Abstract

Today, researchers are exploring natural fillers as alternatives to synthetic options in composite materials, driven by the need for renewability, eco-friendliness, affordability, and safety. This exploration aims to propose novel composite materials reinforced with natural fillers. The principal aim of this investigation was to thoroughly examine the properties of the novel ABSF as a feasible substitute filler for polymer composites, and the experimental findings indicate the feasibility of manufacturing polymer composites with ABSF as a reinforcement. Consequently, in this study, agricultural by-products of alkali-treated baheda seed filler-reinforced polyester composites were manufactured through compression molding, with differing levels of fiber weight between 9% and 18%. The specimens made of ABSF-P material had their mechanical characteristics inspected, revealing optimal characteristics in specimens with a 15 wt. % filler content. Tensile strength (TS), flexural strength (FS), and impact strength (IS) were optimal at approximately 27.4 MPa, 131.11 MPa and 59.33 kJ/m2, respectively. The combined outcomes validate these specimens' applicability for various lightweight tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Solid Waste Management (SWM) has become increasingly intricate in developing countries as compared to developed nations. Composting, incineration, and recycling are commonly employed for solid waste treatment and disposal. However, these methods pose economic challenges, especially in developing countries. Among the available options, landfilling emerges as the most costeffective method for solid waste disposal. However, selecting a suitable landfill site is a complex undertaking. This complexity is addressed by applying Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) tools, which aid in identifying appropriate sites. Nevertheless, it is imperative to implement measures to minimize environmental impact when selecting a suitable site. This research delves into applying distinct decision-making algorithms to determine the optimal landfill site for solid waste disposal. Various criteria or factors are considered in the site selection process, including legal, economic, environmental, social, and monitoring quality impacts. The study further explores the significance and limitations of MCDM tools in real-time case studies, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with identifying suitable landfill sites for solid waste disposal.
