...Waste Waste is unwanted or useless materials. In biology, waste is any of the many unwanted substances or toxins that are expelled from living organisms, metabolic waste; such as urea, sweat or feces. Litter is waste which has been disposed of improperly. Feces contain large quantities of fresh and soft texturized waste products. Waste is directly linked to human development, both technologically and socially. The compositions of different wastes have varied over time and location, with industrial development and innovation being directly linked to waste materials. An example of this includes plastics and nuclear technology. Some components of waste have economical value and can be recycled once correctly recovered. Zero Waste America defines waste as "a resource that is not safely recycled back into the environment or the marketplace." This definition takes into account the value of waste as a resource, as well as the threat unsafe recycling can present to the environment and public health. The word 'waste' and the act of 'wasting' are human inventions. Waste doesn't exist in nature. In nature, everything has a purpose. Waste was created by humans for short-term convenience and short-term profit. Wasting results in long-term harmful consequences for both humans, nature, and the economy. Where does your waste go? Landfill As you can see from the chart most rubbish in Britain goes to landfill. We used to call landfills dumps or pits. We try to use old sandpits, gravel...

...Parktopia’s First Recycling Program Supply Chain Department Parktopia Executive Summary Situation In recent years, St. George has been plagued with a landfill scarcity crisis. Growing environmental negligence has caused this scarcity. Parktopia produces 15% of all total waste in St. George, making us the largest waste producer in the area. We need to take responsibility and help solve our city’s landfill scarcity problem. Methodology We used a framework called MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive). MECE allows us to find problems that are relevant towards our situation. The methodology allowed us to identify three areas of research that influence the solution that solves our problem; these three spheres of research are cost, community, and competition. Research The first sphere of research is about cost. We identified that the largest increasing cost in Parktopia is the trash disposal cost. The second sphere of research, which dealt with community, identified that our community is burdened by the increasing trash disposal cost and landfill scarcity. The last sphere of research identified that recycling programs are helping our competition reduce costs. Solution The solution that solves all three spheres of research is a recycling program. Our recycling program includes 100 plastic and 100 paper containers, along with formal employee training. The proposed start date is January 1, 2015. Introduction Since 1954, Parktopia...

...for: [pic] “Comparison and Critical evaluation of Recycling Industry in Canada and Malaysia” “I have read the Student Academic Code of Conduct and this assignment complies with the Code” Introduction Recycling is the process of turning used products into raw materials that can be used to make new products. Its purpose is to conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Recycling a product requires less energy when compared to manufacturing a new product and some of the items being currently recycled are Paper, Plastic, Glass, Metals and Electronics (Ackerman, 2008). History of Recycling Waste management in Canada is considered to be a $5.6 Billion industry. Canada produced over 34 million tonnes of waste in 2008, out of which 25.9 million tonnes of waste was sent to public and private waste disposal facilities and the remaining 8.5 million tones was sent to recycling and composting, which has been practically unchanged since 2006 (Globe-Net, 2010). Waste management had become an issue of vital importance as Canada having a total of 800 landfill sites was facing a critical shortage of the landfill space with 30% already filled up leading to growing concerns about the environmental impacts of the traditional waste disposal methods. Reduction, Reuse, recycling and recovery were considered to play a key role in minimizing the wastes by 50% (Alberni Environmental Coalition, 1991). From a 16% recycling rate in 2003, Ontario had managed to increase the rate to...

...And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” - John 6:12 Electronic waste, or e-waste, is high-tech trash that includes cast-off televisions, computer monitors, keyboards, mice, processors (CPUs), printers, scanners, fax machines, pocket computers (PDAs), walkie-talkies, baby monitors, certain kinds of watches, and cell phones—in other words, anything digital that’s no longer being used. Added together, this information-age detritus makes up the fastest growing category of waste in the U.S. and the more complex the circuitry, the more complicated the equipment’s disposal, since electronics contain toxic substances such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and beryllium that pose a hazard to both humans and the environment. VIEW POINT There are a lot of view points for the case “E-waste”. They are as follows: * In 1997, in one of the few studies of food waste, the Department of Agriculture estimated that two years before, 96.4 billion pounds of the 356 billion pounds of edible food in the United States was never eaten. * In England, a recent study revealed that Britons toss away a third of the food they purchase, including more than four million whole apples, 1.2 million sausages and 2.8 million tomatoes. * A recent study in Sweden found out that families with small children threw out about a quarter of the food...

...Construction Waste Management: An effective plan for recycling 11/11/2012 Abstract: The construction of both single and multiple family home in the United States on average generates more than two tons of waste. Studies have shown that more than 90% of the waste generated is recyclable. In recent years federal green building programs have been established to award points and give tax credits for those who recycle construction debris. With the current state of today’s housing market, builders can improve their profit margin by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Unfortunately, many builders are puzzled at how to take advantage recycling. In this paper I will focus on cost effective and environmentally friendly methods to dispose of construction waste for those in the home building industry. The program will outline how those in the home building industry implement techniques for managing construction waste on their projects. Introduction When speaking of sustainability those in the construction industry should understand and acknowledge that a critical part includes effective waste management. Napier (2012) suggests the following: “Responsible management of waste is an essential aspect of sustainable building. In this context, managing waste means eliminating waste where possible; minimizing waste where feasible; and reusing materials that might otherwise become waste. Solid waste management practices have identified the reduction, recycling...

