Este trabalho Ã constitutivo do nosso exercÃcio profissional como Assistente Social e do processo de formaÃÃo como mestranda no Programa de Mestrado em Desenvolvimento Regional e AgronegÃcio. Neste processo, elegemos como lÃcus desta investigaÃÃo a Cooperativa dos Agentes Ambientais de Santa Helena âAmigos do Meio Ambienteâ que, a priori, nos parecia tÃo comum e conhecido. Delimitamos como objeto de anÃlise âA forma de existir e de ser da Cooperativa dos Agentes Ambientais de Santa Helena âAmigos do Meio Ambienteâ e sua imbricaÃÃo na Usina de Beneficiamento de ResÃduos SÃlidos do municÃpio de Santa Helena-PR.â. Diante das angÃstias que nortearam a construÃÃo do objeto aqui deflagrado, que se formaram a partir do contato inicial em 2004 com os catadores de materiais reciclÃveis do municÃpio de Santa Helena-PR, construÃmos como problema de pesquisa: âOs inovadores mecanismos de formulaÃÃo teÃrica e prÃtica presentes na Cooperativa dos Agentes Ambientais de Santa Helena âAmigos do Meio Ambienteâ respondem aos interesses dos trabalhadores?â. Observando o descontentamento de alguns catadores e o incentivo do gestor municipal para a instalaÃÃo da Usina e a formaÃÃo da Cooperativa, aliado aos postulados do capitalismo, principalmente em sua fase tardia, entendemos relevante desconstruir e reconstruir esta realidade a partir da pesquisa empÃrica. Com este propÃsito, definimos como objetivo âApreender, compreender e analisar a cooperativa de trabalho no processo de beneficiamento de resÃduos sÃlidos, em sua manifestaÃÃo concreta no movimento do capital tardio em resposta as determinaÃÃes particulares do capitalismo no Brasil e sua objetivaÃÃo no municÃpio de Santa Helenaâ. Com base na abordagem qualitativa, tendo o estudo de caso como tipo especÃfico de delimitaÃÃo do objeto e com a utilizaÃÃo da pesquisa bibliogrÃfica, da entrevista, da anÃlise documental e da observaÃÃo, a pesquisa desvelou o lÃcus desta anÃlise. A atitude investigativa nos permitiu concluir que a Cooperativa âAmigos do Meio Ambienteâ trata-se de uma âcooperfradudeâ, a qual Ã legitimada pelo Estado, suprimindo os princÃpios do cooperativismo e eximindo o capital da raiz da exploraÃÃo da forÃa de trabalho. A Cooperativa mascara a lÃgica do assalariamento, se isentando da garantia de direitos socialmente conquistados pelos trabalhadores, os quais se degradam na luta cotidiana pela sobrevivÃncia.

This project is constitutive of our professional practice as a social worker and of the formation process like mastering in the program of masters degree in Regional and Agrobusiness development. In this process we chose as the locus of this investigation the cooperative of the environmental agents from Santa Helena âFriends of the Environmentâ that the priory was seemed so common and known.

The relationship between the scavengers of recycleable materials and the recycling organizations was the theme of this research, whose aim was to investigate the perception of the scavengers concerning their labor relations, the conditions in which they perform their functions and the labor practices in the recycling cooperatives, trying to reflect about the processes of social inclusion/exclusion of these workers. This is a descriptive and exploratory case study, whose research instruments were the semi-structured interview and documentary analysis. The technique for studying the results was Lanes graphic analysis of the speech. The interviews were carried out individually with ten participants from two garbage recycling cooperatives that operate in the municipality of Goiania. The recycling of urban garbage appears as an emerging activity, and is an integral part of the green market, that is, it is within the activities that are of an environmental nature that have arisen along with the environmentalist movements and those of environmental preservation. The recycling of recyclable materials is a complex productive chain that involves several participants and while it generates indisputable environmental advantages for society in general, the economic aspects stand out. The hunting and collecting of recyclable materials, the first step in the process of recycling, constitutes for many workers the only way to guarantee their survival and the possibility of social inclusion in a labor market more and more exclusive. By means of graphic analysis of the speech the participants in this study perceived the intense exploitation to which they, the scavengers, are submitted. They who carry out a job of undeniable importance, neither obtaining recognition from society nor improvements in their working conditions even though they are part of a highly lucrative chain of production. In this way the results obtained from this study suggest that the labor relations are precarious and informal between the scavengers and the recycling organizations. The work of scavenging occurs by necessity not by choice, and the scavengers are informally inserted into the official circuit of recycling. It is a job that exposes the worker to various kinds of health risks, makes them victims of prejudice, humiliation, and negative stigmas and excludes them from some social situations. The data also revealed that some organizations, under the allegation of using cooperative principles, in bad faith subcontract for cheap labor so that the scavengers carry on their activities in precarious and alienating conditions. In opposition to this exploiting and alienating character, the organization of the scavengers in cooperatives that adopt genuine cooperative principles can take the form of a possibility to search for better working and living conditions, for something beyond survival.

