Answer:
Policy measures for the prevention and minimisation of hazardous wastes The Swedish view has been that the volume and hazardousness of waste can only be influenced to a limited degree by measures taken at the waste stage. Measures to reduce the hazardousness and volume of waste should be primarily taken as part of work on products and chemicals. An important condition to be met to enable the risks to be reduced at the waste stage is that the actors concerned are aware which substances can be
hazardous to the environment and health and which of these hazardous substances are contained in the articles they manufacture, handle or buy. The sharply increased turnover of consumer goods with broader ranges of similar products and products with a shorter life, are important factors for example in the problems associated with electronic waste that contains hazardous chemical substances. Clothing is another example of articles with a short life, large quantities going to general waste management. The most effective way of reducing chemical risks is to take action at the start of a chain of production and handling, as all later stages, including the waste stage, are affected. The flow of information in production and handling chains is, however, often inadequate, and there are several factors underlying this. The chains of production and trade for articles are often long and can pass through several different countries. There are trading companies here that are not manufacturers of either chemicals or articles and only market and trade in articles. It can therefore be difficult for a purchaser in Sweden to trace back and obtain answers to questions about production methods in many supplier links. Work to improve access to information about the substances in articles, for example by introducing information requirements, therefore needs to be pursued at international level.
Explanation:
Initiatives to treat, recycle, reuse and dispose of wastes at the source of generation and regulatory mechanisms
• reduce emissions of environmentally hazardous liquids, products and refrigerants from end‐of‐life vehicles
• increase the recycling of metals, plastics, rubber, textiles etc. from end‐ofuse vehicles, • increase the recycling of components from end‐of‐life vehicles and • reduce the volume of waste from end‐of‐life vehicles sent to landfill
Answer:
Packaging waste, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), defined containers and packaging as products that are assumed to be discarded the same year the products they contain are purchased.[1] The majority of the solid waste are packaging products, estimating to be about 77.9 million tons of generation in 2015 (29.7 percent of total generation).[1] Packaging can come in all shapes and forms ranging from Amazon boxes to soda cans and are used to store, transport, contain, and protect goods to keep customer satisfaction. The type of packaging materials including glass, aluminum, steel, paper, cardboard, plastic, wood, and other miscellaneous packaging.[1] Packaging waste is a dominant contributor in today's world and responsible for half of the waste in the globe.[2]
