Waste Management

Waste management is the process of planning and executing the reduction at source, collection, transportation, recovery, treatment, and final disposal of generated waste in a manner that does not harm the environment or human health. This process encompasses technical, administrative, and legal applications for all waste types, from municipal waste to hazardous waste.

Uncontrolled waste management significantly increases soil, water, and air pollution along with public health risks. Effective waste management reduces costs by supporting resource efficiency and the circular economy, and ensures regulatory compliance.