▼ NO FULL TEXT AVAILABLE. This thesis contains 3rd party copyright material. – – Oil spills, leakage and other releases of products from the petroleum industry are a source of contamination and are recognised as a major environmental concern. Managing these wastes becomes one of the pressing needs confronting the petroleum industry. Current treatment technologies are either cost prohibitive and/or the treated products have to be sent to land fill without any potential end-use, thereby rendering these solutions unsustainable. Cement-based stabilisation/solidification is an emerging technology; however there is limited knowledge about how oil contamination impacts the reuse of the resulting cementitious material. The objective of this research is to firstly, understand the impact of incorporated petroleum based oily materials and production water (saline water) generated from petroleum processes on the cement solidification process and secondly, to establish its effect on the properties of the resultant mortar. This knowledge is needed to determine the appropriate end-use of these materials. Isothermal and semi-adiabatic calorimetry was used to study changes to cement reaction due to oil and salt amendmates. Increased oil content in mortar led to increased reaction inhibition (lower peaks) and delayed reaction. Depending upon the type of oil, there were changes to the hydration of various hydration phases (C₃S, C₃A and C₂S). As a result, there were changes to the compressive strength and setting time. Incorporating saline water with mortar accelerated the reactions. Consequently, high early heat of hydration resulted in reduced setting time and high early strength compared with control. The degree of impact depended on the type of salt ions and additional levels in water. The substitution of sand with synthetic drill cuttings (SDC) in mortar mixes can increase and accelerate the hydration reaction. However, it is found to reduce the compressive strengths of mortar. This could be attributed mainly to the contrasting impacts between the ingredients of SDC. This study utilised cement-based mortars containing oily materials. Up to 10 % of the fine aggregates mass were found to decrease the mortar compressive strength by almost 64 ± 11 %. However, the mixes exhibited different results in compressive strength based on the oil type used. Incorporating saline water enhanced the strength development at the early stage but reduced the strength at the later stage by up to 38%. However, the level of strength reduction was based on the type and addition of the level of salt ions in the water. Additionally, the compressive strength of the mortar containing a higher content of SDC (25%) significantly reduced by up to 50% at 28 days in comparison to the control mix. However, since the compressive strength covered a wide range of values, various feasible end-use scenarios for petroleum contaminated mortar exist. These results indicate that cement-based solidification/stabilisation can be an effective technology for this kind of…

▼ The rate of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is growing at an alarming rate, especially in countries where markets are saturated with huge quantities of new electronic goods. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a substantial portion of the value contained in waste from WEEE although they are only 6% of the total weight. It is reported that WEEE is currently the fastest growing waste stream in South Africa as the general population’s access to electronic goods in the last decade has increased, especially access to mobile phones. PCBs are found in any piece of electrical or electronic equipment and consist of various metals including precious metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag) and palladium (Pd). It is reported that gold has the highest economic incentive at 15,200 $ per ton of PCBs. The rapid introduction of new and advanced technology into mobile phones has caused mobile phones to have a relatively short life span, 1 to 2 years to be exact. Mobile phones printed circuit boards (MPPCBs) have more Au content compared to computer circuit boards. They contain 350 g/ton Au whereas computer (PC) PCBs contains 250 g/ton. This research project will recover gold from waste mobile phones PCBs pregnant ammonia thiosulphate leach solution using copper cementation. The cementation process is preferred to all the other technologies of metals extraction from solution due to ultrahigh purity metals that can be obtained and to the less consumption of materials and energy. Electronic parts on the PCBs were manually removed using pliers and screwdrivers. PCBs were then cut to smaller pieces of about 2 x 2 m. The pieces were crushed and milled respectively. Some of the particles were recycled back to the crusher to get finer particles. The particles were separated to particles of sizes between 0 and 1350 μm using a shaker. The comminuted fractions of the PCBs were then used in the leaching step. Batch cementation experiments were performed by bubbling N2 in glass reaction vessel with a working volume of 0.5 L. The reactor was connected to a circulating water bath for temperature control. The recovery percentage of gold at various temperatures, agitation speeds and different amounts of copper powder used, was determined while pH was monitored. The temperature was varied at 30 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C and the agitation speeds at 300 RPM and 900 RPM. Copper powder was added at 0.5 g/L, 1 g/L, and 1.5 g/L. Gold concentrations were measured by atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) analyses of the copper powder after cementation (precipitates) were used to determine the surface morphology and to evaluate the quantitative aspect of the precipitate. It was found that the recovery of gold from ammonia thiosulphate leach solution was greatly affected by agitation speed. At an agitation speed of 900 rpm, 40 °C and 0.5 g of Copper powder, 96% of the gold was recovered from the leach solution. The cementation rate increased as temperature was elevated… Advisors/Committee Members: Aziz, M (advisor), Ojumu, T.V., Prof (advisor).

As waste is separated at the source, the success of the Swedish recycling system largely depends on an active participation of households. However, especially young people were found to not consistently follow their local recycling schemes. A recent and promising approach to tackle such suboptimal household recycling behaviour (HRB) is the use of persuasive technology. To understand and further its context-specific potential, this research aims to explore the key elements of persuasive technology which aspires to promote sustainable household recycling behaviour among adults in Sweden. The chosen methodology is research through design. Based on the results of a literature review and online survey among target users (N=50), a mobile phone application was designed in an iterative manner. Through these activities, the following key elements were established: (1) easy access to information about optimal household recycling behaviour, (2) employment of several motivational strategies, (3) recognition of differences between local recycling schemes, (4) regard of users as equals and (5) use of a readily accessible technology channel. The impact of these elements depends on the users’ ability to carry out the target behaviour and therefore on a well-functioning recycling system. The technological format of persuasive technology interventions was found to spark the target users’ curiosity. Using this as a ‘carrot’, a well-designed content is argued to encourage repeated use and a reflection process to help break unsustainable household recycling habits.

Eftersom avfall separeras vid dess källa, beror Sveriges återvinningssystems framgång i stor utsträckning på aktivt deltagande hushåll. Studier har visat att särskilt unga inte följer lokala återvinningsrutiner på ett konsekvent sätt. Ett nytt och lovande tillvägagångssätt för att hantera detta suboptimala hushållsåtervinningsbeteende (English: household recycling behaviour (HRB)) är användningen av övertygande teknik. Syftet med denna studie är att utforska de viktigaste delarna av övertygande teknik som strävar till att främja ett hållbart hushållsåtervinningsbeteende hos vuxna i Sverige. Den valda metodiken är forskningsdriven design. Baserat på resultat från en litteraturstudie samt en online enkätundersökning fokuserad på målgruppen unga (N=50), designades en mobilapplikation genom ett iterativt tillvägagångssätt. Studien identifierade följande nyckelelement för en övertygande design i domänen: (1) Lättillgänglig information angående optimalt hushållsåtervinningsbeteende, (2) Användning av flera motivationsstrategier, (3) Identifiering av skillnader mellan lokala återvinningsrutiner, (4) Betrakta användare som jämställda och (5) Användning av lättillgänglig teknikkanal. Effekterna av dessa element är beroende av att användarna även har möjlighet att utföra den önskade sopsorteringen, och därför på ett välfungerande återvinningssystem. Designlösningen att använda sig av övertygande teknik i form av en app visade sig väcka målanvändarnas nyfikenhet. Studien…

