Annually, approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans, contributing to ecosystem degradation and human exposure to toxic substances. Toxins such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), dioxins, furans, and heavy metal residues released from plastic degradation cause severe health risks, including endocrine disruption, carcinogenesis, and respiratory diseases. This study reviews exposure pathways and bioaccumulation mechanisms of plastic-derived toxins, their health risks, mitigation strategies, and policy interventions. The findings reveal that BPA concentrations in rivers can exceed 12 µg/L, and dioxins in soil surpass 1000 ng Toxic Equivalency Quotient (TEQ)/kg in areas with open burning, exceeding WHO thresholds. In Poland, landfill leachate shows phthalate levels over 303 µg/L, while heavy metals in fish tissue reached over 2.26 ng/g wet weight in Sweden. Vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, face heightened risk exposure, with 39–45 % of urban waste being formally managed. Despite recycling efforts, only 9 % of plastic waste is recycled globally, while open burning and inadequate incineration release hazardous pollutants like dioxins and furans. Advanced solutions, such as chemical recycling, with recovery rates up to 97 % for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and enzymatic degradation, achieving 90 % plastic breakdown in 10 h, show promise but face scalability challenges. Case studies from Germany, Japan, and Rwanda demonstrate effective strategies, including extended producer responsibility schemes and bans on single-use plastics, achieving recycling rates exceeding 41 % and reducing waste by 90 %. However, challenges persist, particularly in low- and middle-income countries with inadequate waste management infrastructure. This study concludes by recommending stricter regulations, investment in advanced recycling technologies, development of bioplastics, and international collaborations to mitigate health risks and environmental contamination from plastic waste.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143825416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process involves subjecting the raw materials to controlled pyrolysis conditions and compaction into briquettes. FTIR analysis of biochar and raw dried samples, physicochemical analysis, and percentage yield on biochar, and calorific value on the briquettes produced were conducted to characterize the agricultural wastes. The physicochemical parameters of their biochar revealed significant differences in their composition.

The study was conducted in two municipal divisions of Kampala, Uganda (Kawempe and Makindye). Solid waste from 19 shared sanitation systems was collected, dried, classified, and quantified during emptying. Interviews were conducted with 20 emptiers, 40 users (20 male, 20 female), and 16 key informants (all male). Most solid waste found in pit latrines and septic tanks was classified as “taboo” waste—items hidden due to social, cultural, or religious reasons. The reasons given for disposing of solid waste in these systems supports previous hypotheses which had remained unexplored. This study generated new hypotheses, particularly emphasizing the role of “taboo” waste, due to its comprehensive methodology. Findings highlight the need for sanitation and waste management sectors to address “taboo” waste specifically rather than general solid waste. Additionally, no stakeholders had considered the complex relationship between these systems, yet an integrated approach is essential for sustainable solutions. These novel insights are critical for solid waste and sanitation specialists worldwide, emphasizing the importance of addressing hidden waste disposal behaviours to improve system efficiency and sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143847509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated a two-step AD process using cow manure and yeast extract through mono- and co-digestion trials at pilot-scale, serving as a preliminary step to assess feasibility and performance prior to scaling up for full-scale implementation on a dairy farm. Two 72 L continuously stirred tank reactors were operated, with the primary reactor maintained at mesophilic conditions and the secondary reactor acting as a thermophilic post-digester. This configuration was used to assess the influence of thermophilic post-digestion on biogas yield and digestate quality. During the mono-digestion of manure, mesophilic digestion yielded 138 L CH₄/kg VS, while thermophilic post-digestion provided an additional methane recovery of 100 L CH₄/kg VS. Co-digestion with yeast extract significantly enhanced methane yield, increasing it 1.77-fold to 421 L CH₄/kg VS in the two-stage AD system. However, co-digestion resulted in elevated hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) levels, posing potential challenges for biogas purification. Additionally, higher and more fluctuating volatile fatty acid concentrations were observed compared to manure mono-digestion. The quality and safety of the digestates remained comparable between mono- and co-digestion treatments, suggesting that co-digestion with yeast extract can offer advantages for manure-based AD systems, although an effective H₂S mitigation strategy is recommended to optimise process sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101276,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management Bulletin","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143808567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there are many alternate solutions in the form of bioplastics, many of them lack crucial properties like tensility, flexibility and stretchability to be able to completely replace plastics. Various additives and plasticizers are added to enhance their properties. Latex, a milky white colloidal substance, is one of the potential bio additives which not only elevates the strength of the blend but also enhances various properties including elasticity, hydrophobicity, and reduces water absorptivity. This study summarises the effect of latex on most common bio plastic bases including starch, cellulose, poly lactic acid and highlights the exploitation of the inherent elasticity of latex which has the potential to provide a plausible solution to the solid waste accumulation threat.

This study explores a dual-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) for simultaneous wastewater treatment and electricity generation. The MFC consists of an anaerobic anode chamber and an aerobic cathode chamber, separated by a proton exchange membrane (PEM). Electroactive microorganisms in the anode chamber metabolize organic substrates, including azo dye contaminants, breaking them down into simpler by-products. Electrons released during this process flow through an external circuit to generate current, while protons migrate across the PEM to the cathode chamber for oxygen reduction. Electrochemically active microbes were isolated from azo-dye-contaminated soil, and their degradation abilities validated through assays. Optimized carbon-based electrodes and a Nafion 117 PEM were used to enhance conductivity and microbial activity. UV–Vis spectroscopy tracked dye degradation, with the absorbance peak of reactive yellow dye at 410 nm decreasing from 2.9 to 0.4, indicating effective azo-bond cleavage. The MFC achieved peak voltage and current outputs of 0.20 mV and 0.16 mA, respectively, demonstrating its dual functionality.

A short-term field study was conducted from 2021 to 2022 to assess the potential of agricultural wastes management approaches to enhance aggregation (MWD) and mineral-associated organic carbon. The study consisted of six treatments: (1) control, (2) fertilization (NPK), (3) agricultural waste burn and ash incorporation, (4) NPK + agricultural waste burn and ash incorporation, (5) agricultural waste application at 8 (rice) and 6 (okra) ton ha⁻¹, and (6) NPK + agricultural waste application at 8 (rice) and 6 (okra) ton ha⁻¹ with one year duration (Okra from mid-November to mid-March – fallow from mid-March to mid-July – lowland rice (<em>Oryza sativa</em>) mid-July to mid-November).
