“Management of Waste” refers to the appropriate handling of waste, leftovers, and undesired things that we produce for both the environment and human health. It covers the appropriate collection, transportation, processing, recycling, and disposal of trash.
Here’s a quick summary:
Waste Types:
Solid waste (such as trash from the home)
liquid waste, such as industrial wastewater
Organic waste, such as leftover food and garden debris
Hazardous waste (such as batteries, chemicals, and medical waste)
Waste Management Steps:
Reduce: Use reusable bags to cut down on waste.
Reuse: Rather than discarding items, find new applications for them.
Recycle: Create new items out of old ones.
Recover: Make energy out of garbage.
When all other options have been exhausted, dispose of it safely via incineration or landfilling.
Contemporary Techniques:
Composting for organic waste
Paper, metal, and plastic recycling facilities
Waste-to-energy facilities that generate power by burning garbage
Utilizing microorganisms for bio remediation to purify toxic waste
Challenges:
Insufficient public awareness
Ineffective waste segregation at the source
inadequate infrastructure for recycling
Health risks and pollution
Why It Is Important
safeguards the environment
conserves energy and resources.
lessens pollution
promotes public health
generates employment in the waste treatment and recycling sectors.