V zadnjih desetletjih je zaradi vse višjega življenjskega standarda ter globalne rasti prebivalstva, močno narastla tudi količina proizvedenih in uporabljenih tekstilnih materialov. Posledično se je povečala tudi količina odpadnega tekstila, upravičeno pa lahko sklepamo, da bo le-ta v prihodnjih letih le še naraščala. Po ocenah strokovnjakov naj bi na odlagališčih odpadkov končalo kar 70 % odpadnih tekstilnih materialov, vsi ti nepredelani odpadki pa predstavljajo ogromen neuporabljen vir sekundarnih surovin in negativni ogljični odtis za okolje. V magistrski nalogi smo se lotili raziskovanja možnosti kemijskega recikliranja tekstilnega materiala bombažnega, volnenega in poliestrnega izvora, oziroma tekstilnih mešanic omenjenih komponent. Odločili smo se za izbiro kemikalij in pogojev, s katerimi bi dosegli čim višjo učinkovitost, hkrati pa bi bil postopek še vedno čim bolj ekološko in ekonomsko sprejemljiv. Razgradnjo naravnih vlaken (bombaža in volne) smo tako izvajali z uporabo H3PO4 (fosforjeve (V) kisline). Pri tem smo razmišljali tudi o nadaljnji uporabi produkta, ki bi ga še posebej zaradi prisotnosti fosforjevih ionov lahko uporabili v pridelavi umetnih gnojil. Za razgradnjo poliestrnega materiala smo uporabili proces nevtralne hidrolize pri dveh različnih razmerjih med poliestrom in vodo. Pri tem smo dosegli depolimerizacijo poliestra (PET) do osnovnih gradnikov: tereftalne kisline (TK) in etilen glikola (EG). Izvedbi reakcije razgradnje eno-komponentnih materialov je sledilo ločevanje dvo-komponentnega materiala, ki je bil sestavljen iz kombinacije bombaža in poliestra oziroma volne in poliestra. Razgradnjo naravnih vlaken ter ločevanje tekstilnih komponent smo izvajali v steklenem reaktorju, medtem ko smo za nevtralno hidrolizo poliestra uporabili posebej v ta namen izdelan visokotlačni in visokotemperaturni reaktor. Na podlagi raziskave smo ugotovili, da lahko z uporabo H3PO4 kisline uspešno razgradimo naravna vlakna, kot sta bombaž in volna, največji vpliv na izkoristek reakcije pa imata izbrana koncentracija kisline in reakcijski čas. Podobno smo ugotovili tudi pri eksperimentih ločevanja mešanic omenjenih naravnih vlaken s poliestrom, v katerih je poliestrni material ostal kemijsko nespremenjen. Na osnovi rezultatov nevtralne hidrolize smo ugotovili, da je mogoče PET zgolj s pomočjo vode, povišane temperature in tlaka depolimerizirati do osnovnih enot. Po prečiščenju trdega reakcijskega produkta smo pridobili tereftalno kislino (TA) visoke čistosti. Ugotovili smo, da na izkoristek nevtralne hidrolize vplivata tako čas reakcije, kot tudi razmerje med PET materialom in vodo, ki posledično vpliva tudi na delovni tlak v sistemu.

Due to higher living standards and global population growth in recent decades, the quantity of produced and used textile materials has grown significantly . Consequently, the amount of waste textiles has also increased, and can be reasonably inferred that in the coming years the later will continue to rise. According to experts, today 70 % of waste textile materials ends up…

▼ Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive dicarbonyl compound mainly formed during glucose and fructose metabolism. Diabetic patients have increased plasma levels of MG. Our laboratory has shown that treatment with MG induces insulin resistance and type II diabetes in male Sprague-Dawley rats. However, the increases in endogenous MG level attained in different organs and its contribution to the pathogenesis of diabetes following the administration of either high glucose or high fructose diet have not been addressed. The present study aims to investigate whether the harmful effects induced by increased consumption of glucose and/or fructose is linked to increased MG generation. In vitro studies have suggested that L-arginine is an effective MG scavenger. Accordingly, another goal is to determine whether L-arginine pretreatment would scavenge MG under in vivo setting and reduce the harmful effects of hyperglycemia. MG and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were determined in plasma and urine and in different organs of male Sprague-Dawley rats after 12 weeks of treatment with either high fructose or high glucose diet. GSH plays an important role in the degradation of MG and bears an inverse relationship with the levels of MG. The key results obtained suggest that both diets significantly increased blood pressure and plasma MG levels. A high fructose but not a high glucose diet, increased the plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides levels and total cholesterol/HDL ratio in parallel with the increases in MG and GSH levels in the liver. Increased MG levels seen in both aorta and mesenteric artery induced by high glucose or fructose diet was attenuated by pretreatment with L-arginine. These findings suggest that elevated MG level induced by treatment with high carbohydrate diets in both conduit (aorta) and resistance type (mesneteric artery) vessels may be linked to endothelial dysfunction seen in hyerglycemic/diabetic states. High glucose but not high fructose diet significantly increased MG levels in the pancreas. This observation is consistent with the well-known glucotoxicity caused by hyperglycemia in the pancreas. Taken together, these data provide the first evidence that elevated MG levels in certain organs/tissues following consumption of high fructose and/or glucose diet(s) may play a critical role in contributing to the metabolic abnormalities and the endothelial dysfunction that precedes the onset of macro and microvascular complications in either hyperglycemic and/or type II diabetic states. Interestingly, quenching of elevated MG levels in tissues by pretreamtent with L-arginine overcomes MG-induced vascular damage and endothelial dysfunction caused by high fructose and high glucose diet regimens.

