WASTE MANANGEMENT

Disposal Prevention

HISTORY

The 1st ever incinerator was built in 1874.Incineration is a thermal waste treatment process involving combustion of organics in waste materials. Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. The flue gases must be filtered/cleaned of gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are discharged into the atmosphere.

LANDFILLS

• Disposal of waste in a landfill involves burying the waste and this remains a common practice in most countries. Landfills were often established in abandoned or unused quarries, mining voids or borrow pits.

INCINERATION

• Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials.

• Dioxins, Furans and PAH

FUTURE WASTE MANAGEMENT

• Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen (or any halogen). It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible.

SEWAGE(WATER MANAGEMENT)

• Treatment plants are built to treat household wastes. Underground pipes link the houses to the treatment plant

PREVENTION

• The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place.

• Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy- raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated and then transported to wherever it will be sold.

• As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment, and save money.

REDUCE AND REUSE• Buy used clothes to building materials at specialized reuse centres and

consignment shops. Often, used items are less expensive and just as good as new.

• Look for products that use less packaging. When manufacturers make their products with less packaging, they use less raw material. This reduces waste and costs. These extra savings can be passed along to the consumer.

• Buy reusable over disposable items. Look for items that can be reused; the little things can add up. For example, you can bring your own silverware and cup to work, rather than using disposable items.

• Maintain and repair products, like clothing, tires, and appliances, so that they won't have to be thrown out and replaced as frequently.

• Borrow, rent, or share items that are used infrequently, like party decorations, tools, or furniture.

RECYCLING

• Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials

PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED

• Dry Paper• Plastic• Glass• Aluminum• Electronics

DEFINITION

• Energy management includes planning and operation of energy production and energy consumption units.

• Objectives are resource conservation, climate protection and cost savings, while the users have permanent access to the energy they need.

ENERGY GENERATION

• Wave Energy• Solar Energy• Hydroelectric Energy• Waste Energy

Wave Energy

Solar energy

Future City Solar-Able to absorb moonlight (sunlight)-Able to store kinetic energy from rainwater

Hydroelectric Energy

Waste Energy

• Incineration

Pyrolysis

• Heating in absence of oxygen• Produces high vibrations• Changes biomass to liquid fuel when it

disintegrates• Changes plastic to million litres of fuel

Heat causes the objects to vibrate faster causing the molecules to break down. Liquid fuel is formed.

ACTIVITIES

THINGS TO SEE

PLACES TO STAY

TOUR GUIDES

TRANSPORT• A system for carrying

people or goods from one place to another using vehicles, road, etc. (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 2005)

WHY & HOW WE NEED TO PLAN?

• The transport system must meet the actual, and not the perceived needs of commuters

• Efficient transport systems tend to use up much land and resources, thought must be put into proper planning to maximise usage and minimise wastage.

• Observe the environmental ranking of transportation modes.

• Relook the functions of the street.

DISASTER RELIEF

Intervention aimed at meeting the immediate needs of the victims of a disastrous events.

HOW DO WE DO IT?i. The government of the

day must be serious about the preservation of nature

ii. Preparedness in the event of an unforeseen disaster is an important key to stabilising fear and anguish in society.

iii. A system for predicting and preparing for the unexpected calamity should be instituted

DEFINITION: DEFINITION:

Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.

What makes up a green building?

has to meet LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) - an international certification system for green buildings.

Good and proper air ventilationAbundant natural light Access to views and noise control so that these

buildings will be a better and comfortable place to be in

Energy efficiency and Renewable energyWater efficiency and proper waste managementEnvironmental preferable building materials and

specifications

Example of a green building

• Menara Mesiniaga by Malaysian architect Ken Yeang– to benefit the natural sunlight form all

directions into the building – The trussed steel + aluminum sunroof

also incorporates solar panels – Has good ventilation as all the office floor

terraces have sliding doors.

• Photovoltaic roofing with solar panel• Eco-friendly materials such as PVC-free linoleum and water-

based paints will be used throughout the construction of a building

Proposal of our future city's green building

• Building materials : Built-up walls with distributed insulation: Load-bearing clay bricks, cellular concrete bricks and lightweight concrete blocks

• Recuperation and use of rain water– eg: green roofs, which not only store rain water, but also provide a

green oasis in an urban environment

CONCLUSION

A Smarter City is a Greener and Liveable City• by knowing why and how to plan for our city

we would have the ownership of a smarter city. All we need is to constantly upgrade and improve on the features using technology for a better city.
