Environmental Sustainability Impacts of Solid Waste Management Practices in the Global South (2022, background): “On the other hand, a properly engineered facility for waste disposal can protect public health, preserve important environmental resources, prevent clogging of drainages, and prevent the migration of leachates to contaminate ground and surface water, farmlands, animals, and air from which they enter”
Conversion of organic material by black soldier fly larvae: establishing optimal feeding rates (2009, background): “Organic material can make up more than 50% of the total municipal waste production (e.g., Ojeda-Benitez et al. 2003, Henry et al. 2006, Sharholy et al. 2006).”
Where are the best opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the food system (including the food chain)? A comment (2012, background): “In Kenya and India the majority of municipal solid waste is disposed of in open landfill sites (Narayana, 2009; Henry et al., 2006).”
Systems approaches to integrated solid waste management in developing countries. (2013, background): “This kind of environmental degradation can also negatively impact the (sometimes fragile) economies of those countries that rely heavily on tourism (Henry et al., 2006).”