A geração de resíduos, em geral, pode trazer diversos problemas ao meio ambiente em decorrência de seu descarte inadequado, tornando necessária a busca por métodos alternativos para o manuseio, tratamento e disposição final dos mesmos. A Política Nacional Brasileira de Resíduos Sólidos de 2010 estabelece que os resíduos sólidos gerados em território brasileiro, de qualquer natureza, devem ser, nos processos geradores, reduzidos, tratados e reutilizados dentro do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável. Estima-se que o Brasil produza, anualmente, 30.000 toneladas de isoladores elétricos de porcelana para abastecer sua rede elétrica, com uma geração de resíduos da ordem de 10% do total produzido. Diante deste cenário, a busca por alternativas para utilização de resíduos de isoladores elétricos de porcelana em novos produtos, tem despertado o interesse acadêmico e tecnológico. Neste estudo, resíduos de isoladores elétricos de porcelana (RIP) foram cominuídos em dimensões compatíveis para a aplicação em concretos permeáveis e foram caracterizados por análise física (granulométrica, índice de forma, absorção de água, massa específica). A partir da caracterização do RIP, foi proposta uma matriz experimental para a avaliação de concretos permeáveis, incorporando 50 e 100% em massa de RIP em substituição aos agregados graúdos. As propriedades de resistência mecânica sob compressão, sob tração na flexão, e o módulo de elasticidade das proporções com essas incorporações foram comparadas às de um concreto referência. Os resultados de resistência mecânica sob compressão para os concretos permeáveis propostos foram inferiores ao referência 21, e 24% respectivamente para 50 e 100% em massa de RIP, sob tração na flexão os resultados foram inferiores 38 e 46,5% respectivamente para 50 e 100% em massa de RIP, o módulo de elasticidade foi inferior ao referência 6,4% respectivamente para 50% em massa de RIP e superior 3,13% respectivamente para 100% em massa de RIP. Os resultados de resistência mecânica sob compressão, sob tração na flexão e o módulo de elasticidade para os concretos permeáveis 50 e 100% em massa de RIP encontram-se dentro dos valores relatados na literatura para concretos permeáveis. Os resultados de índice de vazios dos concretos permeáveis, referência, 50% em massa de RIP e 100% em massa de RIP ficaram numa faixa de 12,5 – 18,2% e os resultados do coeficiente de permeabilidade para os concretos permeáveis referência, 50% em massa de RIP e 100% em massa de RIP ficaram numa faixa de 0,05 a 0,2 cm∙s-1 na condição amostra seca e 0,14 a 0,15 cm∙s-1 na condição amostra saturada, contudo encontram-se dentro dos valores relatados na literatura para concretos permeáveis. Os resultados demonstram que é possível utilizar resíduos de isoladores elétricos de porcelana em substituição a agregados graúdos, permitindo incorporações de até 100% de RIP em concreto permeável.

▼ This thesis explores the social and environmental information disclosure practices of shipping companies, with specific reference to how they account for the lifecycle of ships under their control. This thesis sheds light on the working conditions, violations of human rights, and ecological damage within the ship-breaking yards of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The thesis has two interrelated sections. The first section explores the social and environmental disclosure practices of the top ten global shipping companies for a particular year. The second section explores the disclosure practices of some of the identified shipping companies that supplied their ships for dismantling to the ship yards of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Both sections utilise annual report content analysis. For the purposes of measurement, an index called â€˜Ship recycling related information disclosure indexâ€™ (SRIDI) has been used and the unit of analysis is the frequency of disclosures. The thesis also developed an â€˜accountability modelâ€™ to evaluate the accountability demonstrated by the shipping companies. The thesis finds that the extent of disclosures of social and environmental information, including ship recycle-related information by the global top ten shipping companies, is relatively high for some of the organisations. However, the disclosures made by the identified shipping companies that are alleged to supply the end-of-life ships to Bangladesh seem to be lower than the global top ten shipping companies. The thesis finds no information from either the global shipping companies or from the identified shipping companies annual report that specifically states where the ships actually go at the end of their lifecycle. This implies that the shipping companies avoid mentioning the final destination for their end-of-life ships to avoid potential criticism for dumping them in the ship-breaking yards of developing countries, an act which might negatively impact their reputation as well as â€˜brandsâ€™. This also implies that although shipping companies that allegedly supply their end-of-life ships to Bangladesh should be accountable for their actions. However this does not appear to be the case. This thesis used a normative theoretical perspective and applied â€˜accountability modelâ€™ to analyse the findings. The first part of the thesis was accepted as a paper in the AFAANZ conference 2012 held in Melbourne and was presented in a concurrent session by the researcher.

Using Samoa as a case study, we hypothesise that distributed recycling combined with 3D printing offers an opportunity to re-purpose and add new value to this difficult waste stream. It is also an opportunity to engage diverse local communities in Samoa by combining notions of participatory design, maker-spaces and ‘wikis’ of parts with traditional Samoan social concepts such as ‘Fa’a Samoa’, or ‘the Samoan way’ and sense of community. The project seeks to explore creative and innovative solutions to re-purposing plastic waste via a range of design research methods. Field work in Samoa has established the scope of the issue through interviews with different stakeholders such as Government, waste management businesses, the arts and crafts community and education. The field work has also helped identify potential product areas and collaborative partners. The different types of plastic in the waste stream have been identified and material experiments such as plastic shredding and filament extrusion are underway using low cost open source processing equipment to transform plastic waste into usable 3D printing filament. From this filament, potential 3D printed end products are explored through a hands-on researching by making process. The experiments inform the design of workable, economically viable, socially empowering and sustainable scenarios for re-purposing and up-cycling plastic waste; printed in the form of useful and culturally meaningful 3D printed objects, artifacts and products.Applications range from creating greater awareness of the issue by way of tourism and the Samoan notion of ‘mea alofa’ or ‘gifting’, through to functional utensils and parts. It is an opportunity to expand Samoa’s traditional forms of craft into new self-sustaining communities, maker-spaces and small scale local industries. The outputs of the initial project are intended to provoke discussion and invite participation in the implementation of these different scenarios of production.

