Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential for energy savings because the laundry industry consumes a lot of energy and water. If the laundry industries are not controlled, it will cause serious environmental and energy problems. The audit activity was divided into three stages. Pre-audit stage, the auditors were divided into groups with clear details of tasks and responsibilities, starting with conducting energy audits on the floor, analyzing statistical data, and process flow. Site audit stage; conduct an audit on the floor from the beginning to the end of the process, then collecting and confirming the statistical data for energy and production. Post-audit stage, complete the audit report that will be submitted or presented to the laundry management, which consists of; audit findings with loss or savings analysis, accompanied by recommendations for further improvement. The results show that there are many savings opportunities, especially by overcoming the energy wasted in the production process. Improvements can be made by overcoming energy waste and controlling energy consumption and production more efficiently, implementing renewable energy technology such as solar dryer and hybrid photovoltaic and thermal (PVT) collector, and then considering industrial revolution 4.0 with IoT and ICT.

Abstract:
BackgroundOperating rooms contribute between 20% to 70% of hospital waste. This study aimed to evaluate the waste burden of neurointerventional procedures performed in a radiology department, identify areas for waste reduction, and motivate new greening initiatives.MethodsWe performed a waste audit of 17 neurointerventional procedures at a tertiary-referral center over a 3-month period. Waste was categorized into five streams: general waste, clinical waste, recyclable plastic, recyclable paper, and sharps. Our radiology department started recycling soft plastics from 13 December 2019. Hence, an additional recyclable soft plastic waste stream was added from this time point. The weight of each waste stream was measured using a digital weighing scale.ResultsWe measured the waste from seven cerebral digital subtraction angiograms (DSA), six mechanical thrombectomies (MT), two aneurysm-coiling procedures, one coiling with tumour embolization, and one dural arteriovenous fistula embolization procedure. In total, the 17 procedures generated 135.3 kg of waste: 85.5 kg (63.2%) clinical waste, 28.0 kg (20.7%) general waste, 14.7 kg (10.9%) recyclable paper, 3.5 kg (2.6%) recyclable plastic, 2.2 kg (1.6%) recyclable soft plastic, and 1.4 kg (1.0%) of sharps. An average of 8 kg of waste was generated per case. Coiling cases produced the greatest waste burden (13.1 kg), followed by embolization (10.3 kg), MT (8.8 kg), and DSA procedures (5.1 kg).ConclusionNeurointerventional procedures generate a substantial amount of waste, an average of 8 kg per case. Targeted initiatives such as engaging with suppliers to revise procedure packs and reduce packaging, digitizing paper instructions, opening devices only when necessary, implementing additional recycling programs, and appropriate waste segregation have the potential to reduce the environmental impact of our specialty.

Abstract:
The issue of sustainability has long been the subject of interest in architecture engineering and the construction sector. All three aspects of sustainability—economic, environmental, and social—can be affected through appropriate construction waste management. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the largest worldwide waste streams, therefore, it is given great attention by all stakeholders (investors, contractors, authorities, etc.). Research studies show that one of the main barriers to insufficient CDW recovery is inadequate policies and legal frameworks to manage CDW. It is also one of European Union’s (EU) environmental priorities. The aim of the article was to confirm the economic potential of construction and demolition waste audit processing through a case study. A pre-demolition waste audit was processed for an unused shopping center building in the town Snina in Slovakia. Subsequently, a comparison of economic parameters (waste disposal costs and transport costs) of the recommended CDW management was performed. This comparison confirmed the economic benefits of environmentally friendly construction waste management methods according to the waste audit results, which would also increase the sustainability of construction projects. Additionally, the cost parameters of selected waste disposal methods could be another dimension of building information modeling.

Abstract:
According to the normal regulation and procedure of cleaner production, pre-clean audit is carried out in a pharmaceutical factory. After establishing an audit group, propagandas and mobilizations were conducted and investigations on site were performed. Twenty pieces of no or low cost solutions which involved control optimization, waste material recycling, renewal and maintenance of equipment, and enhancement of staff performance and management, et al. were propounded and adopted in the processes. As a result, some economic benefits were attained and the discharge capacity of waste water was reduced. Moreover, the key audit units and problems to be solved were clarified. This pre-audit work laid a sound foundation for the next audit stage in this factory.

