Is it necessary to improve the waste management technique?

I believe that it is necessary to apply appropriate waste management techniques due to the need to develop a new green economy, ie to implement the principles of sustainable development. It is necessary to minimize and limit the negative effects of climate change, generated by the progressive greenhouse effect of the Earth, which is rapidly accelerating global warming.

Improvement of waste management techniques should be implemented through the increase of automation, computerization and robotization in the field of planning and logistics of this process.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Is it necessary to improve the waste management technique?

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations:

Should the development of industry be burdened with additional environmental taxes in order to finance the development of energy based on renewable energy sources and reclamation of a devastated natural environment?

In subsequent years, developed countries will be under pressure to increase spending on environment-friendly targets, including financing the development of power plants based on renewable energy sources, reclamation of devastated natural environment and reduction of emissions of environmentally harmful industrial waste.

On the other hand, the increase in fiscal burdens can be transformed in a short time into a decline in business investment and a decline in the country's economic growth. However, if enterprises switched their business concepts to the production of better-quality goods and characterized by a longer period of usefulness and functioning in the product and service life cycles, then it would be possible to reduce the use of resources and reduce the negative external effects of industrial development. In addition, the state from the collected additional pro-environmental taxes would provide public goods that would improve the level and living conditions of citizens, therefore there would be opportunities to better use and perhaps reduce spending on some other departments providing public goods such as public safety, administrative, health, etc. In the longer term, economic development would take place in a slightly different macroeconomic balance and with a slowdown in economic growth. However, this mentioned issue of exempting economic growth would no longer be negative.

In view of the above, I am asking you:

Which types of innovations will be most important in the 21st century?

There are many types of innovations emerging in research laboratories and research centers.

In recent years, developed economies have created many technological, process, product, service, marketing, ecological, material and other innovations.

However, which types of innovation will be most important in the 21st century? Will the emergence of new innovations be mainly determined intentionally by specific, pre-planned research projects in research laboratories equipped with modern technology?

Will the emergence of new innovations be determined by financial resources prepared for research and development?

Is it possible to accept arbitrarily that new innovations will be created in such fields as ecology, environmental protection, medicine, energy, construction, biotechnology, agriculture because these issues concern the key problems of the 21st century, i.e. shrinking traditional resources based on minerals of energy sources, the need to develop renewable energy sources, the need to raise agricultural production productivity in agriculture in the situation of shrinking arable land, environmental protection needs, reclamation of the environment devastated by industry, waste segregation, use of secondary raw materials, protection of shrinking drinking water, etc.

Can the process of generating the necessary new innovations be effectively controlled so that new technological solutions, innovative materials, substitutes for traditional raw materials, etc. are created?

And if it is possible, then another question arises: Which types of innovations will prove to be the most important to solve the most serious national and global problems of the 21st century?

As a result of the progressing greenhouse effect on Earth, will areas of the natural environment suitable for human life be reduced?

The warming climate of the Earth causes a multitude of secondary effects, usually adverse weather anomalies and climatic disasters.

As a result of these weather anomalies and climatic cataclysms, the area of the undesignated natural environment and areas developed by man for the needs of the development of civilization, including arable land areas in the field of crop production, may gradually diminish.

Every year, more and more cases of weather anomalies and climatic cataclysms are coming, which may confirm such a research thesis.

Currently (end of October / beginning of November 2018) numerous weather anomalies such as snowfall in Spain, floods in Italy, almost summer temperature in some places in Central and Eastern Europe are recorded in Europe. From year to year, more and more warm winters are recorded in many places around the globe. In addition, for several years, higher and higher annual average temperatures have been recorded. More and more areas in Africa are covered by droughts, lack of rainfall and higher heat temperatures. In some coastal locations, off the coast of the oceans, in America, in Southeast Asia, in Polynesia tornadoes appear more and more dramatic. However, in Alaska, Canada, Norway and other countries where there are glaciers in the mountains, there are fewer and fewer glaciers. In the 20th century, a significant part of these glaciers melted. does it mean that the greenhouse effect on Earth is progressing so fast and is it already an irreversible process?

In view of the above, I am asking you: Will the areas of natural environment suitable for human life decrease as a result of the progressing greenhouse effect on Earth?

Improving processes, waste segregation technology is a key problem that should also be studied scientifically. Research should create technological improvements and ecological innovations to also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is important because the warming of the Earth's climate is already recognized as an irrefutable fact by many scientific centers. It has also been shown that man is most responsible for this unfavorable warming of the Earth's climate.

I invite you to the discussion.

I strongly agree with the main assertions you have made, in particular the recovery of waste for the production of secondary raw materials. Not only does this provide decent materials for countless products directly at the doorstep of said country, but it also massively reduces the amount of land required for landfilling to store all of the alleged "waste", which has many linked benefits within itself such as reduced transportation emissions, minimised landfilling costs, as well as stopping destruction and violation of precious ecosystems.

