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." THANK YOU
