WASTE

MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Waste management deals
with all types of waste,
including industrial,
biological, household,
municipal, organic,
biomedical, radioactive
wastes. In some cases,
waste can pose a threat
to human health.
The aim of waste management is to
reduce the dangerous effects of such
waste on the environment and human
health. A big part of waste management
deals with municipal solid waste, which
is created by industrial, commercial,
and household activity.
IMPORTANCE OF
WASTE
MANAGEMENT
ENVIRONMENTAL : Proper disposal prevents pollutants from entering soil,
air, and water, safeguarding ecosystems and biodiversity.
PROTECTION It reduces the risk of soil and water contamination,
preserving natural habitats

RESOURCE :
Recycling and reusing waste materials reduce the
demand for new raw materials, conserving natural
CONSERVATION resources. This contributes to sustainable practices and
helps in the efficient use of limited resources.
IMPORTANCE OF
WASTE : Inadequate waste disposal poses health risks
MANAGEMENT
HEALTH AND
SAFETY
through the spread of diseases and exposure to
harmful substances. Proper waste management
protects public health by minimizing these hazards.

ENERGY SAVING :Recycling often requires less energy than producing


items from raw materials. By recycling, we can reduce
energy consumption, leading to lower greenhouse gas
emissions and a smaller carbon footprint

Food Waste: Gather kitchen scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds,
eggshells, and other non-dairy/non-meat organic materials. Avoid oils, dairy, and meat
RECYCLING products, as they can attract pests and slow down the process.?

Shredding and Chopping: It's helpful to chop or shred the food waste into smaller
pieces. This increases the surface area for microbial activity.

Carbon Material : To create the right carbon-to-


nitrogen ratio, mix in brown materials like dried leaves,
straw, or shredded newspaper. Layering: Create
alternating layers of food waste and carbon materials
in your compost bin or pile. This helps with aeration
and decomposition.
