I think waste management is VERY VITAL to maintaining and directing the state of affairs of the environment in which we live. Currently and futuristically. We need to keep our eyes open for improvements as to how we are handling our wastes.

The Expert answers:

‘Waste Management’ is the removal of all solid refuse from a building for disposal. If you can reduce the amount of refuse, it’s considered Minimal Waste Management. If 100% of the refuse is reduced, (from reduced demand, recycling and re-use) it would be Zero Waste Management.

The Expert answers:

Integrated wast emanagement is recycling and treatment of several different wastes in combination with each other. For example some recyclable materials are composted instead with different organic matter including sludge from waste water treatment plants. This compost is cured (aged) and then sold as a commercial product. So you’ve combined several types of waste to decrease the amount going into a regular landfill.

The Expert answers:

Paper Waste Management may be what we call recycling paper. It is making use of waste paper. People should make use of waste paper and try to recycle it into something useful.

What a fun game! I’ve been looking for a good 1st person RPG with organic waste. After sorting, do you get to kill aliens?

The Expert answers:

……….Disposing in a landfill involves burying the waste, and this remains a common practice in most countries. Landfills were often established in abandoned or unused quarries, mining voids or borrow pits. A properly-designed and well-managed landfill can be a hygienic and relatively inexpensive method of disposing of waste materials

Incineration is a disposal method that involves combustion of waste material. Incineration and other high temperature waste treatment systems are sometimes described as “thermal treatment”.

Most items are usually composed of a single type of material, making them relatively easy to recycle into new products. The recycling of complex products (such as computers and electronic equipment) is more difficult, due to the additional dismantling and separation required.

Plant material, food scraps, and paper products, can be recycled using biological composting and digestion processes to decompose the organic matter. The resulting organic material is then recycled as mulch or compost for agricultural or landscaping purposes. In addition, waste gas from the process (such as methane) can be captured and used for generating electricity. The intention of biological processing in waste management is to control and accelerate the natural process of decomposition of organic matter.

An important method of waste management is the prevention of waste material being created, also known as waste reduction. Methods of avoidance include reuse of second-hand products, repairing broken items instead of buying new, designing products to be refillable or reusable (such as cotton instead of plastic shopping bags), encouraging consumers to avoid using disposable products

Education and awareness in the area of waste and waste management is increasingly important from a global perspective of resource management. The Talloires Declaration is a declaration for sustainability concerned about the unprecedented scale and speed of environmental pollution and degradation, and the depletion of natural resources. Local, regional, and global air pollution; accumulation and distribution of toxic wastes; destruction and depletion of forests, soil, and water; depletion of the ozone layer and emission of “green house” gases threaten the survival of humans and thousands of other living species, the integrity of the earth and its biodiversity, the security of nations, and the heritage of future generations. Several universities have implemented the Talloires Declaration by establishing environmental management and waste management programs, e.g. The waste management university project. University and vocational education are promoted by various organizations, e.g. WAMITAB and Chartered Institution of Wastes Management. Many supermarkets encourage customers to use their reverse vending machines to deposit used purchased containers and receive a refund from the recycling fees. Brands that manufacture such machines include Tomra and Envipco.

The Expert answers:

The first step is to call your waste management service to see if you have a curbside recycling program. If you do, you can probably get one. Wheter or no it is free depends on where you live, you can ask that to.

You could find the waste management center in your phone book.

Because of science, wastes are recycled and reused. ^_^

The Expert answers:

Well if HEMP were legal instead of plastic manmade now setting in them forever products from hemp would biodegrade to soil or fertilizer again. From car bodies like the first model T (10% stronger body than steel) to cellophane hemp could be a non polluting way to manufacture every day products that would reduce the landfills by both actually degrading and by the amount of waste that can’t go right into recycling and reuse