Abstract:
Purpose: At Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHCO), there are approximately 40 000 inpatient anti-infective orders every year resulting over 100 000 dispenses. Significant quantities of anti-infectives are wasted, incurring roughly $100 000 in waste annually. Identifying areas for improvement will result in cost savings and ameliorate the impact of drug shortages. Summary: This descriptive report discusses the reasons for anti-infective waste at a free-standing, quaternary-care, pediatric hospital. The anti-infectives with the highest cost in waste ($) included meropenem ($38 084), micafungin ($21 690), amphotericin B liposome ($15 913). An internal audit of CHCO anti-infective waste revealed that drugs are wasted for the following reasons: patient discharge, medication order discontinuation or change, and misplaced doses. Conclusion: The CHCO Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and the Pharmacy have proposed 4 process improvement measures that will target anti-infective waste to reduce pharmaceutical waste and hospital costs. These measures may be applicable to other drug classes that likely suffer from a similar proportion of waste.

Abstract:
In order to answer modern challenges, which come from increasing needs in energy forprivate persons and industries as well as in order to decrease negative environmentalimpacts, caused by the processes of energy generation, it is important to constantly searchfor untapped energy efficiency potential. Moreover, nowadays, energy efficiency hasbecome one of the prerequisites of successful market competitiveness for any type ofindustry on local and global levels.An energy audit is an instrument, which can be used for understanding how the energy isused and identify possible energy-saving opportunities. It can be applied to a facility as awhole, as well as individually to equipment, system(s) or process(es). Moreover, energysaving measures can be both cross-cutting and sector-specific.The purpose of this project was to conduct a detailed energy audit of the Hagby wasterecycling plant and to identify beneficial energy saving opportunities from economic,environmental and social perspectives.In the frames of a preliminary energy audit 10 focus areas for further analysis wereidentified. For every area a baseline assessment of the current energy performance wasconducted, possible energy management opportunities were identified and evaluated aswell as results of each analysis were summarized. According to the results of the study, with the implementation of the suggestions, whichrequire no, low or medium investments it is possible to save 3,2% of the energy per year,which corresponds to 76 846 kWh. Energy consumption can further be decreased byimplementing measures, which need high initial financial investment. In that case totalsavings will be 468 846 kWh or 19,4% of total annual energy consumption. Additionalenergy might be saved just by introducing energy housekeeping measures. Finally,implementation of all the proposed EMO can bring 14,46 tons of 2 CO savings annually.Additional benefits of implementing the energy saving opportunities come from decreasingenvironmental impacts, improving working conditions of the plant employees and higherenergy security at the plant.The results of the energy audit can be a solid base for establishing an energy managementprogram at the plant, which will include performance targets, required resources and aclear procedure of realization of improvements. However, since some of the calculations inthe current study are based on various assumptions, after the company forms the energymanagement program, it is necessary to invite experts from industry in order to giveaccurate calculations for each of the focus areas.