Abstract:
Construction waste especially material waste is one major concern for the construction projects and has important implications in terms of socioeconomic and environmental aspects for the country. Construction industry being largest consumer of raw materials derived from natural resources also produces high amount of material waste that negatively impacts the environment. The building industry alone in Malaysia has reportedly generated approximately 25,600 tonnes of construction and demolition wastes daily due to rapid development. Therefore, any means of reducing material waste will not only result in significant cost savings within the projects but also reducing the pressure on the landfills and ease environmental concerns dealing with such waste conversion and recycling; and reduction. This study examines the causes and prevention of material waste in the construction specifically the building industry through the principles of waste management available. Questionnaires survey is the main tool deployed for data collection. The average and relative index were used to analyse the various aspects of the data collected. Stages of works used for the study include the material handling and storage stage; procurement of material stage; usage and operation of the material stage; and the design and documentation stage. The results indicate that respondents are aware of the concept of waste management but lack of awareness on the availability of such guidelines. It is hopeful that this study can improve on waste management implementation in order to uptake the principle of reduce, recycle and reuse material waste so as to reduce construction costs, provide good savings to the end users and improve the level of productivity of the nation.

Abstract:
Management of post-production wood waste in the aspect of circular economy. Sustainable resource management involves turning waste into resources. The estimation of various waste streams and their potential use as secondary raw materials underlies the circular economy. The management of wood waste in terms of the Circular Economy should assume material use of this waste before energy use. One of the possibilities of material management of this waste is the use of biological treatment through composting. Input materials for the composting process should have technological and physical-chemical characteristics, respectively. The aim of this study was to characterize the wood raw material (wood waste as a by-product) and qualify it for the composting process on the basis of its composition. Based on the literature research, it was found that there is possibility of using these wastes for management through biological disposal. The obtained composts from wood waste can be used as a raw material to supply the soil with humic substances and mineral compounds.

Abstract:
Waste management is a new concept for most of the Asian countries including India. The lack of financial and technical resources and regulatory control for the management of hazardous waste in the past has led to the unscientific disposal of hazardous waste in India. Now a days urbanization not only concentrates waste but also raises generation rates. New and expensive technologies are being pushed to deal with our urban waste problem ignoring their environmental and social implications. Hazardous waste can be classified into solid, liquid, gases and sludge waste. There are various methods of disposal of waste management. Disposing the waste in a landfill involves burying the waste. In incineration the solid organic wastes are subjected to combustion so as to convert them into residue and gaseous products. In recycling, the collection and reuse of waste materials are done such as empty beverage containers. Biological reprocessing in which waste materials that are organic in nature such as plant material, food scraps can be recycled using biological compositing and digestion process to decompose the organic matter. Energy recovery as well as avoidance and reduction methods are also the other ways of disposal.

This paper reports the results of an extensive investigation on the waste management in Hong Kong abattoirs with the following objectives: (i) to identify the existing waste management practices in relation to sources and quantity of wastes generated, methods of storage and handling of wastes, any in-house treatment, and final disposal of wastes, (ii) to identify the problems of existing waste management practices, and (iii) to evaluate the future development. To obtain up-to-date data and reliable information, site visits were conducted and the management of the abattoirs were interviewed in detail about the operation and waste management practices. For each abattoir and one associated by-product plant, detailed material balances were established for liquid and solid wastes. Complete quantitative results on waste loads, water consumption and material/waste flows are presented. Operational problems regarding wastewater treatment, as well as waste reduction and potential for reuse or recycle of solid wastes are discussed in the context of Hong Kong. Finally, information on the proposed new slaughterhouse (design capacity 5000 pigs and 400 cattle daily) is provided which will include a novel underground wastewater treatment plant.

Abstract:
Abstract Medical waste is all waste material generated in health care facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices, dental practices, blood banks, and veterinary hospitals/ clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. Poor management of health care waste potentially exposes health care workers, waste handlers, patients and the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risks polluting the environment. It is essential that all medical waste materials have to be segregated at the point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safety.

