近年来,以色列国陷入了严重的浪费危机。在2021年和2022年发布的国家审计长报告以及近年来发布的以色列PRTR(强制性排放报告)中,已经可以确定致癌物质和温室气体排放的问题,主要是甲烷,这些物质是从垃圾填埋场排放的,以及在开放空间不受控制地焚烧废物。
South Africa’s worrying state of wastewater management requires urgent public-private partnerships to accelerate technology development to improve the current situation, says Dr Rembu Magoba, Manager of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Water Research Centre. Dr Magoba was speaking at the Africa Water, Waste and Green Energy Conference held in Cape Town recently. Government representatives, business leaders and decision-makers from African countries attended the conference. The country's wastewater treatment system has worsened over the years since 2013. 39% of assessed wastewater treatment systems are now classified as critical, a drop from 29% in 2013.