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ecosystems and natural water sources are constantly under threat from pollutants and all efforts should be made to minimise polluting factors. In the last decade growing concern has been expressed with regard to the environmental threat posed by wastewater produced by wineries and distilleries. Research into winery wastewater commenced in the early nineties mainly in Australia and France. These investigations characterised winery wastewater, indicating a large diversity in quality and quantity between wastewaters emanating from wineries. Owed to changes in South African legislation, in conjunction with an augmented environmental awareness, the need for an environmental assessment of wineries became apparent. In South Africa, research of this nature had not yet been conducted. Previous research on winery wastewater treatment employed mostly biological technologies, with success but also shortfalls. In South Africa the majority of wineries are located in the Western Cape Province, several within the same water catchment area. Wineries may produce approximately 1 to 10 litres of wastewater per litre of wine produced, which are turbid and acidic and typically contain high levels of organic compounds (thus oxygen deficient), and suspended material. Usually these wastewaters are irrigated onto land, in close proximity to natural water resources. The pollution of water tables and down-stream water sources may occur. The quantification, qualification and treatment of this type of wastewater are addressed in this study. Winery wastewater produced from the predominantly red wine producing Rupert and Rothschild Vignerons, served as case study for a two-year wastewater audit strategy. The most common analyses performed on winery wastewater include the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), pH and turbidity. A thorough analysis in the form of a comprehensive audit was performed on the water and vinification processes. This allowed for an accurate determination of contamination sources and properties. The audit entailed a designed sampling protocol, the format of which was tailored as an initial environmental assessment for the development of an Environmental Management System (EMS) unique to Rupert and Rothschild Vignerons. The EMS includes projected future objectives for wastewater quality (COD, SS, pH, turbidity), as well as an environmental policy. In order to reach the proposed quality objectives, a suitable wastewater treatment system must be installed. The efficiency of the treatment system present at Rupert and Rothschild Vignerons was evaluated and piloted the investigation of physico-chemical treatment technologies. Research into the applicability of induced sedimentation (coagulation) and chemical oxidation (ozone) was the first of its kind for winery wastewater as substrate, and provided an interesting dimension in the sense of pragmatic and economic feasibility. Dissolved and suspended particles present in winery wastewater do not settle by gravity alone, thus requiring sedimentation agents (coagulants). Benchscale experiments were conducted employing four types of pre-polymerised metal salt coagulants (polyaluminium chloride). Successful sedimentation of turbidity inducing compounds (up to 98 %) and suspended solid fractions (up to 92%) was achieved. These coagulants are highly suitable for the treatment of winery wastewater since the investigation showed that they are effective over a broad pH and dosage range. In addition, rapid sedimentation rates were observed, favouring thickener design economy. Ozone is a potent oxidising agent, and has been reported to increase the biodegradability of dissolved organic compounds and result in the decolouring of wastewaters. Ozonation is highly pH dependent, with hydroxyl radical activity dominating at alkaline pH. In the majority of gas-liquid contacting systems, the kinetics of the heterogeneous reaction is not limited by the chemical reaction rate, but by the transport of ozone to the liquid phase. To compensate, the ozone concentration in the gas phase is increased. Coupled to the primary investigation on the applicability of ozone treatment for winery wastewater, thus emerged a secondary investigation into an enhanced mass transfer system, realised by the use of impinging stream technology. The ozone transfer in a conventional bubble-column was compared to that of an impinging-stream jet-reactor. The latter significantly improved the ozone transfer to the winery wastewater, resulting in the rate-limiting step being the chemical reaction rate. Ozonation resulted in the increased biodegradability of the winery wastewater, and complete colour and odour elimination. Concerning jet-reactors, the principal importance lies in the substantial reduction in the initial ozone concentration requirement, thereby rendering the process more economically feasible. Following the investigation of the wastewater