I am no expert in any of these fields as I'm only a 3rd year energy and environmental engineering student, but I can clearly see that these are the areas of focus that will be crucial to act on in coming years as various resource supply becomes more restricted. I can also very much see the great benefits of auto-tinting and robotization of the segregation process as currently the issue is far too complex for efficient human processing.

I realise I haven't answered any of your question(s) in this comment so to somewhat correct that I'd to add that I believe a big step forward would be putting more pressure on companies and organisations to design products that have greater potential for recyclability. This will heavily influence the possibility of making all our waste 100% recyclable (I am aware that 100% would be quite impossible, but as close to this as humanly possible would satisfy me).

The above question inspired me to the following considerations:

What are the key determinants of the implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development according to the concept of green economy?

In my opinion, such factors as effective waste segregation, recycling, reduction of plastic packaging, development of renewable energy sources, electromobility in motorization, afforestation, architectural ecological innovations, etc. are one of the most important factors to enable real implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development based on a new, green economy.

Effective segregation of rubbish, recycling, reduction of plastic packaging is one of the most important factors for the implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development.

These are the necessary determinants of the real implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of green, new economics.

According to the findings of the last UN Climate Summit held in Katowice in December 2018, it is necessary to gradually withdraw from the production and use of plastic packaging, including plastic cutlery, straws, dishes and replace them with biodegradable, produced from some grains and vegetables.

Recently, the European Parliament voted for legal norms, with which this type of plastic packaging and plastic cutlery, straws and dishes will be withdrawn from 2021. This is one of the important activities in the directions of real implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development based on the concept of green, new economics. In addition, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of recycling and the reduction of toxic waste discharged into the environment.

For example, a cigarette butt discharged into the environment pollutes approx. 1000 liters of water. This is just an example suggesting the necessity to continue taking pro-ecological next steps. On the one hand, the role of the state and the media in the issue of pro-ecological education of the society is important. On the other hand, the industry that generates various types of waste, polluting the natural environment, the industry that produces non-degradable or non-biodegradable and toxic packaging and products that are currently not recyclable should be burdened with the costs of implementing new recycling technologies, reclamation of degraded natural environment and removal of toxic waste from this environment.

Only then will the economic pressure force the creation of new eco-innovations, the production of goods from biodegradable materials or materials that can be safely neutralized or burnt in garbage incinerators.

The electrical energy necessary to supply the aforementioned pro-ecological undertakings should come as far as possible from the development of renewable energy sources. Besides, it is necessary to develop electromobility in the automotive industry, etc. Only the synergy of these various pro-ecological undertakings will generate new categories of added value, which in the future will increase the economic efficiency of these processes.

Only this way will it be possible to implement real sustainable development based on the concept of a green, new economy.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: What are the key determinants of the implementation of sustainable pro-ecological development according to the concept of green economy?

The above question inspired me to the following considerations:

Are the biggest global problems of the future underestimated and ignored?

In my opinion, both unfavorable processes, ie the global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere will increase in the future. However, there is still some time to implement the necessary pro-ecological reforms to slow down these processes. It is estimated that there has been a decade of time to carry out the necessary pro-ecological investments, thanks to which it would be possible to implement sustainable pro-ecological development in the global economy. Hedgehogs do not take these actions in the next decade, then these unfavorable climate processes will accelerate in the future and become permanently irreversible. Then, at the end of the twenty-first century, there will be a global climate cataclysm that will threaten the life of all humanity and a large part of other life forms that inhabit the planet Earth. The problem is therefore serious and underestimated by politicians, entrepreneurs, industrialists and many other social groups. The problem of global warming and decreasing ozone layer in the atmosphere is too little publicized and the educated society is not educated enough.

In view of the above, the current question is: Are the biggest global problems of the future underestimated and ignored?

By strict enforcement

I believe that it is necessary to apply appropriate waste management techniques due to the need to develop a new green economy, ie to implement the principles of sustainable development. It is necessary to minimize and limit the negative effects of climate change, generated by the progressive greenhouse effect of the Earth, which is rapidly accelerating global warming.

Improvement of waste management techniques should be implemented through the increase of automation, computerization and robotization in the field of planning and logistics of this process.

For some time, specific waste segregation and recycling techniques have been carried out in many developed and developing countries.

However, in many cases it does not work perfectly, and due to the growing problem of growing landfills of unsorted and non-biodegradable waste, these techniques should be improved.

On the other hand, in many cases also the waste segregation quality control system also does not work properly.

In the light of the above, encouraging discussion, I turn to you with the following question: Do you know any methods, tools on how to improve the quality control system for waste segregation, which is the segregation of citizens?

I invite you to the discussion. Best wishes

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG The problem of effective waste segregation and management of waste management is particularly important in many developed and developing countries.

The topic is important because it largely concerns the issues of ecology, environmental protection and the possibility of implementation into national economies of sustainable development according to the concept of a new, green economy.

Do you agree with me on the matter?
