WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste management or Waste disposal is all the


activities and actions required to manage waste
from its inception to its final disposal. This
includes amongst other things, collection,
transport, treatment and disposal of waste
together with monitoring and regulation. It also
encompasses the legal and regulatory
framework that relates to waste management
encompassing guidance on recycling etc.”
IMPORTANCE
• Waste management is important as it saves the environment from the toxic
effects of inorganic and biodegradable element present in waste.
Mismanagement of waste can cause water contamination, soil erosion and air
contamination.

Waste can be recycled if collected and managed efficiently. Waste materials


such as plastic, glass and paper can be segregated into different columns in
order to process them to make new products which will save the natural
resources. Moreover, when this waste is not recycled, it usually ends up in
landfills or oceans posing threat to human health and marine life. In most
areas of the world, sewage treatment is not done properly, leading to
eutrophication and beach closures. According to World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
an estimate of 8 million ton plastic ends up in oceans each year.
ENVRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF
PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT:
• Proper waste removal helps improve air and water quality as
well as reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• It helps in minimising the extraction of resources along with
reducing pollution and energy consumption which is
associated with manufacturing new materials.
• One of the most significant benefits of waste management is
the protection of the environment and the health of the
population.
• When the waste is recycled it help turn recyclable waste into
useful substances. If you do not dispose of your waste with
the help of rubbish removal Sydney, these useful substances
cannot be created.
EFFICIENT WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Waste management is not only the responsibility of
government organizations but as a responsible
citizen, it is our responsibility to play our role in
managing waste. Let’s see how efficient waste
management can be done:
Waste Reduction:First and foremost, we should reduce
waste at the source. It can be done if people minimize
the waste they produce on daily basis. Knowing which
product to use and how to dispose of it is extremely
important. When visiting a restaurant, order as much
food as you can eat rather than wasting it.

Reutilization of Waste:Some products can be used


several times after being bought. Items can be used for
the same purpose again or can be reused for different
means. For example, we can donate our books and
clothes to the needy for reuse or can redesign our
clothes to wear again and give them a new look.
• Waste Recycling:Recycling facilities can process the
waste and make it useful for further use.
Biodegradable waste such as food, paper, or wood can
be decomposed organically to make manure or
fertilizers for plants.

• Energy Recovery:It is the least preferred way of waste


management. In this method combustion of non-
recyclable waste is done, which results in a decreased
amount of solid waste which is to be ended in landfills.
This process aids in producing renewable energy along
with minimizing carbon dioxide. In addition to this,
methane release can be minimized which is produced
through waste disposal in landfills.
REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE

• The principle of reducing waste, reusing and recycling


resources and products is often called the "3Rs."
Reducing means choosing to use things with care to
reduce the amount of waste generated. Reusing involves
the repeated use of items or parts of items which still have
usable aspects. Recycling means the use of waste itself
as resources. Waste minimization can be achieved in an
efficient way by focusing primarily on the first of the 3Rs,
"reduce," followed by "reuse" and then "recycle."
