The concept of a circular economy (CE) has become popular and important issue in environmental management recent years; however, there are not particular indicators dedicated to it regional policy. CE approach is an industrial system that restorative by design, emphasises that, rather than extracting natural resources, the materials have already been taken can should be recovered reused different ways, thereby securing resources from over-exploitation. In order meet assumptions, modern...
Abstract One of the key elements in transformation towards a circular economy (CE) is providing more sustainable practices for resources and waste management. Improvement actions focused on CE should be targeted at all groups materials waste. As water essential human survival well-being plays significant role development (SD), related to reuse recovery raw from wastewater other water-based taken. The paper presents proposition new model framework sector, which includes six following actions:...
Sustainability’s growth, year after year, continues to be staggering, becoming a reference point for those working on these issues [...]
The European Green Deal is the new strategy for economic growth adopted by Commission (EC) in late 2019. One of most important tasks realisation this mobilisation industry a clean and circular economy (CE). Currently, Union (EU) process transformation towards CE model, which was announced 2014. assumes transition from linear model based on take–make–dispose to waste, if it arises, becomes valuable resource. At same time, recommended use raw materials (RMs) more efficiently recycle them. EC...
Municipal waste management has been an area of special interest for the European Commission (EC) many years, especially in transformation process towards a circular economy (CE), which is priority Union’s (EU’s) economic policy. This paper presents overview Polish system (WMS) and CE-related tasks indicated CE Roadmap. Despite fact that Poland one countries generates least per capita (329 kg 2018) EU (489 kg), it still problems with adapting levels municipal recycling to requirements (34.3%...
Abstract The current enthusiasm for the circular economy (CE) offers a unique opportunity to advance impact of research on sustainability transitions. Diverse interpretations CE by scholars, however, produce partly opposing assessments its potential benefits, which can hinder progress. Here, we synthesize policy‐relevant lessons and directions sustainable identify three narratives—optimist, reformist, skeptical—that underpin ambiguity in assessments. Based 54 key scholars’ insights, needs:...
Climate crisis is obviously an international problem that requires concerted actions by all regions and countries in the world. In recent years, many various national organisations launched specific initiatives for counteracting progress of climate change environmental degradation, which are based on sustainability. Currently, one most important concepts implementation sustainable development (SD) principles a green deal. available literature, there no works present comprehensive description...
Nowadays, the main challenge for industrial and municipal enterprises is related to tightening regulations recommendations regarding environmental protection, which have been included in circular economy (CE) package. Enterprises from all sectors, including water sewage management, are obliged actively participate CE transition. Modern wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) should include actions aimed at a more sustainable use of available resources (water, energy, raw materials) contribute...
The paper presents an application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method for the environmental evaluation technologies fertilizers production.LCA has been used because it enables most comprehensive identifi cation, documentation and quantifi cation potential impacts on environment comparison all signifi cant aspects.The main objective study was to assess compare two production phosphorus (P) coming from primary secondary sources.In order calculate impact IMPACT 2002+ used.The fi rst part LCA...
In the transition to circular economy (CE) model, sustainable management of raw materials plays a key role in whole value chain. One most important critical (CRM) for European is Phosphorus (P), which cannot be replaced by any other element. This paper presents current P structure Poland taking into account sources P, its consumption and recycling. At present, no phosphates are produced demand P-bearing satisfied entirely imports. There high potential recovery from selected secondary due an...
Mobilizing industry and transforming industrial sectors to a circular economy (CE) is one of the key areas activities in European Green Deal (EGD)—the newest strategy economic growth Union (EU). In CE, raw materials that can be recovered from various waste streams play role, therefore, recommendations for their management were developed, both at national level. Poland, material recovery sector strategic (key industries) described several documents determining further directions country. This...
A circular economy (CE) is an economic model that involves more sustainable management of raw materials and waste. Implementation CE assumptions highly recommended in the form dedicated technologies as well business models, so-called models (CBMs), which are integral part environmental organizations. Depending on application type sector or enterprise, CBMs defined differently, focusing various areas waste management. In general, they should create added value for given enterprise meets...
Abstract The paper presents the results of studies on changes in PAHs concentration during pre-filtration and ultrafiltration (UF) processes. In study, biologically treated wastewater (after denitrification nitrification processes), discharged from biological treatment plant used coke plant, was used. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) order to qualify quantify PAHs. Sixteen listed by EPA were determined. samples collected three fold initially characterized for nitrate nitrogen,...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are relatively well-known organic pollutants and due to their carcinogenic mutagenic properties presence in the environment still attracts a lot of attention.According literature reports own research, PAHs wastewaters is common. It was confirmed that components municipal landfill leachate. Membrane techniques one most interesting ways removing from leachate.The purpose this article monitor concentration changes during membrane (reverse osmosis - RO)...
Issues related to improvement in the quality of products and environmental protection economic policy many countries strategies institutions international organisations (e.g. European Union) have increased importance recent years as a consequence increase awareness consumers. All these currently recommend comprehensive assessment effectiveness planned projects during decision-making process taking into account both factors. It is, therefore, important develop methods tools assess performance...