▼ The New York State Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act took effect on April 1st, 2011, requiring manufacturers of electronic equipment and retailers to accept back items for collection, handling and recycling. This law also requires manufacturers to educate consumers on their electronic waste acceptance programs. This thesis does not address so much the necessity of e-waste recycling, which has already been heavily documented, but rather the potential and limitations to the electronic waste recycling law in New York State as it applies to the city of New York, as the law is phased in from April 2011 to January 2015. Unlike some state electronic waste bills, the New York State law does not specify in any level of detail how the residential ban should be implemented at the local level, nor does it require municipalities to bear any onus for collection or public education. As an extended producer responsibility bill, the New York State law puts sole responsibility on the manufacturers to handle the collection and recycling or reuse of electronic waste, along with financing and implementing a campaign for public education. More critical is the nature of the law itself. Since manufacturer quotas in New York State are state wide with no geographical requirements, manufacturers have been able to meet their quotas by collecting in areas outside of New York City, where collection can be cheaper, more efficient and convenient. On the consumer end in New York City currently, the process to recycle electronic waste is non-systematic and ad-hoc. However, New York City is unique due to the large number of non-profit and community organizations that are actively involved in electronic waste collection. This thesis aims to address two primary research questions. First, what challenges may arise in the application of the New York State electronic waste recycling law at the local level in New York City? And second, how might New York City take advantage of existing community-based organizations with electronic waste recycling activities to more effectively collect and recycle electronic waste, as well as educate residents and businesses?

▼ This study sought to establish factors influencing recycling of solid waste in urban areas within Machakos County. The aims of the study were; to ascertain how technical factors influence recycling of solid waste in Machakos County, to determine how financial factors can affect recycling of solid waste in the Machakos County, examine the influence of stakeholder involvement on solid waste recycling in Machakos County. The target population for this study was Machakos county‟s employees in the solid waste management department, NEMA officials, public health officials and MOH. The study employed a descriptive survey design and interview guide to key informants and the target population was 122 individuals drawn from different sub-counties in Machakos County. A stratified sampling technique was used. It comprised of all the respondents who were targeted. There was collection of primary data using questionnaires. Analysis of the data collected from the pilot study done was analyzed using SPSS 21 and Microsoft Excel. The study found that financial factors played a role influencing recycling of solid waste in Machakos County. Technical factors such as lack of professional personnel and equipment had an association to recycling solid waste. Stakeholder involvement such as informal sector, community based organizations, donors and NGO‟s have an influence on recycling of solid waste. The researcher examined the data and demonstrated the results in tables. The recommendations in this research centered on factors influencing recycling of solid waste in Machakos County, Kenya were, strict enforcement of by-laws and policy, more budget allocation and proper waste allocation systems which are as follows: The County government should allocate enough budgets for provision of SWM services within the county. The county should facilitate proper waste management activities so as to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste in the county‟s environment. Additionally, the County should advocate for good recycling activities of the solid wastes to add value by converting the solid wastes to useful products. Besides, it should develop market for the solid waste materials by putting in place good policies for disposing the materials. The county should enforce regulations while at the same time promoting campaigns which will reduce disposal of solid waste in the county. It will be important to publicize training manuals, best practices and also provide useful technical and financial assistance which will encourage better solid waste recycling and reusing practices.

La pollution de l'environnement, sa remédiation et l'obtention de sources d'énergie plus propres et plus efficaces sont des problématiques difficiles auxquels les humains sont confrontés. Parmi les nombreux matériaux développés par les scientifiques, les polymères de coordination cristallins type MOFs sont de plus en plus développés dans plusieurs domaines, du fait de la facilité et la versatilité de leur synthèse. La recherche sur ces matériaux est récente, mais les possibilités qu’offrent ces matériaux pour différentes applications sont énormes.C'est dans ce cadre que nous avons travaillé sur la conception et la synthèse de différents MOF pour la récupération, le recyclage et/ou la dégradation de certains polluants. En utilisant différentes approches de synthèse, nous avons obtenu des matériaux efficaces pour les diffèrent applications ciblées de ces matériaux. Nous pensons que les MOF ont le potentiel pour solutionner certains problèmes cruciaux comme la décontamination de l'environnement.

The pollution of the environment, its remediation and to obtain a cleaner and more efficient energy sources are some of the most challenging topics that humans are now facing. Among the several materials that scientists have developed, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are gaining a lot of attention on several fields due to the easiness and the versatility in which these materials can be designed, synthesized and used. Even when research on these materials is still young, the possibilities that they offer are enormous.It is on this frame that our work group has worked on the design and the synthesis of different MOFs for the recovery, the recycling and/or the degradation of some pollutants of interest. By using different synthesis approaches we have tested the versatility in the synthesis and the possible applications of these materials. We believe that MOFs hold the potential to solve some crucial issues in the recovery of the environment.

▼

This study was conducted to evaluate if Polonite® could remove Phosphorus from Sandvik’s wastewater that naturally forms during steelmaking, and hence be proficiently used as a precursor of the neutralization process of said steel plant. Currently lime (CaO) is mixed with the wastewater which creates clean water and sediments, that later need to be landfilled. Due to the high Phosphorus content in the sediments these cannot be recycled back into the production, this result in a loss of important elements. The aim is therefore to remove the Phosphorus to a target level of 1-2 [mg/L]. In fact, the Phosphorus present in the wastewater drifts in the solid particles derived by the neutralization process, impairing their possible recirculation as slag builders. To evaluate the purifying abilities of Polonite® a batch test and a column test were conducted. During the column test measurements of pH and conductivity were made. To analyze the composition, Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) tests were performed. No clear correlation between the pH and the conductivity of the water could be established from the results. Overall the Polonite® removed high amount of Phosphorus from the wastewater. The target level of 1-2 [mg/L] Phosphorus was achieved in the batch test. Although, Polonite® also incidentally absorbed most of the Fluorine present in the wastewater making it a questionable choice for the process, as Fluorine is desirable in large quantities in the sediments if used as slag builders. As no ICP results were received from the column test only pH and conductivity are discussed.