dynamics, the determination of eco-toxicology during irrigation should be conducted in future. When considering induced sedimentation, further studies should be directed towards ascertaining the most economic yet efficient dosage of the coagulant. Similarly, a study concerning the economic viability of ozone efficiency should be realised in terms of the energy requirements for both ozone generation and the operation of jet-reactors. Although the jet reactor poses a benefit for enhanced mass transfer, the essential criterion concerning residence time in the reactor must be addressed for positive results. Since no single solution exists for the treatment of winery wastewaters, the application of the considered technology must be carefully selected and incorporated in a treatment design; the two foremost criteria for selection being efficiency and economy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ekologiese stelsels en natuurlike waterbronne word gedurig bedreig deur besoedeling, dus moet ten aile tye gepoog word om besoedeling te minimiseer of te voorkom. Gedurende die laaste dekade is al hoe meer kommer uitgespreek oor die besoedeling van afloop water afkomstig van wyn en spiritualiee-vervaardiging. Navorsing aangaande wynafloopwater het ontstaan in die vroee negentigs, hoofsaaklik in Australie en Frankryk. Hierdie navorsing het gelei tot die karakterisering van wynafloopwater, en die uiteenlopendheid van hierdie water aangaande die kwaliteit en kwantiteit tussen kelders, is aangetoon. As gevolg van veranderinge in die SuidAfrikaanse wetgewing, asook 'n groeiende bewuswording van omgewingsake, het die noodsaaklikheid van omgewings impak-studies vir wynkelders na vore getree. Tot op hede is navorsing van hierdie aard nog nie in Suid Afrika gedoen nie. Vorige navorsing op die behandeling van wynafloopwater het meestal biologiese tegnologiee behels, met 'n mate van sukses maar ook met tekortkominge. Die meederheid wynkelders in Suid Afrika is in die Wes-Kaap gelee, baie binne dieselfde opvanggebied. Wynkelders kan tussen 1 tot 10 liter afloop water produseer per liter wyn geproduseer. Hierdie afloop het tipies 'n hoe konsentrasie organiese stowwe (is dus arm aan suurstof), is troebel en suur, en bevat gesuspendeerde materiaal. Gewoonlik word die wynafloop water besproei in die nabyheid van natuurlike waterbronne. Die besoedeling van watertafels en waterbronne kan dus plaasvind. Die kwantifisering, kwalifisering en behandeling van wynafloopwater word ondersoek in hierdie tesis. Die wynafloopwater van die hoofsaaklik rooiwyn produserende Rupert en Rothschild Vignerons, het gedien as proefstudie tydens 'n twee-jaar wynafloopwateroudit. 'n Deeglike analise in die formaat van 'n veelomvattende oudit is uitgevoer op die wynmaakproses en die waterafvoerstrome. 'n Akkurate bepaling van die oorsprong van waterkontaminasie, asook die eienskappe daarvan is bewerkstellig. Die oudit behels 'n spesifiek ontwerpte monsternemingprotokol, waarvan die formaat geformuleer is om te dien as 'n beginpunt vir die ontwikkeling van 'n Omgewingsbestuurstelsel (08S), uniek vir Rupert en Rothschild Vignerons. Hierdie 08S sluit toekomstige doelstellings vir die kwaliteit (chemiese suurstofbehoefte, gesuspendeerde vaste stowwe, pH, turbiditeit) van wynafloopwater in, asook 'n omgewingsbeleid. Die installering van 'n waterbehandelingsisteem moet geskied om te voldoen aan hierdie voorgestelde doelstellings. Die effektiwiteit van die huidige behandeling sisteem teenwoordig by Rupert en Rothschild Vignerons is geevalueer en het gelei tot navorsing oor fisieschemiese behandelingstegnologiee. Navorsing aangaande die toepassing van geinduseerde sedimentasie (koagulasie) en chemiese oksidasie (osoon), is vir die eerste keer toegepas op wynafloopwater, en het interessante gevolge in 'n pragmatiese en ekonomiese sin. Opgelosde en gesuspendeerde partikels teenwoordig in wynafloopwater sak nie onder normale gravitasie uit nie, en dus word die toediening van sedimentasie-induserende middels benodig. Eksperimente is in die laboratorium uitgevoer met vier verskillende gepolimeriseerde metaalsoutkoagulante (poli-aluminiumchloriedes). Dit het gelei tot die effektiewe sedimentering van stowwe wat troebelheid (turbiditeit) veroorsaak (tot 98 %) en ook gesuspendeerde stowwe (tot 92 %). Dit is gevind dat hierdie tipe koagulante hoogs geskik is vir