customers of fast-food restaurants. Data collected were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that more males patronise fast-food restaurants but most customers were of the youth population. Most customers visit fast-food restaurants at least once a week, spend between <del>N</del>1000 and <del>N</del>5000 ($1.23 and $6.13) per visit, and prefer takeaway services. Plastic, food waste, and polythene are the most generated waste by fast-food restaurants, and their generation is primarily hinged on consumption inevitability. More than half of the customers never dispose of waste within fast-food restaurants, which suggests that the majority are engaged in takeaway services. The most evident SWM initiative adopted by fast-food restaurants is using signage to promote proper waste disposal. The Chi-square test revealed that patronage frequency does not significantly influence the waste disposal practice in fast-food restaurants (χ<sup>2</sup> =12.459, <em>p</em> = 0.0189). The regression analysis also revealed waste composition significantly impacts customers' engagement in SWM practices with three out of six predictors: food waste (B =0.508, <em>p</em> = 0.000), plastic (B =0.391, <em>p</em> = 0.008) and cans/tins (B =0.369, <em>p</em> = 0.004) exerting the most significant influence.

This study employs machine learning techniques to predict municipal solid waste (MSW) composition and generation rates in Cape Coast, Ghana, integrating socioeconomic and geospatial variables to support the development of effective waste-to-energy (WtE) adoption strategies. The research utilized correlation analysis and three machine learning models: Linear Regression, Random Forest, and Long Short-Term Memory networks. The correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between population, built area, and daily waste generation (Pearson's r > 0.85), while temperature variables showed minimal correlation. Among the models evaluated, Random Forest demonstrated superior performance, achieving an R-squared score of 0.9915 and the lowest error metrics (MAE: 0.0422, MSE: 0.0077). Feature importance analysis identified population and built area as the most critical factors influencing waste generation, with importance scores of 0.508 and 0.483, respectively. These findings underscore the significant impact of urbanization on waste production and the need for integrated urban planning and waste management strategies. The results provide valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners, highlighting the necessity for waste management infrastructure to scale with urban growth. Nonetheless, the lack of gross domestic data (GDP) data limits the comprehensiveness of the analysis and may affect the forecasting accuracy. Future studies would benefit from exploring alternative economic indicators for a more comprehensive approach to waste management planning, especially in regions with scarce data.

However, certain aspects of the recycling chain, such as the role of informal waste pickers remain underappreciated, despite their significant impact on energy savings and CO<sub>2</sub> recovery. This study investigates the contribution of informal waste pickers to the recovery of recyclable solid waste in Salvador, one of the largest cities in South America, over a 13-year period. Using data from pre-recycling centers that exclusively handle materials collected by waste pickers, we tracked the temporal impact of their activities in diverting solid waste from landfills. From 2010–2022, waste pickers recovered approximately 5700 tonnes of recyclable solid waste, preventing an estimated 27,100 tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions through material substitution and landfill diversion. The most recovered materials were PET, aluminum, and paper/cardboard, with a notable shift toward increased aluminum recovery. Aluminum and PET contributed most to avoided emissions, with aluminum surpassing PET in recent years. This study underscores the critical yet often undervalued role of informal waste pickers in municipal solid waste management (MSWM) and their contribution to greenhouse gas emission reductions. Given the global prevalence of waste pickers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, further research on this topic could significantly enhance awareness of the benefits derived from their labor.

An extended model of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) was developed by integrating the Norm Activation Model (NAM) and Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT). Data was collected surveying young consumers in a developing country and analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The results show that motivation is the strongest immediate predictor of the intention to engage in EWRB, and it is significantly influenced by individuals’ active pro-environmental goal (APG) and active approval goal (AAG). The impact of APG on EWRB was found to be greater than that of AAG. Additionally, moral norm significantly influences APG, suggesting that it serves as a determinant of APG. The findings also indicate that when eco-awareness, sense of responsibility and moral norm collectively form APG, it exerts the more significant impact on EWRB. Furthermore, perceived risk was found to significantly moderate the relationship between intention and EWRB, widening the intention-behavior gap. This paper contributes by applying the TRGP in the context of EWRB and enhancing our understanding of how personal goals interact with other factors that influence EWRB. The paper also discusses the limitations of the TRGP and presents a novel extended TRGP model to address these limitations.

However, limited understanding exists regarding how different compost sources can more effectively mobilize these P fractions to enhance crop performance in field-relevant tropical conditions. This study addressed this problem by evaluating the efficacy of rice straw and corn stover composts in transforming these key P fractions into more available forms for corn (<em>Zea mays</em>) growth. A two-phase experimental design was employed, including a six-week soil incubation where Ultisol was amended at 20 tons/ha to assess shifts in Al-P, Fe-P, Ca-P, and available P, and a subsequent greenhouse experiment examining corn growth responses to varying compost rates (10, 20, 30 tons/ha). Compared to rice straw compost, corn stover compost, which contained higher levels of humic and fulvic acids, more effectively reduced P bound in Al-P, Fe-P, and Ca-P complexes by up to 67 %, thereby significantly enhancing P availability. These results align with previous findings on organic amendments but further demonstrate the pivotal role of higher humic and fulvic acid content in boosting P release from multiple soil-bound fractions. Enhanced P availability translated into improved crop performance, as evidenced by increased ear length, diameter, and grain weight. The implications of this study suggest a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to overcoming P limitations in acidic, highly weathered soils. Nonetheless, the greenhouse-scale scope represents a limitation, highlighting the need for longer-term field evaluations to assess broader impacts on soil health and nutrient cycling. These findings highlight that the superior capacity of corn stover compost to chelate metal ions, release bound P, and increase its bioavailability offers a sustainable strategy to overcome P limitation in Ultisol. Future research should explore multi-season field trials and in-depth microbial assessments of compost impacts on P dynamics, soil health, and crop resilience, ultimately optimizing sustainable soil management in tropical agriculture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143164766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