Denna studie utfördes för att utvärdera om Polonite® kunde rena Fosfor från Sandvik’s avfallsvatten som naturligt uppkommer från stålprocesserna, och använda det som ett försteg i neutraliseringsprocessen. Idag blandas kalk (CaO) med avfallsvattnet vilket resulterar i rent vatten och sediment, dessa deponeras sedan. På grund av den höga halten Fosfor i sedimenten kan dessa inte återcirkuleras in i produktionen, detta leder till att viktiga ämnen går förlorade. Målet är därför att sänka halten Fosfor till en nivå på 1-2 [mg/L]. Fosfor i avfallsvattnet driver i de fasta partiklarna från neutraliseringsprocessen, vilket förhindrar möjligheterna att återanvända dem som slaggbildare. För att utvärdera Polonites® reningsförmåga gjordes ett kolumntest och ett skaktest. Under kolumntestet mättes pH och konduktivitet. För att analysera innehållet i vattnet gjordes ICP-tester på det renade vattnet. Inget tydligt samband mellan konduktiviteten och pH kunde fastställas från resultaten. Överlag hade Polonite® en hög grad av rening av Fosfor. Den givna mängden av Fosfor uppnåddes i skaktestet. Olyckligtvis hade Polonite® även en hög reningsgrad av Fluor som även fanns i avfallsvattnet, vilket gjorde Polonite® tvivelaktigt försteg i denna process, då Fluorrikt vatten är önskat för att kunna användas som slaggbildare. Då inga ICP-resultat har mottagits diskuteras enbart pH och konduktivitet för kolumntesterna.

▼ This thesis is composed of three life-cycle analysis (LCA) studies of manufacturing to determine cumulative energy demand (CED) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The methods proposed could reduce the environmental impact by reducing the CED in three manufacturing processes. First, industrial symbiosis is proposed and a LCA is performed on both conventional 1 GW-scaled hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)-based single junction and a-Si:H/microcrystalline-Si:H tandem cell solar PV manufacturing plants and such plants coupled to silane recycling plants. Using a recycling process that results in a silane loss of only 17 versus 85 percent, this results in a CED savings of 81,700 GJ and 290,000 GJ per year for single and tandem junction plants, respectively. This recycling process reduces the cost of raw silane by 68 percent, or approximately 22.6 and 79 million per year for a single and tandem 1 GW PV production facility, respectively. The results show environmental benefits of silane recycling centered around a-Si:H-based PV manufacturing plants. Second, an open-source self-replicating rapid prototype or 3-D printer, the RepRap, has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing of polymer-based products, using distributed manufacturing paradigm, which is further minimized by the use of PV and improvements in PV manufacturing. Using 3-D printers for manufacturing provides the ability to ultra-customize products and to change fill composition, which increases material efficiency. An LCA was performed on three polymer-based products to determine the CED and GHG from conventional large-scale production and are compared to experimental measurements on a RepRap producing identical products with ABS and PLA. The results of this LCA study indicate that the CED of manufacturing polymer products can possibly be reduced using distributed manufacturing with existing 3-D printers under 89% fill and reduced even further with a solar photovoltaic system. The results indicate that the ability of RepRaps to vary fill has the potential to diminish environmental impact on many products. Third, one additional way to improve the environmental performance of this distributed manufacturing system is to create the polymer filament feedstock for 3-D printers using post-consumer plastic bottles. An LCA was performed on the recycling of high density polyethylene (HDPE) using the RecycleBot. The results of the LCA showed that distributed recycling has a lower CED than the best-case scenario used for centralized recycling. If this process is applied to the HDPE currently recycled in the U.S., more than 100 million MJ of energy could be conserved per annum along with significant reductions in GHG. This presents a novel path to a future of distributed manufacturing suited for both the developed and developing world with reduced environmental impact. From improving manufacturing in the photovoltaic industry with the use of recycling to recycling and manufacturing… Advisors/Committee Members: Joshua Pearce.

▼ A key dimension to improving urban economic and environmental sustainability is the efficient use of resources through recycling. A thriving recycling system requires not only effective institutional policies and community-wide diversion efforts, but also a competent local and regional recycling industry. Although the recycling industry has traditionally been recognized as a local service and fringe industry, it has noticeably transformed into an integral segment of industrial production systems as manufacturers have increasingly begun to adopt the principle of extended producer responsibility. Despite such changes, urban and regional theory and planning research has largely disregarded the industrial aspect of recycling, contributing to the dearth of information about the organizational and spatial patterns of the recycling industry and the impact of the establishment of recycling systems on local and regional scales. Given the knowledge gap, this dissertation addresses two questions: 1) What is the logic of the industry organization and spatial pattern of recycling industry in different institutional contexts? and 2) How is the economic and environmental impact of recycling systems determined in cases of construction and demolition waste recycling and waste carpet recycling? To answer the first question, this research develops a theoretical model that explains how recycling industrial activities are spatially distributed in light of institutional and organizational theories. The theoretical model characterizes organizational decisions pertaining to recycling functions and suggests spatial patterns of recycling systems. With respect to the second question, this research constructs a regional environmental input-output model on the metropolitan scale. It estimates regionalized energy use coefficients and greenhouse gas emission coefficients using various sources of data mainly compiled from the Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey 2006, the State Energy Consumption Estimates, and the Commodity Flow Survey 2007. Based on regional input-output tables coupled with the regionalized environmental coefficients, this research quantifies, through simulations, the net economic and environmental impact of a localized construction and demolition waste recycling system in the San Francisco metropolitan area and regional carpet recycling systems in the Atlanta and Seattle metropolitan areas. Results of the simulations reveal that 1) the localized construction and demolition waste recycling system provides moderate economic benefits because of the limited job creation potential of mechanized recycling processes and yields relatively small environmental benefits with respect to the total weight processed; 2) wider adoption of the deconstruction technique expands job opportunities, increases energy savings, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions during the course of construction and demolition waste recycling; 3) regional-scale waste carpet recycling systems, in particular recycled nylon 6 production, create sizable… Advisors/Committee Members: Leigh, Nancey Green (Committee Chair), French, Steve (Committee Member), Guhathakurta, Subhro (Committee Member), Jackson, Randall (Committee Member), Realff, Matthew (Committee Member).

