What is Waste Management?
The term ‘Waste Management’ collectively means the management of waste from its inception to the final stage of disposal. Thus, as one single unit, it encompasses right from the collection, disposal, recycling, to which the processes of monitoring and regulation, respectively belong to, along with the legal frameworks that enable the occurrence of waste management.
According to Wikipedia
“Waste management or waste disposal are 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.”
Waste Management Advantages Disadvantages
Okay… but what do we mean here by ‘waste?’
We all attribute the term ‘waste’ in a global manner to a number of wastes. All kinds of wastes, right from the municipal waste to agricultural waste to hazardous residues and special wastes such as sludge, health care wastes come under one umbrella. Though all of them are certain waste products, their management practices are not the same.
In fact, the management practices of developing and underdeveloped countries are far more different from the practices done in the developed countries, as these countries use state of the art facilities when it comes to the aspect of waste disposal methods.
Types of Waste Management:
- Landfills
- Incineration/Combustion
- Recovery and Recycling
- Plasma gasification
- Composting
- Waste to Energy (Recover Energy)
- Avoidance/Waste Minimization
Why Waste Management is Important?
Its Protects the environment
Recycling helps you to get money
Reduces all types of waste
Saves the earth and conserves energy
How Did ‘Waste Management’ Emerge?
We, humans, are always practicing some primitive and most basic waste management methods and techniques since our inception thousands of years ago. The primal humans used holes dug in sands manually to bury their faecal matter along with burying the waste products. This was done to ward off the rodents and rats and other animals which thrived on waste products and also caused a lot of diseases spread in humans.
As days developed and flew, the practices we followed too started getting modernized and enhanced. Bio-degradation started developing rapidly and many of the wastes became non-bio-degradable for which an alternative method needs to be followed. These practices were modified according to every country’s needs and values, thereby developing unique frameworks for each.
For example, take the aspect of composting. Right from the food scraps that are left out of our every day’s food like eggshells, bread crumbs, etc., a compost pile is formed and these wastes are collected in an aggregate manner.
Along with these organic wastes other green products like grasses, vegetable remains are added in the right proportions to form the vermicompost, which is excellent manure. This is one of the finest examples we can attribute to waste management recycling.
Let us now have a look at some techniques which are used in the waste management process before discussing its merits and demerits.
Hierarchical Process:
This hierarchical process has 3R’s to it, namely, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This process denotes the favourability of the three processes according to a pyramid. Here it is seen that the process of minimization is preferred than the other two.
Hence, this minimization process can be called as the cornerstone of all the waste management strategies or methods of waste management, by this the basic principle is that all the generated residues should be utilized to the maximum and only a minimal amount of waste should be generated. This minimal waste, utilizing suitable techniques, should be resourcefully reused through some other viable channels.
Now, the resultant residue after the reuse should be thoroughly checked for the possibilities of recycling and if so, must be recycled properly and completely. If not, care must be taken to dispose of them in an eco-friendly manner or use them for obtaining any biofuel.
