Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to analyze citizen perceptions of composting and segregation in two case studies from Jakarta and Delhi. The framework incorporates primary and secondary data gathered via questionnaires, interviews, and data from the available literature. Binomial and multinomial logistic regression models are used to analyze residents' perceptions of composting and waste segregation. Therefore, four distinct models have been developed to investigate people's viewpoints to waste composting, segregation, and the incentives that can be offered to promote effective waste management. The most preferred incentives for segregation are the assurance that waste will not be blended following collection and the availability of nearby composting sites for composting. The primary sources of concern at the household and community levels of Jakarta are a lack of guarantees for proper waste management after collection and a lack of land for composting. It is necessary to improve waste management control and evaluation through training and reinforcing garbage collectors' commitment. The primary constraint is their exclusive focus on the absence of government amenities, indicating a limited understanding of municipal solid waste management at the individual and community stage. Additionally, based on the comparison of the two cases, decentralization should be acknowledged and strengthened.

In order to reduce NO emissions during composting, the effects of different nitrification inhibitors (NI), dicyandiamide (DCD) and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), on compost maturity, NO, and NH emissions were studied under continuous incremental addition. This study used pig manure and corn straw as composting materials, based on the total nitrogen (TN) content of the initial mixture, two treatments were set: DCD (2.5% in the early phase and 5.

This research determines the potential impact of reducing food waste on future energy consumption and pollutant emissions. The study uses system dynamics modelling to simulate the complex link between population, food demand, food waste output and their interactions with energy consumption in the food system and carbon dioxide (CO) emissions. Scenarios are developed by considering two elements: a reduction in food waste and an increase in energy output.

The accurate estimation of methane generation in landfills is crucial for effective greenhouse gas management and energy recovery, requiring site-specific assessments due to the inherent variability in waste composition and properties before and after disposal. This study investigates the uncertainties associated with methane generation predictions by employing a combination of stoichiometric methods, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) assays, and Bayesian inference. Fresh and aged (1-year-old and 5-year-old) samples collected in the tropical Saravan dump site in Gilan, Iran, were used to evaluate the waste's methane generation potential and degradation rate in the field.

Cigarette butts are a common form of litter that pose significant ecological risks due to their toxic components, which can accumulate in soils, impacting human health, plant growth, and soil-dwelling organisms. This study investigated the environmental implications of "light" cigarette butts, which, like regular ones, contain harmful chemicals that render them hazardous waste. The cellulose acetate filters are notably resistant to biodegradation, allowing them to persist in the environment and leach toxins.