▼ Solar energy, as an emerging renewable clean energy, has been rapidly growing for 15 years all over the world and is expected to grow 15% annually until 2020. In 2015, at least 40 GW of Photovoltaic (PV) systems were installed, achieving 178GW current solar power installation worldwide. In the next five years, 540 GW cumulative capacities are expected to be installed worldwide and US contributed 6.5 GW PV installations in 2015. US electricity demand is expected to be dominated by solar power by 2050 or even earlier. The widespread deployment of PV will not only contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emission, but can also mitigate the worldwide fossil fuel depletion.As the number of PV systems increases, the mass of PV waste will increase as well, adding a new source to the existing waste stream. The amount of End-of-Life (EoL) PV will approach 13.4 million ton worldwide, including approximately 5.5 million ton located in the US by 2025. PV contains high value, toxic, and energy-intensive materials. In addition, the market price of some materials utilized in the thin-film and crystalline PV technologies has drastically increased in the recent years.There is a strong need of coordinating the information to optimize the reverse logistics planning in a photovoltaic (PV) recycling network in the U.S. Two major tasks are included: 1) locating PV Recycling Centers (PVRC); 2) allocating Transportation Companies (TC) shipping PV installation sites (PVIS) to PVRC. One contribution of this dissertation is to decide the optimal number, as well as the location of PVRC by minimizing the overall cost. Another contribution is to determine the optimal distribution scheme to minimize the transportation cost among TC, PVIS, and PVRC.In order to accomplish the two tasks, a mathematical modeling framework was developed to facilitate PV recycling in an economically and environmentally feasible manner. The framework included two mathematical models: 1) Multi-Facility Optimization Model; 2) Optimal Distribution Model. The multi-facility optimization model included the transportation module, the economic module, and the environmental module. The model identifies the geographical location of the prospective PVRCs by minimizing the total costs in different scenarios. While in the Optimal Distribution Model, a static and a dynamic optimization algorithm was applied for conducting the optimal solution accurately and efficiently.To show the efficacy of the proposed framework, case studies for recycling EoL PV in California were performed. Historical PV installation data in the region was utilized to gather information about the amount of the prospective end-of-life (EoL) PV waste generation in CA. In order to integrate the temporal and the spatial dispersion of PVISs in CA, a three-phase recycling plan was proposed. For well displaying the geographical results, Geographic Information System (GIS) was utilized to visualize the installation data, optimized location of the PVRCs, and the optimal distribution scheme. The proposed generic… Advisors/Committee Members: Choi, Jun-Ki (Advisor).

▼ The general aim of the present Thesis was the development, characterization or/and study of novel sensors and scavengers that could be potentially used in “smart” food packaging materials. The Thesis is divided in two main sectors. In the first one, which constituted research activities of the Research Project “Nanobarrier”, we focused on the development/study of temperature sensors and O2/moisture scavengers and in the meticulous investigation of ascorbic acid, a basic component of the temperature sensors and O2/moisture scavengers. In order to ensure the consumers’ health safety in the case of a potential migration of the sensors/scavengers into food, migration release study was also performed. The easy oxidation of ascorbic acid, however, could lead to bottlenecks concerning its migration release study. To that end, several parameters were examined. In terms of the development of novel O2/moisture scavengers, iron(II) based oxygen/moisture scavengers were proposed and their oxygen/moisture scavenging ability was evaluated. Spin Crossover (SCO) phenomenon in 3d coordination complexes constitutes a long-lasting research topic of the Inorganic Chemistry. The exhibition of SCO phenomenon - the transition from the high spin (HS) state to the low spin (LS) state and vice versa - is accompanied by change on the Metal-Ligand distances, with subsequent colour change. The spin state of the complex can be conveniently monitored by variable-temperature χMT measurements. Since many other properties, except spin, change upon SCO, the spin state can be followed by other spectroscopic techniques, including variable-temperature Raman spectroscopy. The exploitation of Raman vibrational data on systems displaying the SCO phenomenon, for both structural characterization and more importantly for indirect monitoring of the SCO behaviour (HS species population as a function of external stimuli, i.e. pressure, temperature), is still lacking in the literature. The incorporation of spin-crossover (SCO) properties into Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) leads to an appealing subclass of multifunctional MOFs with potential applications in molecular sensing. The Hofmann type coordination polymers with chemical structure [Fe(pyrazine)M(CN)4] (M = Ni, Pt) are considered the most well-studied among the Hofmann coordination polymers. In the second part of this Thesis, the SCO behaviour of Fe(II) mononuclear and Fe(II)/3d Hofmann type coordination complexes/polymers was monitored in depth via Temperature Dependent Raman Spectroscopy. A relevant study of the coordination complex [Fe(abpt)2{N(CN)2}2] (abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) is described in terms of its temperature induced SCO ability. The sample was synthesized in a controllable manner that enables the formation of nanostructures with different average particle sizes. These samples are thoroughly characterized at molecular level by spectroscopic techniques (Raman, ATR, UV/VIS) and powder-XRD while their morphological characteristics are explored by scanning electron…

