As one entrepreneur puts it, Britain is "beachfront property" for anyone with a nifty new waste-processing technology to sell.
The sectors most interesting for me in the area are pharmaceuticals, chemicals (resins and plastics), electronic components, various other kinds of electrical and mechanical engineering including waste-processing technology, other aspects of environmental services, and transportation/mobility consulting.
This will require that the sanitation subsystem (i.e. the part under the toilet seat/slab), and its waste-processing technology design, be adapted to the geo-physical features of the targeted zone, taking into account soil type, rainfall, water table, water availability, wind velocity and slope.
The lack of electricity and water supply in rural abattoirs in developing nations prevents the adoption of waste-processing technologies practiced in economically advanced countries.
Depending on the processing technology, the waste material may contain pollutants including sulfates, heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, some of which are toxic and carcinogenic.
As the processing technology of solid waste materials becomes more complex due to the growing requirements on the products, the need for computerised simulation technologies in this area of engineering is evident.
It is considered a most economical and high technology-free practise for onsite waste processing (Suthar 2012).
Integrated Solid Waste Management ISWMM) involves many executive, operational and managerial decisions such as the siting of waste processing and disposal units, selection of waste-treatment technologies and allocation of waste flow to processing facilities and landfills.
These results demonstrate that the MRDS is an effective processing technology for low level radioactive metal waste with uranium.
The combination of changing laws, financial incentives and new technologies like "waste gasification" promises to open valuable business opportunities in the region's waste processing markets.
Germain argues that landfills represent a realistic, promising solution to waste processing.