Abstract:
In Ethiopia, the rapid expansion of the construction sector has resulted in the wastage of construction materials that negatively affect the environment, society, and the economy. The reason is inefficient waste management strategies practiced in construction projects. Hence, an adequate material waste management strategy is required. This study was an attempt to identify the key techniques that can help to minimize material wastage in building construction projects. Questionnaire surveys, interviews, and reviews of previous studies and related literature were employed in gathering the relevant data. Seventy of 85 questionnaires administered and distributed to contractors, consultants, and clients were returned. These data were analyzed using the relative importance index method. The results indicated that employing waste management officers for this purpose, using prefabricated or off-site production of components, appropriate on-site waste management, and incorporating a policy of material waste minimization plan were identified as key measures to minimize construction material wastes.

Abstract:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that deep geologic disposal is appropriate for three types of radioactive waste generated in the United States: spent fuel, high-level waste, and transuranic waste. Spent fuel is nuclear fuel that has been discharged from a reactor after irradiation. High-level waste (HLW) is the highly radioactive material that remains after the reprocessing of spent fuel to recover uranium or plutonium. Transuranic (TRU) waste is any waste material contaminated with more than 100 nCi/g of elements having atomic numbers greater than 92 and half-lives longer than 20 years. Spent fuel and HLW can result from either commercial or governmental activities, although no commercially generated spent fuel has been reprocessed since 1972. TRU waste results primarily from the design and manufacture of nuclear weapons, not from nuclear power plants.The physical characteristics of TRU waste differ substantially from those of spent fuel and HLW. This imposes different requirements on materials associated with containment and isolation, so TRU waste will be discussed separately from spent fuel and HLW Because all three are judged to be particularly dangerous to human beings and the environment, the EPA standard requires a demonstration of adequate 10,000-year performance of geologic repositories for these radioactive wastes. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for implementing the standard by designing, siting, and building the repositories.This article briefly describes TRU waste, HLW, and spent fuel and the two repositories currently planned by DOE. It con cludes by offering some observations on materials compatibility among waste, container materials, and host rock.

Abstract:
Material efficiency is a key solution to provide a reduction in the total environmental impact of global manufacturing, which contributes to avoid generating larger volumes of industrial waste, to reduce extracting and consuming ever more resources and to decrease energy demand and carbon emissions. However, the area of material efficiency in manufacturing has been under-researched and related knowledge is limited. The research objective of this thesis is to contribute to the existing body of knowledge regarding material efficiency in manufacturing - to increase understanding, describe the existing situation and develop support for improvement. This thesis focuses on value of process and residual materials in material efficiency: to increase homogenous quality of generated waste with higher segregation rate, decreasing the amount of material becoming waste and reduce total virgin raw material consumption without influencing the function and quality of a product or process. To achieve the objective, material efficiency strategies, existing state of material efficiency in manufacturing and barriers that avert higher material efficiency improvement have been investigated. The results are supported by four structured literature reviews and two [MW1] empirical multiple case studies at large global manufacturing companies in Sweden, mainly automotive. Empirical studies include observations, interviews, waste stream mapping, waste sorting analysis, environmental report reviews and walkthroughs in companies to determine the material efficiency and industrial waste management systems. The empirical results revealed that material efficiency improvement potential of further waste segregation to gain economic and environmental benefits is still high. Determining different waste segments and relative fractions along with calculating material efficiency performance measurements facilitate improvements in material efficiency. In addition to attempts for waste generation reduction, avoiding blending and correct segregation of different waste fractions is an essential step towards material efficiency. The next step is to improve the value of waste fractions i.e. having more specific cost-effective fractions. Waste Flow Mapping proves to be an effective practical tool to be utilized at manufacturing companies in order to check and explore the improvement opportunities. In addition, a number of barriers that hinder material efficiency was identified. The most influential material efficiency barriers are Budgetary, Information, Management and Employees. The majority of identified material efficiency barriers are internal, originate inside the company itself and are dependent upon the manufacturing companies’ characteristics. As a result, management and employees’ attitude, environmental knowledge and environmental motivation, as well as their internal communication and information sharing, and companies’ core value and vision are the enablers for material efficiency improvement.