die behandeling van wynafloop water, aangesien hulle effektief is by 'n wye pH- en doseringsreeks. Die uitsaktempo is vinnig, wat dus die ontwerp van 'n uitsaktenk (verdikker) ekonomies maak. Osoon is 'n sterk oksideermiddel, terwyl talle verslae aandui dat dit die biologiese ontbinding van opgelosde stowwe verhoog en die ontkleuring van afloopwaters tot. gevolg het. Osonering is pH afhanklik; by alkaliese pH oorheers die werking van hidroksielradikale. In die meerderheid gasvloeistofkontaksisteme word die kinetika van die heterogene chemiese reaksie nie beperk deur die intrinsieke reaksietempo nie, maar deur die vervoer van osoon na die vloeistoffase. Om te kompenseer hiervoor, word die osoon konsentrasie in die gasfase verhoog. Gekoppel aan die primere ondersoek aangaande die toepasbaarheid van osoonbehandeling op wynafloopwater, het 'n tweede ondersoek onstaan aangaande verhoogde massa-oordragssisteme deur die gebruik van hoeintensiteit spuitreaktore. Die osoonoordrag in konvensionele borrelkolomme is vergelyk met die van 'n hoe intensiteit spuitreaktor. Laasgenoemde het die osoonoordrag na die wynafloopwater aansienlik verhoog, met die gevolg dat die chemiese reaksie die beperking op die reaksie tempo geplaas het. Osonering het die biodegradasie van die wynafloop water verhoog, asook die kleur en reuk verwyder. By die spuit-reaktor Ie die belangrikheid daarin by die aansienlike veriaging in die aanvanklike behoefte aan osoonkonsentrasie, derhalwe is hierdie oordragsisteem meer ekonomies. Na afloop van die ondersoek op die dinamika van wynafloopwater, moet die ekotoksisiteit gedurende besproeiing bepaal word vir toekomstige doeleindes. Indien ge"induseerde sedimentasie verlang word, kan verdere studie gedoen word om die mees ekonomiese dosis van die koagulant te bepaal. Ooreenstemmend, moet die ekonomiese lewensvatbaarheid van die osoon effektiwiteit bepaal word ten opsigte van die energiebehoefte van beide die osoongenerasie en die werking van die hoe-intensiteit spuitreaktor. Alhoewel die spuitreaktor verhoogde massa-oordrag bewerkstellig, moet die effek van die residensietyd in die reaktor inag geneem word word ten einde positiewe resultate te verkry. Geen enkele oplossing bestaan vir die behandeling van wynafloop water nie, derhalwe moet die toepassing van die beoogde sisteem versigtig gekies word en ingesluit word in die ontwerp van 'n behandelingsisteem; die twee vernaamste maatstawwe is ondermeer effektiwiteit en ekonomiese aspekte.

The current legislation requires the State Audit Courts to ensure the healthy environment, so one of the mechanisms that the Amazonas State Court of Auditors - ECA/AM can be used is the Environmental Audit. The overall objective of the research is to evaluate the Environmental Audits Indicators of Municipal Solid Waste, applied by the ECA/AM in the years 2010 and 2014 in Manaus, by comparing the structural problems and environmental management identified by examination with the Master Plan indicators solid waste of Manaus and indicators of sustainability for MSW management in environmental / ecological dimension of the scientific literature to see if the audit reports fairly present the problems of environmental management of solid waste in the city of Manaus. As for the procedures it is classified as a documentary and bibliographical research. Made use of public documents published on the Internet by the ECA/AM and Environmental audit reports carried out. It identified the Environmental Audit indicators used by the ECA/AM, by reviewing the scientific literature, audit reports of the ECA/AM. The audit of the ECA found environmental risk. It found the record that the waters of the stream of Matrinxã from its entrance on the outskirts of the ACM and the groundwater in wells closest to the landfill, are compromised. Contamination of water resources surrounding the ACM are from environmental liabilities arising from the unlawful disposal of solid waste in the former "dump" for over 20 years, linked to inadequate implementation. We also found that the acceleration of the effluents of the output process of . slurry ponds because of rainwater and entrained soil from the erosion in the surrounding embankments research proved the reasonableness of audit reports when they reveal the environmental management problems of solid waste from the city of Manaus in the period 2010 and 2014.
