WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT.


  • The main purpose of solid waste management is to minimize the adverse effect on the environment.
  • Three simple techniques to control pollution due to solid waste are known as three "R"s namely, Reduce, Recycle and Reuse before destruction.
   1. Reduce :
  • Shrinking the waste to stream is the best way and better option than struggling with disposal methods. Waste reduction can be achieved in three basic ways
   (i). Reducing the amount of material used per product                   without sacrificing the utility of product in industries.
   (ii). Increasing the lifespan of product and eliminating the             need of product in replace of first.
   (iii). Reduction of waste on household level is achieved by            refusing bags at store, using laundry detergent refills              instead of purchasing new containers bringing your                own bag at grocery shops.

    2. Recycle :
  • Recycling means reprocessing of discarded materials into new useful things. It is a complete different thing from reuse. In this we will make either different product or another from the discarded refuse. For example, old aluminum cans and glass bottles re usually melted and recast into new cans and bottles. This is called recycling. It will be reduce the cost of product, waste management and cost of product.
    3. Reuse :
  • Reuse is preferred to use of the product without recycling it to hold various small things into it or to make any handcraft or else. For example, Toffee bottles are used to store screw or bolts in it.