Abstract:
While wastage of materials has become a serious problem requiring urgent attention in the Nigerian Construction Industry, cost overrun is a problem, which affects 90 percent of the completed projects in the world; the argument on how to reduce/eliminate cost overrun has been on-going for the past 70 years; as the on-site wastage of materials leads to increases in the final project cost. Studies from different parts of the world have shown that construction-material waste represents a relatively large percentage of the production costs. Consequently, as a result of low levels of awareness, the Nigerian construction industry pays little attention to the effects of generated material waste on cost overruns. Thus, this research aimed to investigate the relationship between material waste and cost overrun in the Nigerian construction industry. A comprehensive review of the related literature revealed that all material waste causes are related to cost overrun causes at both pre-contract and post-contract stages of a project; but not vice versa. The mixed method (quantitative and qualitative) approach that is rooted in the positivist paradigm was adopted for this study. Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria was the selected geographical scope of this research, out of which thirty-one (31) construction projects were purposeful selected (projects to the value of 100 million Rand/1.6 billion Naira and above).The research instrument was an interview guide used in conjunction with a tick box. Other sources of data included field investigation (measurement of onsite material waste) and the collection of archival records from bills of quantities, project records, and specifications. Analyses of the findings lead to the conclusion that a relationship exists between material waste and cost overrun; at the pre-contract and at the post-contract stages of a project. The implication is that an increase in material wastage on-site leads to a corresponding increase in the amount of cost overrun, regardless of the percentage allowance for material waste in the process of bill preparation. The study also concluded that the average percentage contribution of material waste to project-cost overruns is four (4) percent. Material-waste sources, causes, and control measures were found to have significant effects (very high, high, medium, low, and very low), in causing or minimising cost overruns at both pre-contract and post-contract stages of projects. The research has developed a conceptual model for the management of material waste and cost overruns in the construction industry based on the results and informed by the theoretical framework. The research has also developed a mathematical model for quantifying the amount of material waste to be generated by a project; as well as a mathematical equation for the effective management of material waste and cost overrun for projects. The study has achieved its aim of establishing an understanding of the issues leading to the relationship between material waste and cost overruns, as well as their management in the Nigerian construction industry. The study recommends that the management of material waste and cost overrun should be revised, based on the findings of this research and included as part of the procurement process. The mathematical models for quantification of onsite material waste, and the mathematical equation for managing material waste and cost overruns developed in the study, could be usefully adopted to improve management of material waste and cost overrun in the Nigerian construction industry.

Abstract:
Construction waste management is critical today. One of the most serious issues confronting the building industry is the scarcity of aggregate for the manufacturing of concrete. Wasted construction materials resulted in significant financial losses for builders, contractors, regional governments, and the country. Because the waste generated by demolition of structures is greater than the waste generated during development, there is a need for Construction and Demolition Management (C & D) In India, wastes, as opposed to Municipal Solid Wastes, is a relatively new topic. To begin with, there is no accurate estimate of the amount of waste produced in India. The main reason is that less focused on this issue. The proper utilization of building waste is a solution to the construction industry's rapid degradation of virgin raw materials. There is a lack of a regulatory framework and strict enforcement in this problem. This study contains specific recommendations for closing the loopholes in the problem. The current global status of building and demolition waste management is examined in this research, as well as the sustainable waste management hierarchy, to address the waste issue. Methods and various construction reuses are presented in this paper so that waste material created during demolition can be properly utilized. The importance of the reduce, reuse, and recycle (3R) concept for managing construction waste in India is highlighted in this research.

Abstract:
Food waste and fashion pollution are two of the significant global environmental issues throughout the recent past. In this research, it was investigated the feasibility of making a leather-like material from bread waste using biotechnology as the bridging mechanism. The waste bread collected from the supermarkets were used as the substrate to grow filamentous fungi species Rhizopus Delemar and Fusarium Venenatum. Tanning of fungal protein fibres was successfully performed using vegetable tanning, confirmed using FTIR and SEM images. Furthermore, glycerol and a biobased binder treatment was performed for the wet-laid fungal microfibre sheets produced. Overall, three potential materials were able to produce with tensile strengths ranging from 7.74 ± 0.55 MPa to 6.92 ± 0.51 MPa and the elongation% from 16.81 ± 1.61 to 4.82 ± 0.36. The binder treatment enhanced the hydrophobicity even after the glycerol treatment, an added functional advantage for retaining flexibility even after contact with moisture. The fungal functional material produced with bread waste can be tailored successfully into leather substitutes using an environmentally benign procedure.