The recycling legislative experience in Taiwan Received: October 1, 2004 / Accepted: October 10, 2004 Abstract The legislative framework of waste management in Taiwan has never been efficient, mainly due to unclear definitions and regulations. In 2002, this system was split into two parts by enacting a new law, the Resource Recycling and Re-use Act (RRRA). However, it then became more complicated and recycling effectiveness was impeded. The causes were mainly the unclear definitions, conflicts about the scope, and issues between the RRRA and the Waste Disposal Act (WDA). This article examines the recycling legislation experience in Taiwan, and proposes two modifications for resolving these problems. The first proposal is merging these two acts into one. The second proposed modification maintains a two-system structure but introduces a new subject, “discards,” into the law. The subject of discards is further categorized as “recyclable resources” or “waste,” which correspond to “recycling operations” and “disposal operations,” respectively. The new structures, interfaces, prerequisites, properties, and comparisons are also explained. Key words Waste · Recyclable resources · Discards · Definition Introduction Finding...

...philosophy is evident in McDonald’s involvement in various community projects regarding education, health care, medical research, and rehabilitation facilities. These activities help the corporation to extend their image beyond fun and entertainment into social responsibility. However, in the late 1980s, McDonald’s began to face criticism for its environmental policies, especially those surrounding polystyrene clamshell containers. In 1987, McDonald’s replaced CFCs, the blowing agent used in clamshell production, with weaker HCFC-22’s after facing public criticism that CFC usage was contributing to ozone depletion. But this change was not enough for many grass-roots environmental groups that, led by the Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste (CCHW), united in establishing a “Ronald McToxic Campaign” consisting of restaurant picketers and an organized effort to mail clamshells back to Oak Brook headquarters. When McDonald’s later tested trash-to-energy on-site incinerators, CCHW quickly named the project...

...ban on plastic bags or have already implemented one. Meanwhile, here are a couple of things you can do to help: Switch to reusable shopping bags. Reusable shopping bags made from renewable materials conserve resources by replacing paper and plastic bags. Reusable bags are convenient and come in a variety of sizes, styles and materials. When not in use, some reusable bags can be rolled or folded small enough to fit easily into a pocket. Recycle your plastic bags. If you do end up using plastic bags now and then, be sure to recycle them. Many grocery stores now collect plastic bags for recycling. If yours doesn't, check with your community recycling program to learn how to recycle plastic bags in your area. ---______________________________________________________________________________________________- REPUBLIC ACT 9003 January 26, 2001 AN ACT PROVIDING FOR AN ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, CREATING THE NECESSARY INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS AND INCENTIVES, DECLARING CERTAIN ACTS PROHIBITED AND PROVIDING PENALTIES, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representative of...

...Recycling Recycling is a commonly heard term specially in science classes, it means to dispose of materials the correct way so it can be reused. Although it is commonly well known many people ignore the fact that in order for it to work they actually need to regularly participate in the recycling process by disposing of their waste the correct way. If every were to do this the term “recycle” would not be seen as the cli·ché term we hear in science class but as a process that is going to help our environment in the long run. There is not only one specific way recycling is beneficial for the environment, we could go different ways with this topic so I am going to address the most important ways recycling helps the environment. Such as landfill reduction, pollution, energy consumption reduction, and also it can be cost efficient for companies or manufacturers. Landfills are made to hold up all the waste us, humans, produce and all these landfills contain harmful chemicals and or substance that are dangerous not only for us but for the environment in which we live in. All these items such as plastics take thousands of years to decompose naturally and leave behind a big ecological footprint behind. Instead of dumping old items we do not use anymore we should be focused on seeing how that item can be reused either by using it for something else or simply by taking it to a recycling plant so they can break it apart and reuse parts and bits of it. The more waste we prevent...

...Fact Sheet The Oregon Bottle Bill Background The Oregon Bottle Bill put an end to “No deposit - No return” in Oregon. This law, passed in 1971, requires that all beer and carbonated soft drink containers be returnable and have a minimum refund value. It reduced litter, increased container recycling, and fostered a recycling ethic among Oregonians that helped pave the way for future recycling efforts. After 30 years, it is still one of Oregon’s most effective recycling systems. How the Deposit System Works Every beer or carbonated soft drink container sold in Oregon must have a minimum refund value. Deposits begin with the distributor and are refunded to the customer when the empty container is returned. At the store, empties are sorted and counted, then collected by the distributor for recycling. Containers that are discarded by the consumer rather than returned to the store are often recovered from solid waste and then returned for their refund value by someone else. Specific Provisions of the Law ♦ The deposit/refund applies to all beer and carbonated soft drink containers; ♦ Containers must be labeled with their minimum refund value. Most containers carry a $.05 refund value; ♦ Retailers must provide customers with a full refund for redeemed containers; ♦ Distributors must provide retailers with a refund for redeemed containers; ♦ Retailers may refuse to accept and pay refunds for excessively dirty empty containers or more than 144 containers from one person per day; ♦...

Recycling is a process using materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy. Origins Recycling has been a common practice for most of human history, with recorded advocates as far back as Plato in 400 BC. During periods when resources were scarce, archaeological studies of ancient waste dumps show less household waste (such as ash, broken tools and pottery)—implying more waste was being recycled in the absence of new material. Supply For a recycling program to work, having a large, stable supply of recyclable material is crucial. Three legislative options have been used to create...
