To reduce waste or track any pollution level, they should be measurable at the first place; unveil the standards and plan for waste reduction and pollution control.
We need to rethink how we view and treat waste. If the waste can be used as resources then why send it to landfill? Let’s reuse where applicable, then recycle and recover into energy through composting or anaerobic digestion.
Resources should be used very wisely. Sending anything to waste is something we need to pay for later.
To create more sense on how waste management should work and how they can be really implemented depends on every individual, every customer, every business and every organization.
Use of new technologies can help us to reuse things, for e.g. reuse of papers through printing media, Anaerobic digestion that creates energy from food and farm waste. Even businesses can apply appropriate technologies to reuse what they waste into innovative products and can use products that use less resources or contain recycled materials.
Let’s plan for a decade to reduce at least 50% of household waste to either be recycled or used for energy, and over time this figure will increase even further. Aiming for zero waste is the way we have to think to get us to where we need to be.
One approach could be to encourage people to rethink the waste they create by reducing and re-using where possible; and make them recycle the waste at the source if possible.
Innovative ideas should be developed to cut waste at home, work place and community. If organizations work together, it is possible to make great achievements in sustainable waste management and supporting further development.