▼ Forensic investigators encountering remains deposited in an outdoor environment face many obstacles, including the scavenging, scattering, and reconcentration of remains by local vertebrate fauna. Scattering rates can vary considerably from region to region, and are highly dependent on the indigenous scavengers present (Haglund et al. 1988; Haglund et al. 1989; Mann et al. 1990; Morton and Lord 2006). In turn, scavenger activity is highly dependent on seasonal changes, rainfall, temperature fluctuations, and environmental stressors such as seasonal resource availability and dietary changes (Brown et al. 2006; Mann et al. 1990; O’Brien et al. 2007). A more thorough knowledge of the variation in scavenging and scattering patterns of the indigenous fauna in different geographical regions would produce a more productive search pattern and increase the recovery rate of scattered remains for those involved in outdoor crime scene investigations. The current study followed and documented the behavior of the indigenous carnivorous birds and mammals, as well as the scattering patterns of these species, in Eastern Massachusetts, using five porcine (Sus scrofa) carcasses. Carcasses were deposited in lightly wooded environments under different depositional settings and tracked by low-light wildlife video cameras and radio transmitter tags attached to the long bones of some of the limbs. The major scavengers of decomposing remains were documented, and the distance and direction of scattered skeletal elements were noted, as well as any secondary depositions. This research was conducted in three phases; the first was a preliminary observation of faunal wildlife and their distribution during the early summer of 2011, followed by one 14-week observation of porcine models during midsummer of 2011 and one 6-week observation of porcine models during late summer and early fall of 2011. Results show that seasonality greatly affects scavenging activity, as carrion deposited in the summer are primarily consumed by the indigenous invertebrate community, causing accelerated decomposition and vertebrate scavenger exclusion. Additionally, though marsupials and avian species fed the longest, coyotes (Canis latrans) produced the most destructive dispersal of carrion. Moreover, although coyotes disarticulated carcasses relatively nearby the original deposition, they sought out outdoor environments that are mostly devoid of human activity to feed upon disarticulated assemblages.

A pesquisa discute a influência das relações de pessoalidade (amizade, confiança e reciprocidade) na construção das desigualdades ou assimetrias existentes nas relações interinstitucionais estabelecidas entre quatro cooperativas de catadores de materiais recicláveis (enquanto sujeitos da economia solidária) e instituições ou atores dos setores público (Estado, Governos, Bancos Públicos, etc.), privado (Empresas, Indústrias, Firmas, etc.) e da sociedade civil organizada, também conhecida como terceiro setor (Ong,s, Organizações Internacionais, etc.) da região do Distrito Federal (Brasil). Procurou-se analisar as raízes históricas e as diversidades de concepções do conceito de economia solidária, orientadas por diferentes correntes teóricas, como as correntes marxista e maussiana. Abordou-se ainda a questão das pontualidades das políticas públicas para o setor, bem como a idéia da fragilidade sócio-econômica da economia solidária: ambas relacionadas à questão da interinstitucionalidade. Na abordagem empírica, utilizou-se a teoria das redes sociais como metodologia, assim como o método qualitativo e a pesquisa de campo para analisar o processo de construção das desigualdades verificadas nas relações interinstitucionais na economia solidária, de acordo com o recorte metodológico realizado. Por meio da pesquisa de campo realizada, constatou-se que a precariedade e informalidade ainda estão presentes na realidade das cooperativas de catadores estudadas. Em termos interinstitucionais, observou-se que aspectos como as diferentes flexibilidades existentes nas relações entre os diferentes atores envolvidos nessa trama (dinâmica sócio-econômica) variavam em função da natureza das esferas sociais das quais tais atores provinham (setores público, privado e terceiro setor). Dessa forma, o grau de influência das relações de pessoalidade nas desigualdades ou assimetrias variou de acordo com a natureza das relações (políticas, econômicas ou filantrópicas) envolvendo as cooperativas estudadas.

The research argues the influence of the relations of personality (friendship, confidence and reciprocity) in the construction of the inaqualities or asymmetries in the established inter-institutional relations between four cooperatives of workers who collect materials for recycling (collectors of materials for recycling) (while participants of the solidary economy) and institutions or Public actors of the sectors public (States, Governments, Banks, etc.), private (Companies, Industries, Firms, etc.) and of the organized civil society, also known as third sector (International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, NOG‟s, etc.) of the region of Distrito Federal (Brazil). It was looked to analyze the historical roots and the diversities of conceptions of the concept of solidary economy, guided for different theoretical chains, as marxists and maussianas chains. The question of the limitations of the public politics for the sector was still approached, as well as the idea of the social and economic fragilities of the solidary…

Depuis une quarantaine d’années, les déchets ménagers et leur gestion sont assimilés à un enjeu écologique global. Alors que se popularisent les discours défendant une conception durable du développement, nos poubelles se multiplient. Qu’aspirons-nous à préserver lorsque, l’enjeu planétaire invoqué, un gouffre intermédiaire se dessine et nous invite à interroger ce lien communément admis entre déchets et pratiques de protection de l’environnement. Notre thèse consiste à affirmer que, sous couvert de leur « environnementalisation », et malgré l’inflation du temps et de l’espace qui leur sont consacrés, les déchets restent marqués par l’oubli des enjeux sociaux, techniques, matériels qui les caractérisent. Cet aveuglement, individuel et collectif, neutralise toute possibilité de penser le déchet comme indice : il voile sa fonction mémorielle et le condamne à n’être appréhendé que comme ce qui doit disparaître, que comme quantité de matière à contrôler, à éliminer. Le déchet durable est l’oxymore qui vise à problématiser cette multiplicité des modes de présence du déchet aujourd’hui. S’inspirant des figures du chiffonnier ou de l’archéologue, notre enquête socio-anthropologique s’applique à suivre ces déchets ménagers, depuis d’incertains océans de plastique jusqu’à quelques lombricomposteurs parisiens. A partir de cette confrontation à la matérialité, aux territoires et aux pratiques du déchu, il s’agit d’affirmer que là où la présence irrévocable des déchets est décrite comme un problème, la question de notre présence aux déchets se pose inévitablement.

Over the past forty years, household waste and its management have been assimilated to a global environmental issue. While sustainable development is becoming a pressing issue, the number of our garbage bins is increasing. So what is it that we aim to preserve when we are dutifully sorting out our garbage? Between the very local gesture of discarding and the global environmental issue, there is a tremendous gap. The link between everyday practices of waste and environmental issues is so underdetermined that it has to be analysed. The main claim of this dissertation is that despite a growing concern with environment and the increasing time and space devoted to waste management, we remain unaware of the social, technological and material issues at stake. Because of this individual and collective blindness waste is not seen as a clue: as its memorial function is neglected waste is still perceived as what has to disappear, as a material quantity that has to be controlled and eliminated. The en-durable waste is an oxymoron that leads to further investigate the multiple modes of presence of waste in today’s life.