Abstract:
La tesi aborda el metabolisme socioeconòmic de totes les Comunitats Autònomes (CCAA) espanyoles entre 1996 i 2010, adaptant les metodologies harmonitzades a nivell estatal per a la seva aplicació regional. Sent escassos els antecedents d'aquests càlculs, es plantegen una sèrie de reptes metodològics i conceptuals que cal adreçar per dur a terme la comptabilitat de fluxos materials a escales regionals. S'aborda en primer lloc l'elaboració d'una base de dades de fluxos materials i el càlcul dels principals indicadors d'extracció, comerç interregional i internacional, consum i productivitat en termes biofísics en el període estudiat, on el boom immobiliari i la posterior crisi provoquen dinàmiques molt marcades d'increment de l'extracció de recursos naturals i d'importacions internacionals. A més, es quantifica el volum de comerç biofísic entre CCAA desvetllant la rellevància del comerç de productes de construcció durant els anys de creixement econòmic i una gran disparitat en els valors dels indicadors principals al llarg de les CCAA. A continuació, es realitza un estudi més detallat de les dinàmiques del comerç per tipus de material i analitzant el mercat internacional i interregional per separat. Es troba una dependència absoluta de totes les CCAA del mercat exterior per metalls i combustibles fòssils i es modelitzen els principals rols comercials de les CCAA en el mercat internacional i interregional per a la biomassa i els minerals no metàl·lics. Malgrat algunes limitacions metodològiques, s'aconsegueix realitzar un perfil de les CCAA espanyoles pel que fa al seu paper en el desplaçament de càrregues ambientals mitjançant el comerç i es quantifica el pes dels minerals de construcció en aquests fenòmens. Destaca el rol de Madrid com a regió altament dependent per a tots els materials i per tant responsable d'una forta càrrega ambiental desplaçada a altres CCAA i altres països. Finalment, es realitza una anàlisi de la gestió de residus municipals de les CCAA espanyoles pel que fa al compliment dels objectius de reciclatge de la Unió Europea. Es troba, a l'igual que en el cas de l'extracció, el consum i el comerç, perfils molt diferents que desemboquen en resultats dispars pel que fa a la gestió de residus municipals. S'identifica la distància de les CCAA als objectius europeus i es plantegen els mínims que han de complir pel que fa a polítiques bàsiques de gestió de residus per aconseguir l'objectiu de reciclatge plantejat. En tot cas, totes les CCAA espanyoles estaven lluny de complir amb la normativa europea, i en particular s'incideix sobre la necessitat d'una política més eficaç de recollida de biorresidus, una coordinació de les eines fiscals i en particular dels impostos a l'abocament, i una disparitat pel que fa a tecnologies que fa imprescindible la seva normalització i la disseminació de les millors tecnologies disponibles per al conjunt del territori. En conjunt es conclou que el metabolisme de les CCAA espanyoles, tant pel costat de les entrades de materials com pel costat de la gestió de residus, presenta disparitats que apunten a una polarització de les càrregues ambientals derivades del procés econòmic. A més, es conclou que la manca de dades sobre variables bàsiques de metabolisme socioeconòmic, amb importància econòmica i ambiental, segueix sent un llast per a la investigació orientat a informar les polítiques públiques.

