Answer:
From the regulatory perspective, segregation is typically keeping specific wastes apart from other ones so they can be managed differently or don’t react (e.g. hazardous waste, medical/infectious wastes, etc.). In most landfill situations, waste that is not permissible to be accepted will be segregated so that it can be handled appropriately and shipped to a different facility for ultimate disposal.
Waste sorting, as indicated below, usually refers to the classification of waste. However, from a colloquial perspective, you typically hear ‘sorting’ when referring to the separation of recyclable materials handled differently than trash. However, I’ve also heard recyclables segregated from trash as well.
If this is being used in an industry context, then they are not the same thing. If it’s being used in a communication to the public perspective I do think they can be used interchangeably to make the point in a simple manner. People tend to know what these words mean and therefore hearing them elicits a response to ‘get the job done.’
Hopefully this helps!
Answer:
Waste sorting is the process by which waste is separated into different elements. ... Hand sorting was the first method used in the history of waste sorting. Waste can also be sorted in a civic amenity site. "Waste segregation" means dividing waste into dry and wet.
