Landfill site selection is a complex process, which requires evaluation of multiple criteria. Decision makers often face difficulties in making the right decision in multiple attribute environment. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) has been found to be a useful approach to solve such kind of problems. In this paper, an integrated Fuzzy-AHP-TOPSIS based methodology is applied to solve the municipal solid waste landfill site selection problem in the city of Mumbai, India. The methodology has been
many aspects of planning and operations of disposal of waste are highly dependent on the spatial data. GIS can analyse the optimal locations of transfer stations, it can also assist in planning the routes for vehicles transporting the waste to the landfills. By the application of GIS in solid waste management system we can reduce the time and cost of site selection. Many factors must be considered for selecting a disposal site but GIS is known for its ability to manage large volumes of spatial data
wastes. Conventional way of reducing the impact is landfill. A well-managed landfill site limits the environmental harm, but has the long-term risk of soil and ground water contamination. A major drawback is that the resources used to produce these materials cannot be recovered. So in this method there is no cycling of material but the flow is linear. Another technique to reduce waste is incineration and energy recovery. This reduces the need of landfill of plastics waste, but this may release hazardous
CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Related Literature The papermaking process is complicated and has far-reaching environmental impacts further than the simple paper production process, which itself is toxic, resource intensive, and uses chemicals and pollutants that generates major health issues and environmental degradation. Metaphorically speaking, the deforestation is required to obtain paper pulp and the disposal of paper waste products are major contributors to greenhouse

The methods that will be used in conducting this research will be basically the review of the literature, questionnaires and interview by visiting different construction sites. The results will obtain from project managers of how they will be used to manage construction materials wastes, they will be analysed and will be combined with literature findings to design the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire will be based on • The cause of construction materials
increasing amount of using polyethylene, their disposal gives a very serious problem environmentally. Their degradation will reach more than thousands of years to decompose efficiently (Nanda, Sahu, 2010). Polyethylene remains in nature and end up in landfills because of their durability and light weight. However, some microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi have the ability to decompose plastic both natural and synthetic plastics (Ramesh, Pamila, 2011). In the recent years, there are many people concern

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Diesel engine is a very popular prime mover used for surface transportation, agricultural machinery needs and in industries. Diesel engines of more than 6.5 million units are being used only in the Indian agricultural sectors for different activities and the import of petroleum products is a major draw off on our foreign exchange sectors and with increasing demand in future years the condition is likely to become worse. Hence, it is an urgent need for a country like India
