Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
All industries inevitably generate process losses/waste. At present, many industries do not have a proper waste management system; i.e. waste segregation, storage and inventory. As the wastes are piling up every day, there is pressure on the industry to find solutions for its disposal. Dumping waste on the ground has potential of causing serious environmental impacts on the soil, vegetation and surface and ground water in the duping area.
Managing solid waste effectively requires a thorough understanding of waste types, nature of the community or organization producing the waste, treatment technologies, relevant codes of practice and applicable legislations, available facilities for disposal, and current issues in local waste management hierarchy.