A legislação vigente obriga aos Tribunais de Contas Estaduais a garantirem o meio ambiente saudável, assim um dos mecanismos que o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Amazonas -TCE/AM, pode utilizar-se é a Auditoria Ambiental. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é Avaliar os Indicadores de Auditorias Ambientais de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos, aplicadas pelo TCE/AM nos anos de 2010 a 2014 em Manaus, mediante a comparação dos problemas estruturais ede gestão ambiental identificados pelo exame com os indicadores do Plano Diretor de Resíduos Sólidos de Manaus e Indicadores de sustentabilidade para a gestão de RSU na dimensão ambiental/ecológica da literatura científica para comprovar se os relatóriosde Auditoria apresentam razoavelmente os problemas de gestão ambiental dos resíduos sólidos do Município de Manaus.Quanto aos procedimentos é classificada como uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Fez uso de documentos públicos publicados na internetpelo TCE/AM e relatórios de Auditorias Ambientais realizadas.Identificou-se os indicadores de Auditoria Ambiental utilizados pelo TCE/AM, por meio da revisão da literatura científica, relatórios de auditorias do TCE/AM. A Auditoria do TCE encontrou situações de risco ambiental. Constatou-se o registro de que as águas do igarapé do Matrinxã, a partir de sua entrada nos limites do ACM, bem como às águas subterrâneas nos poços mais próximos ao Aterro, estão comprometidas. A contaminação dos recursos hídricosno entorno do ACM são provenientes do passivo ambiental relativo à deposição irregular de resíduos sólidos no antigo “lixão" por mais de 20 anos, atrelado à operacionalização inadequada. Também constatou-se a aceleração do processo de saída dos efluentes das lagoas de chorume em virtude das águas pluviais e de solo arrastado, proveniente das erosões nos taludes do entorno. A pesquisa comprovou a razoabilidade dos relatórios de Auditoria quando revelam os problemas de gestão ambiental dos resíduos sólidos do Município de Manaus no período 2010 a 2014.

Abstract:
Since 1994, there have been sweeping changes made to South African policy and legislation, including environmental rights for all people, environmental protection and the consideration of sustainability in all activities. A national policy for medical waste management is being developed and guidelines for the South African Veterinary Council are currently being revised. By auditing contemporary veterinary waste management in one of South Africa's largest cities, this study sought to provide appropriate input into these initiatives. As a study area, the Durban Unicity provided the opportunity to audit a large population of veterinary clinics within a relatively short distance of each other arid also the opportunity to ascertain whether waste management practices were dependent on the socio-economic status of the clinics catchment area. A pilot study was used to inform the design of a questionnaire, which was then administered to thirty-two clinics sampled to represent a range in size of clinic, predominant type of patient treated and catchment socio-economic status. Another questionnaire was administered to four waste disposal companies and one veterinary diagnostics laboratory that removed waste for disposal from veterinary practices. The main findings suggest that there is a health risk to staff and the public, due to the incorrect separation, storage, handling and disposal of sharps, anatomical, contaminated domestic and infectious material. Staff at 6.3% of clinics sampled are not provided with any safety equipment. Most veterinarians (63%) as well as two of the five waste disposal companies audited were not aware of their responsibilities in terms of waste management policy and legislation. Sixty nine percent of the practices sampled reported that employees have either never been trained or have not received training in waste management in the past five years. Domestic waste contaminated with other potentially hazardous waste forms 12% of the total waste stream reported by practices. Even though the results indicate that a, few veterinary practices are mismanaging their waste this has the potential negative impact on staff, the public and the environment. The findings of the study would suggest a need for well communicated, enforceable guidelines outlining sustainable veterinary waste management for practices and waste disposal companies. The study highlights the similarities between veterinary and medical waste and the need to consider this in planning an effective waste management strategy. It also provides guidelines for a sustainable approach to veterinary waste management.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses three peculiar challenges in the solid waste management system of developing countries, namely: the chronic lack of reliable data for planning purposes, the absence of participatory engagement strategies in data gathering for wider ownership and usage, and the lack of monitoring of the climate change burden of existing waste disposal practices. A team of researchers has collaborated with system managers and a responsible philanthropic organization to engage key stakeholders to address these gaps in a sustainable manner. The strategy deployed has been to work in a participatory and evidenced-based frame to solicit support, enhance capacities, empower each other to understand the problems and find for ourselves the practical routes by which solid waste data gaps can be closed in the greater Accra region of Ghana. Stakeholders have participated in a comprehensive waste audit and landfill emission monitoring exercise to develop a baseline, and have used local resources and ideas to recommend steps to sustain reliable data flows and the development of a climate action plan for purposes of modernization. The methodological processes and research outcomes suggest that structural collaboration between researchers and system stakeholders is necessary to break the vicious circle of chronic data gaps and substitute virtuous circles of reliable data for planning purposes.

