Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Management of Municipal Solid Waste in Côte d’Ivoire: Current Situation and Perspectives to Green Job Creation Authored by Bodjui Olivier Abo Mini Review In Côte d’Ivoire, the average daily production of waste per capita is between 0.2 kg/HBT/day and 0.8 kg/HBT/day. This waste is more than 60% composed of fermentable organic matter. Waste production is estimated in 2015 to 2 996 537 tons for an urban population of 9 753 573 inhabitants at the level of the 34 localities of the country. The waste produced is very rich in organic matter and recyclable materials. Fermentable materials represent more than one million tons in 2015. All this quantity is found in wild landfills contributing to the phenomenon of climate change through the production of greenhouse gases (CH4, CO2, etc.). The energy potential of these fermentable materials can be valorized by the exploitation of biogas. Recyclable materials ...

Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Natural Dyeing of Cotton Fabric by Extruded Pelargonidin of Red Onion Skin and Finished it Naturally with Aloe Vera Authored by Ashish Debnath Abstract According to the opinion of the Ecologist, the Textile industry is regarded as the most polluting sectors. Almost every single day, various textile industries mostly Dyeing factories are ejaculating different toxic chemicals, dyes and other agents which are very much harmful to our nature and environment. As a result, the demand for natural dyes has increased abundantly. Natural dyes are environment friendly. In this project, we used onion outer skins as a potential source of natural plant dyes. These dyes, which are known as pelargonidin were applied on cotton fabric by the exhaust method. For proper fixation, drying and curing is carried out in Mini Thermosol Machine. The dyed sample was evaluated for color fastness to washing, light, rubbing and...