Se aborda en primer lugar la elaboración de una base de datos de flujos materiales y el cálculo de los principales indicadores de extracción, comercio interregional e internacional, consumo y productividad en términos biofísicos en el periodo estudiado, donde el boom inmobiliario y la posterior crisis provocan dinámicas muy marcadas de incremento de la extracción de recursos naturales y de importaciones internacionales. Además, se cuantifica el volumen del comercio biofísico entre CCAA desvelando la relevancia del comercio de productos de construcción durante los años de crecimiento económico y una gran disparidad en los valores de los indicadores principales a lo largo de las CCAA. A continuación, se realiza un estudio más detallado de las dinámicas del comercio por tipos de material y analizando el mercado internacional e interregional por separado. Se encuentra una dependencia absoluta de todas las CCAA del mercado exterior para metales y combustibles fósiles y se modelizan los principales roles comerciales de las CCAA en el mercado internacional e interregional para la biomasa y los minerales no metálicos. A pesar de algunas limitaciones metodológicas, se consigue realizar un perfil de la CCAA españolas en cuanto a su rol en el desplazamiento de cargas ambientales mediante el comercio y se cuantifica el peso de los minerales de construcción en estos fenómenos. Destaca el rol de Madrid como región altamente dependiente para todos los materiales y por tanto responsable de una fuerte carga ambiental desplazada a otras CCAA y otros países. Finalmente, se realiza un análisis de la gestión de residuos municipales de las CCAA españolas en cuanto al cumplimiento de los objetivos de reciclaje de la Unión Europea. Se encuentra, al igual que en el caso de la extracción, el consumo y el comercio, perfiles muy diferentes que desembocan en resultados dispares en cuanto a la gestión de residuos municipales. Se identifica la distancia de CCAA a los objetivos europeos y se plantean los mínimos que deberán cumplir en cuanto apolíticas básicas de gestión de residuos para conseguir el objetivo de reciclaje planteado. En todo caso, todas las CCAA españolas estaban lejos de cumplir con la normativa europea, y en particular se incide sobre la necesidad de una política más eficaz de recogida de biorresiduos, una coordinación de las herramientas fiscales y en particular de los impuestos al vertido, y una disparidad en cuanto a tecnologías que hace imprescindible su normalización y la diseminación de las mejores tecnologías disponibles para el conjunto del territorio. En conjunto se concluye que el metabolismo de las CCAA españolas, tanto por el lado de las entradas de materiales como por el lado de la gestión de residuos, presenta disparidades que apuntan a una polarización de las cargas ambientales derivadas del proceso económico. Además, se concluye que la falta de datos sobre variables básicas del metabolismo socioeconómico, con importancia económica y ambiental, sigue siendo un lastre para la investigación orientad a informar a las políticas públicas.
The thesis addresses the socioeconomic metabolism of the whole of the Spanish Autonomous Communities (AC) between 1996 and 2010, adapting the harmonized methodologies at the national level for their subnational application. Since the background of these calculations is scarce, a series of methodological and conceptual challenges are addressed to carry out material flow accounting at subnational scales. First, the elaboration of a database and the calculation of the main indicators of extraction, interregional and international trade, consumption and productivity in biophysical terms is addressed in the period studied. During this period, the housing bubble and the subsequent crisis caused very marked patterns of increased extraction of natural resources and international imports. In addition, the volume of biophysical trade between AC is quantified, revealing the relevance of trade of construction products during years of economic growth and a great disparity in the values of the main indicators across AC. Next, a more detailed study of trade patterns by types of material and analysing the international and interregional and international markets separately is developed. An absolute dependence on foreign metals and fossil fuels is identified and the main commercial roles of the AC in the international and interregional market for biomass and non-metallic minerals are modelled. Despite some methodological limitations, the commercial profile of the AC is calculated and their environmental burden shifting through trade including construction minerals is quantified. Madrid stands out as a highly dependent region for all materials and therefore responsible for a strong environmental burden shifting towards other AC and other countries. Finally, an analysis of the municipal waste management of the AC regarding the fulfilment of the European Union’s recycling targets is carried out. It is found that, as in the case of extraction, consumption and trade, very different management profiles exist, which leads to differing results in terms of municipal waste management. The distance to the target of the AC is identified and the minimum policies required for accomplishing the target are identified. In any case, all AC were far from complying with the European recycling targets. Some measures required to close this gap are a more efficient policy for the separate collection of bio-waste; a coordination of fiscal tools, particularly landfill taxes; and the standardization and the dissemination of the best available technologies. Overall, it is concluded that the socioeconomic metabolism of the AC, both regarding the input side and waste management, presents disparities that points to a polarisation of the environmental burdens derived from the economic process. In addition, it is concluded that the lack of data on basic variables of economic and environmental relevance jeopardises research aimed at informing public policies.

Abstract:
This paper explores techniques in sustainability metrics modeling and metrics-driven scenarios analysis to evaluate and improve process performance in sustainable waste management. The sustainability is measured along the triple bottom line. Model-based metrics for quantifying environmental impacts, societal implications, and economic profitability of material recovery processes are developed as functions of processing technology choices, key operating parameters, and material market conditions. Process scenarios are analyzed based on the metric models developed to provide a series of reference points for process performance improvement. The results have provided recyclers with a solid understanding of the factors affecting sustainability in waste management, and facilitated them to make and justify sustainability decisions in sustainable recovery of materials from industrial wastes.

