WASTE MANAGEMENT

I. Learning Competency:
Recognize the importance of Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Recover, and Repair in waste
management.

II. Background Information

Waste management
Waste management (or waste disposal) are the activities and actions required to
manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection,
transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of
the waste management process. Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and each type
has different methods of disposal and management. Waste management deals with all
types of waste, including industrial, biological and household. Human and lack of
technologies are the reason why some communities suffer from garbage or waste
product.

Different ways to manage our waste product:

Recycle
Is one of the key components in the waste management system it is the process of
converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is the practice of reprocessing and
reusing the items in the same or a different form which otherwise could have been discarded as
waste. This process saves a lot of time, energy and resources and money.
Reduce
To make something smaller or use less, resulting in a smaller amount of waste. Waste
reduction simply means reducing the things that we use and only consume what is necessary.
This way the amount of waste that is created in the end is reduced and avoids going to the
dump.
Reuse
A method or a practice of using something again. This can be done to use the product
for its original purpose or to fulfil a different function. Reusing a product more than one time
benefits us as well as the environment. Reusing also helps in saving time, money, energy and
resources.
Recover
This is the recovery of waste without any pre-processing. For example, waste oils that
cannot be refined for reuse in vehicles can be burnt for energy recovery. Recovering the energy
from waste oil reduces our dependence on coal and imported oil.

Repair
These days, we find it easier to buy a new product than to repair and use an existing
product. This is true of especially electronic goods like mobile phones and domestic appliances,
which can last a long time if repaired when necessary. Reducing, reusing and recycling,
decrease both the demands on natural resources, as well as the rate at which they are
consumed.
