Description
Waste generation constitutes one of the most important health and environmental issues
worldwide. The primary causes are the increase in population and the increased rate of resource consumption. Societies can opt to reduce the amount of waste either taken to landfill or incinerated through the adoption of a Waste Management hierarchy as follows: reduce; reuse; recycle/composting; and, disposal.
Objective
The Waste Management criterion considers aspects associated with building operational practice for waste reduction, reuse and recycling to mitigate the environmental impacts on landfills.
