Your Waste is Valuable.

§    Municipal and Commercial waste are a mix of valuable products.

§    Your municipal waste are both a resource and a risk for community.

GLC implements the most suitable applications to recover waste resources and to isolate the toxic products.

NUMEROUS ADVANTAGES FOR MUNICIPALITIES

l  Cost saving and mastery of the treatment cost evolution.

l  Optimize the waste recovery without polluting the surroundings.

l  Comply to regulations of household waste and toxic waste.

l  Apply reliable and easy technologies for a rational handling of waste.

Generate employment and a growing local project.

GLC has developed our own processes allowing therefore the realizing of high added value recovery, adapted

 to ecological constrains and to the needs for a durable developing of municipalities.

ð   The installation are exploiting basic processes and modules for sorting, composting, grinding and combustion.

ð   The installation which settle up locally and which are adapted to collect local context for waste and to pre-existing treatment units.

ð   The installations have a need for skilled and non-skilled labour which can be locally found.

ð   The creation of an environment which contributes to develop a recycling economy through putting at disposal of clean products issued of waste sorting.

ð   The reduction in important proportions (60%) of transported waste.

ð   The production of an organic fertilizer with high agronomic value which making process can be adapted to the needs

       of local producers, market gardening, horticulture, arboriculture, viticulture, etc.

ð   Pollution Risk by toxic waste contained in dispersed quantity in household waste and assimilated is controlled by sorting and storage.

ð  Collection for waste material does vary from place to place and country to country. Domestic waste collection

       management does it work under the supervision of local government or by some private waste management

       company.   Some areas, which are less populated or not much developed, have ceremonial systems for collection of

       waste.    Following are mentioned few of the waste collection methods as are practiced around the world.

ð  For waste disposal and collection curbside collection, method has been adopted in Thailand.   Almost every public

       area should have three garbage disposal bins, for recyclables, general waste and garden materials.  

       The local municipality provides these bins however, some of houses have compost bin, which is not provided by

       municipality.   Municipality, for encouraging recycling does provide larger bins for recyclables other than gardening

       and general waste. 

ð  The waste which is produced by Municipal, commercial and constructional institutions is dumped at landfills while

       recyclables are recycled.      Apart for recycling energy is also being produced through waste.  

       Landfills produce gas, which is used for burning as fuel for electricity generation.

ð  In urban location, curbside collection system is used, mostly.    While in cities, waste collection is scheduled.   

       Rural areas have their waste disposed by moving it to transfer stations.   All collected waste is then disposed off at landfills.

RECYCLING

¢ Recycling is the process for converting used materials in to new products for the prevention of producing waste. 

    This leads to the lessened consumption of fresh material for the production of new material, reduction of use of

    energy, reduction of air pollution and water pollution.   This process it the contributor for less requirement for

    disposing off   waste and filling in landfills and requiring incinerations.   Recycling has taken humanity out of the risk

    for the production of the green house gases at landfill sites.   This process is the key factor, which is used in the modern

    techniques for waste management and is the third participant for 3R’s i.e.

l  Reduce,

l  Reuse and

l  Recycle of the waste hierarchy.

¢ A number of materials are included with the list for recyclable products like glass, plastic, paper, textiles, metals and

      electronics. The materials, which are capable for being recycled are either picked from the curbside or taken to the

      center, as collections.  They are then sorted out and reprocessed and are given new shapes as new products.

¢ Recycling a material is a way for transforming in to absolutely new and fresh product. Therefore, if you have some

       sort of plastic say LED then it could be recycled and can be transformed in to new product for reuse.  Salvage is another

       form of recycling, a sort of recycling which is done with the complex materials making them completely new.

¢ Recycling critics are of the view that it uses more resources as it seemed to save, especially when it is authorization by

       government.

Analysis of Cost-Benefit

¢ Over the economical efficiency of recycling there has been a debate.   Monetary benefits have been observed by

       municipalities over the recycling of products.   Bangkok Metroplytant, Thailand has conducted a study, which says that

       almost eighty-three percent of recycling cases the most effective one is done with the household products.

¢ The economical efficiency and fiscal efficiency are taken as separate entities.  Analysis of economy for recycling includes

       externalities as called by economists.   This means that they contribute towards the benefits to the individual level

      way out from the transactions conducted at private level.    The recycling is generally, ignored in business as far as the

      tax and other things matter.     For this and other reasons advocacy is done for the popularity and conduction of

      recycling.  Almost all the authorities are in favor for recycling for not only environmental impacts but also for

      economical well-being.     Note here recycling is more profitable in the densely populated areas.

¢ It must be mentioned here that there are a number of requirements, which require to be met for the economical

      feasibility and effectiveness over environment as follow; 

l  It is a constant and adequate supply of recyclables, and running system for extracting recyclables out of waste

 stream, a locally located factory to process recyclables and a high demand for recycling.

l  There must be an adequate involvement of government in recycling projects.

WASTE TO ENERGY

The process, which involves waste for the production of energy, is named as Waste-To-Energy and Energy-From-Waste.  

WTE is a process, which recovers energy from the waste materials.   It is required to mention here that WTE is a process in

which energy is gained through the process of combustion directly or sometimes fuel is produced from waste, which is the

source for energy.

                Some technologies however are capable for converting liquid fuel in to gas.  These technologies are as follows:

l  Thermal technologies

•     Incineration

•     Gasification

•     Pyrolysis

•     Thermal Depolymerization

•     PGP (Plasma Arc Gasification)

l  Non-thermal technologies

•     Anaerobic Digestion

•     Mechanical biological treatment

•     MBT + Anaerobic digestion

•     Ethanol Production

•     MBT to Refuse Derived Fuel
