In glass recycling, waste glasses are crushed and melted to cullet. Cullet is a high-grade product that is mixed with virgin materials such as sand and limestone for manufacturing new glass bottles and containers. This cullet can be further categorized into internal and external cullet based on the feedstock used for manufacturing. The internal cullet is manufactured by crushing defective glass products such as bottles, which are rejected during a quality check at various manufacturing industries. The external cullet is manufactured by the processing of used bottles or other glass. Glass fines are low-grade products, which are used in the manufacturing mix of construction and car glass.

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a blended aqueous solution composed of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. It acts as a reactant for the functioning of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, an advanced active emission control technology system. DEF is standardized as aqueous urea solution (AUS) 32 in ISO 22241. AUS 32 is registered as a trademark AdBlue by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA).

Global Industrial Waste Management Market Size and Share Analysis - Growth Trends and Forecasts

Electronic waste (e-waste) is any discarded electrical or electronic equipment. This applies to electrical or electronic equipment, which is either still functional or damaged and has been discarded as garbage. Electronic waste recycling is the process of extracting valuable materials, which can be reused in a new electronic appliance, after shredding the e-waste into tiny pieces. Some of these materials contain cadmium, lead, mercury, chromium, and other materials.

我国移动源减污降碳进展与展望

The global smart waste management market is valued at USD 3.08 billion in 2024 and is expected to register a CAGR of 15.08%, reaching USD 6.21 billion by 2029. • Smart waste management directs the use of sensors in waste to observe the real-time status of municipal waste collection services and decide when bins should be emptied or filled. It also maintains track of past information collected by sensors and databases that can be utilized to pinpoint and enhance driver routes, fill patterns, and lower operating costs. Effective waste collection is more functional with remote monitoring and IoT-based waste bins.

Liquid waste management requires filtration of waste, unlike waste segregation in solid waste management. Generally, liquid waste is generated when water is used once and is no longer fit for human consumption or any other activity. Various manufacturing activities in industries generate wastewater, which is sometimes difficult to treat due to various toxic chemicals in the wastewater. A proper liquid waste management facility includes all phases of the process, namely liquid collection, storage, transportation, disposal, and waste treatment. Neglecting any aspect of liquid waste management in treating industrial wastewater generated after production activity can lead to contaminated water runoff.