Abstract:
In response to government and public pressures, the healthcare industry has in the past few years directed a significant effort toward the proper and safe management of its medical waste streams. Medical waste is classified as a biohazardous waste, which according to a study published by the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (1990), may result in human infection and transfer of disease. This includes injury and infection with the Hepatitis B Virus (HVB) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), by janitorial and laundry workers, nurses, emergency medical personnel, and refuse workers who may come into contact with medical waste. In a recent survey conducted in the United States and Japan, and reported by the World Heath Organization (WHO) (1994), it was found that injuries by sharps constitute about 1% to 2% per annum for nurses and maintenance workers and 18% per annum for outside waste management workers. In Japan, the survey indicated that injuries by sharps constitute about 67% for in-hospital waste handlers and 44% for outside waste management workers. In order to reduce the risks associated with medical waste, proper management mechanisms should be adopted by healthcare facilities to protect the health of the staff within the medical facility, waste collectors/workers, and the public once the waste has left the facility for final disposal. These mechanisms include waste identification, segregation, storage, and treatment. However, and as a first step in the implementation of a waste management system, the management of a medical facility should conduct an audit of the generated waste streams.

The case of Marks & Spencer illustrates how a company has used a sustainability scorecard that awards provisional, bronze, silver, and gold ratings to participating suppliers to promote its sustainability programme. The scores are based on environment, human resources and ethical trade, and lean manufacturing. Suppliers undertake self-assessments of the scorecard at least once a year, which are subject to audit and assurance. The programme has delivered substantial savings through waste reduction and environmental efficiency amounting to over £600 million since 2007.

Abstract:
During 1990-2020, the global auditing/accounting and management consulting industry sectors experienced significant structural changes which have had un-even effects among large, medium and small auditing firms. The first section of this chapter summarizes the structural changes. The second section summarizes the antitrust problems. The third section discusses some of the climate-change and environmental pollution problems that are significantly affected by regulation of accounting firms and consulting firms; and introduces new solutions. In many countries, accounting firms have the primary responsibility for auditing firms' compliance with mechanisms such as emissions credits, environmental/sustainability accounting and compliance with environmental regulations; and consulting firms (by advising boards-of-directors and senior executives) informally and substantially influence firms' policies and procedures pertaining to waste/pollution and climate-change. The topics of the three sections (structural change, antitrust and the auditing/consulting firms' role in external audits and strategy pertaining to pollution, climate change and waste-management) are linked and or can have symbiotic effects on each other.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates how do-it-yourself (DIY) cultures in New York City and Berlin make sound and music with “zombie media,” or physical materials rescued from obsolescence that are recycled, repurposed, and reanimated. In situating DIY repurposing practices within a context of conspicuous production, or the tendency to obsess over constant invention and fabrication, it explores zombie media as experimental instrument building, sound art, and multimedia art. Through solo tinkering, group workshops, concerts, and exhibits, participants employ the DIY ethos present in underground and experimental music and art scenes, as well as maker and hacker cultures, to explore the aesthetic, material, and cultural value of electronics at various life stages and afterlives. Some of their tools and techniques of repurposing include: circuit bending, hardware hacking, scavenging electronic waste, and repairing broken audio equipment. Drawing on discussions of the zombie, ranging from its original Haitian context to its widespread use as a symbol for the anxieties of late capitalism and overconsumption, the chapter shows how participants engage infrastructures of waste through an ethic of aversion, cultivating sustainability skills that demonstrate “productive” uses of time and materials, but which nevertheless embody conspicuous production. The lure of zombie media is its reanimating power—a resourcefulness-through-resistance that operates via sincerely held beliefs about labor, frugality, and conserving material goods.

