However, there is no compositional data on VM packaging waste in scientific literature, hindering effective problem diagnosis and solution proposals. So, this research proposes a protocol to characterise VM packaging waste entering and leaving a sorting centre and presents the corresponding results. Of the 822.1 kg entering the centre, glass is the predominant material (66.7%, in weight). Often, glass has rubber and metal attached, but this is not recognised as a constraint on recyclability by the glass recycling industry. Biohazardous VM waste was found in the containers dedicated to pharmacologic VM waste, raising a challenge. To evaluate alignment with the principles of circularity, opportunities for waste reduction were assessed but found to be limited by stringent VM regulations. Nevertheless, the potential for recycling could be enhanced through adjustments to the sorting procedures. Moreover, future research should prioritise biohazard risks and operational aspects of recyclability.

This article provides a comprehensive review of global plastic waste management (PWM) strategies, focusing on advancements in processing technologies, policy frameworks and their practical applications. It highlights the role of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and regulatory bodies across the United States, Canada, Europe, Britain, India, Japan, Australia and China in fostering sustainable PWM practices. The study evaluates key processing techniques, including pyrolysis, gasification, supercritical water conversion, plasma-assisted processes, mechanical reprocessing and landfilling, emphasizing their technological advancements, limitations and scalability. Supercritical water conversion (operating at >374°C and 22.1 MPa) and plasma-assisted processing (using ionized gas at >3000°C) are identified as advanced methods capable of converting plastics into simpler molecules or valuable by-products. However, these technologies face challenges such as high energy requirements, operational costs and limited scalability. Persistent issues, including microplastic pollution, environmental impacts and the chemical-intensive nature of certain processes, are critically analysed. Drawing on extensive reviews of patents, case studies and real-world implementations, the study also examines the reuse potential of plastic by-products in diverse industries and evaluates state-level PWM initiatives in India. This review provides actionable insights for policymakers, researchers and industry stakeholders, highlighting critical gaps and opportunities to enhance the sustainability and scalability of PWM systems.

This study aimed at assessing the biowaste sorting efficiency and the attitude of households towards a pilot biowaste source-segregation system linked to a decentralized composting plant in Tiassalé. For this purpose, the impurity rate of source-segregated biowaste was monitored through the first year of implementation. Then, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to evaluate households' attitude. The results have shown that the average impurities rate in source-segregated biowaste was very low (1%). This finding was confirmed by the results of laboratory analysis which revealed a very low heavy metals (0.2, 12.4, 7.1 and 15.5 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> DS for Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb, respectively) contamination in the compost produced. Regarding the acceptability of the source-segregation system, the results showed that the majority (75%) of the participants accepted the source-segregation system of biowaste and almost half (47%) of them were ready to pay for such a collection service. In conclusion, this study revealed that providing households with the needed municipal solid waste management infrastructures and rising awareness about biowaste source segregation are keys for the establishment of such a collection system in Tiassalé and similar urban areas.

While there is a wealth of research on the primary causes of food waste, little attention has been given to the link between surplus production and waste generation. Current approaches to reducing food waste predominantly focus on redistributing surplus rather than preventing its formation. This study conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to delve into the concept of food surplus and understand its relationship to food waste. It also seeks to pinpoint the key challenges and limitations of redistributing food surplus. This SLR revealed that the definition of food surplus is ambiguous and lacks clear parameters for determining what qualifies food as surplus. As a result, food edible for consumption is often categorized as surplus and may or may not be recovered. The classification of food as surplus or waste is intricate and is influenced more by economic factors than physical characteristics. While food redistribution via food banks is crucial for addressing food insecurity, it encounters technical and operational obstacles that limit high levels of food recovery. Therefore, preventive strategies should be implemented to curb overproduction, which appears to be the root cause of surplus formation and waste. However, reducing overproduction requires structural changes in the current food system logic.</p>","PeriodicalId":23671,"journal":{"name":"Waste Management & Research","volume":" ","pages":"1400-1409"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143493797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In every stage of HCWM, there are several alternative choices/strategies to be evaluated against a set of conflicting criteria. Numerous multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have appeared to resolve the issue. This article reviews 101 articles available in Scopus and other scholarly databases on applications of MCDM techniques in solving HCWM problems. Those articles are classified into six groups: (a) selection of the most effective HCW treatment technology, (b) identification of the best HCW disposal site, (c) assessment of the best-performing healthcare unit adopting ideal HCWM strategies, (d) selection of third party logistics providers, (e) identification of HCWM barriers and (f) evaluation of specific HCWM plans. It is observed that the past researchers have mostly preferred to apply MCDM tools for solving HCW treatment technology selection problems, whereas analytic hierarchy process, decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory and best-worst method and fuzzy set theory have been the mostly favoured MCDM tool, criteria weight measurement techniques and uncertainty model, respectively.

Specifically, countries with stronger economies tend to produce more ELVs, distinguishing two clusters when GDP is 35,000 € per capita. By adopting best practices and innovative approaches, European countries can enhance their ELV management systems, support a more circular economy and sustainable development.
