Title:  Waste sorting, How to use a usage-pricing model for disposing of municipal solid waste to change the habits of town citizens, increase the recycling percentage and decrease the total waste production.

Biography:

Stefano Ambrosini is an Industrial engineer specialized in Waste Management & IT. CEO of Waste Management Specialist Ltd. Town councilor of Gardone Riviera municipality from 2009 (3nd mandate). His background studies are in Information Technology (ITIS Benedetto Castelli – Brescia), International Politics - Scandinavian Government & Politics University of Oslo (Norway) and Russian Foreign Policy (MGIMO – Moscow – Russian Federation).
 
 

Abstract:

Pay as you throw (PAYT) is a usage-pricing model for disposing of municipal solid waste. Users are charged a rate based on how much waste they present for collection to the municipality or local authority. Waste is measured by weight or size while units are identified using different types of bags, tags, containers or even RFID. Services for waste diversion, like recycling and composting, are often provided free of charge where pay-as-you-throw systems are implemented. The system is based by a waste collection door by door (kerbside) with 5 streams (food waste, plastic packaging and metals, glass, paper and cardboard and unsorted waste). The results after the introduction of the combined system (door by door collection and PAYT) are almost immediate (3/4 weeks from the start of the system). The secret of the system is the "Invisible Hand" effect generated by the combination of the available volume reduction for the undifferentiated fraction conferring and the creation of a personal saving potential of each individual user

Title: Utilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Material by Cold In-Place Recycling (CIPR)

Biography:

Rishi Singh Chhabra is a Research Scholar working under the supervision of Professor G. D. Ransinchung R. N. at IIT Roorkee, India. He is interested in sustainable pavements, recycling of pavement materials and low cost road construction focussing to save natural resources while reusing existing materials for pavement construction. His doctoral research investigates the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement material to produce new pavements. His research is funded by Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.
Previously, Rishi Singh worked as an Assistant Professor in Lovely Professional University, Punjab India, where he organized Faculty Development Programme on Recycling of Flexible Pavement. Also, he held the position of Engineer, Recycling in Wirtgen India Pvt. Ltd. (Wirtgen Group, Germany) which aimed major responsibilities to assure the quality of materials and work executed as per Indian specifications & contracts, testing of materials & check their conformity with technical specification, calibration of testing equipment & various site inspections and executions on his own. He is also experienced in BSM (Bituminous Stabilized Material) Mix Design, Cold In-situ recycling using foamed bitumen and emulsion, Materials & Quality section of major district roads (MDR), state highways (SH) & National highways (NH) projects in India.

Abstract:

The construction of a new pavement or overlay of an existing pavement requires huge amount of good quality aggregates and binder resulting high cost of construction. Whereas large quantity of reclaimed asphalt pavement materials (RAPM) are collected and stockpiled during the highway maintenance and milling process. In the same direction research is also going in order to re-utilize this waste materials and recycle it to use them in highway constructions. For a developing country like India, Reclaimed asphalt pavement materials (RAPM) can be beneficial as the increasing cost of bitumen and scarcity of quality aggregates is also an issue for new pavement construction, so recycling of existing flexible pavement results in considerable savings of material, money and energy. By cold milling of the existing flexible pavement, one can retain the final levels of an existing pavement thus saving cost of replacement of kerbs, drains, crash barriers in highways.
The present study is focused on review of the effect of partial and full replacement of RAP in comparison to virgin mixes in flexible pavement and also cold in-situ recycling using 100% RAP with foamed bitumen technology. Using RAP, improved ITS, TSR, Mr, results have shown that by increasing the percentage of RAP, stiffness of the asphalt matrix can be improved by showing improved rutting resistance at high temperature. The review of results on various literature by using the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in flexible pavement are very encouraging and is required to be used for it’s technical, economic and environmental
reasons.