Abstract:
An energy audit can mean many things to many different people. For some, an energy audit or assessment means focusing on processes, operations, or equipment. This particular audit was directed toward the brick, refractory, and insulation, and its direct effect on the boiler’s efficiency, reliability, and energy fuel savings. Compared to most components found on a steam-generating boiler the cost of the materials and the installation of the refractory or brick are very small (less than 1% of the total cost of a new boiler). Yet, when properly designed, specified, stored, installed, cured or dried, refractory will save as much as five to seven percent in annual fuel cost (oil, gas, coal, refuse). Refractory and brick problems are found on most steam-generating boilers. These problems directly affected the amount of fuel used to meet heat and steam requirements. A boiler will always use more fuel if the brick and refractory are not installed correctly. After all the changes and corrections were made it was estimated that there will be an annual fuel savings of approximately $100,000 per year. This is why experts say, “Brick and refractory installed to save energy also saves money at a rate that is essential for efficient plant operation.”

Abstract:
In an effort to maximize steam turbine generator output, Montenay Power Corp. (MPC), operator of the Miami Dade County Resources Recovery Facility (DCRRF) undertook a systematic approach to analyze various turbine and steam cycle issues affecting performance. Several low cost methods were used to identify opportunities for increased megawatt generation. Shortfalls within the actual steam path through the turbine blading and internals were quantified with a steam path audit and computerized modeling of the blade path. This audit identified a shortfall of 2.5 megawatts (MW) from the original design and almost a full 1 MW gain through work done during the regular maintenance overhaul. The audit proved to be a valuable tool for making good economic decisions on what seal packing to replace/repair during the TG overhaul. The plant had previously explored re-blading options with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This brief study showed turbine internal changes would be capital intensive and carry megawatt improvement claims that were questionable due to various steam cycle issues. Four major operational parameters that affect turbine performance were examined and quantified. Deviations from design steam flow, throttle temperature, back pressure, and throttle pressure accounted for a loss of 24 megawatts (MW) in generation. The three low cost methods used to quantify these losses/opportunities were: 1) Acoustic valve leak detection surveys which identified not only low cost MW gain improvement opportunities but also safety and reliability issues; 2) Helium tracer gas leak detection, used to identify vacuum leaks and confirm the leaks were sealed properly; and 3) A complimentary steam trap survey, which also helped identify lost steam and potential risk to equipment. Preliminary measures were taken to improve steam throttle flow, throttle temperature, back pressure and throttle pressure with a net gain of 7 MW so far. This paper details the methods used and results of the optimization program thus far.

Abstract:
Waste heat recovery (WHR) has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of process industries such as in the oil and gas sector, and reduce their environmental impact. The design of an effective WHR strategy requires a comprehensive plant energy audit, but examples of such information are lacking in the published literature. In this paper a detailed energy audit is presented for a major natural gas (NG) processing facility in the Middle East, to identify sources of waste heat and evaluate their potential for on-site recovery. Waste heat sources are quantified and evaluated in terms of grade (i.e., temperature), rate, accessibility (i.e., proximity to potential on-site WHR applications), and impact of potential WHR on the performance and safety of existing facilities. Based on the audit undertaken, conceptual WHR strategies are proposed, focusing on utilities enhancement, i.e., process cooling/heating, electrical/mechanical power generation, and steam production. In addition, to permit the techno-economic feasibility evaluation of the proposed WHR strategies in modeling work undertaken in parallel with this study, the operating parameters of waste heat producing equipment are compiled, along with the cooling/heating loads and electric power/fuel consumption of WHR-enhanced processes. A total of 689 MW of waste heat is identified in the plant, which consists of 526 MW gas turbine (GT) and 56 MW gas generator exhaust gases, 10 MW flared gases, 5 MW excess process steam, 88 MW process gas air-cooler heat dissipation, 2 MW furnace exhaust gases, and 1 MW steam turbine outlet steam. Waste energy in the form of excess propane cooling capacity is also identified. The total amount of waste heat meeting the rate, grade, accessibility and minimal performance-and-safety-impact criteria defined for potential WHR in this study is of approximately 547 MW, most of which is produced by GTs. Only 174 MW of GT waste heat is presently re-utilized, in addition to excess propane cooling capacity. Novel absorption refrigeration-based WHR strategies are proposed to recover the available GT waste heat. These strategies were found to be thermodynamically and economically feasible in an accompanying study, and to lead to substantial energy and cost savings for the plant.