Abstract:
Population growth, increasing prosperity and changing consumer habits globally are increasing demand for consumer electronics. Further to this, rapid changes in technology, falling prices, increased affordability and consumer appetite for new products have exacerbated e-waste management challenges and seen millions of tons of electronic devices become obsolete. This rapid literature review collates evidence from academic, policy focussed and grey literature on the technical aspects e-waste value chains. The report should be read in conjunction with two earlier reports on e-waste management1. E-waste is any electrical or electronic equipment, including all components, subassemblies and consumables, which are part of the equipment at the time the equipment becomes waste. The exact treatment of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) can vary enormously according to the category of WEEE and technology that is used. Electrical and electronic items contain a wide variety of materials. As a result of this complex mix of product types and materials, some of which are hazardous (including arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury and certain flame retardants) multiple approaches to WEEE are required, each with specific technical guidelines. This report is structured as follows: Section two provides an introduction to the technical aspects of e-waste management, including a reflection on the challenges and complexities of managing a range of product types involving a range of components and pollutants. Section three provides an annotated bibliography of key readings that discuss elements of the technical aspects of managing e-waste. This bibliography includes readings on national guidelines, training manuals and technical notes produced by the Basel convention and courses. WEEE recycling can be a complex and multifaced process. In order to manage e-waste effectively, the following must be in place Legislative and regulatory frameworks Waste Prevention and minimisation guidelines Identification of waste mechanisms Sampling, analysis and monitoring expertise Handling, collection, packaging, labelling, transportation and storage guidelines Environmentally sound disposal guidelines Management is further complicated by the speed of technological advance with technologies becoming redundant much sooner than initially planned. Case studies show that the average actual lifetimes of certain electronic products are at least 2.3 years shorter than either their designed or desired lifetimes.

Abstract:
A great deal of energy can be sourced both directly and indirectly from waste. For example, municipal waste with an energy content of around 60 petajoules is incinerated in Switzerland every year. The energy recovered directly from this waste covers around 4 % of the Swiss energy demand. However, the greatest potential offered by waste management lies in the recovery of secondary raw materials during the recycling process, thus indirectly avoiding the energy-intensive production of primary raw materials. In order to optimise the contribution to the energy turnaround made by waste management, as a first step, improvements need to be made with respect to the transparent documentation of material and cash flows, in particular. On the basis of this, prioritisation according to the energy efficiency of various recycling and disposal channels is required. Paper and cardboard as well as plastic have been identified as the waste fractions with the greatest potential for improvement. In the case of paper and cardboard, the large quantities involved result in considerable impact. With the exception of PET drinks bottles, plastic waste is often not separately collected and therefore offers substantial improvement potential. Significant optimisation potential has also been identified with regard to the energy efficiency of incineration plants. To allow municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants to use the heat they generate more effectively, however, consumers of the recovered steam and heat need to be located close by. A decisive success factor when transitioning towards an energy-efficient waste management system will be the cooperation between the many stakeholders of the federally organised sector. On the one hand, the sector needs to be increasingly organised along the value chains. On the other hand, however, there is also a need to utilise the freedom that comes with federal diversity in order to test different solutions.

Abstract:
As of 2017, 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic had been produced worldwide. Since about 40% is used in things that are thrown away relatively quickly (packaging and single use items), 6.4 billion metric tons had already become discarded materials needing to be managed. Only 9% of these discarded materials were recycled globally. The annual estimate of plastic entering our oceans globally is 5 to 13 million metric tons (MMT) per year. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has an extensive populated coast, 119,000 km of coastline and over 205 million people living within 50 km of that coastline. Waste management infrastructure is still under development in many countries. Economic growth without fully developed infrastructure can lead to increased plastic leakage. This report focuses on municipal solid waste as a source of plastic input into the environment in LAC. The reports estimates that total plastic waste available to enter the ocean in LAC in 2020 was 3.7 MMT . Under business-as-usual projections, the report anticipates that the regional quantity available to enter the oceans in 2030 will be 4.1 MMT and 4.4 MMT in 2050.
