Every production process generates waste. Proper disposal and recycling of these materials are crucial for protecting our environment and conserving resources.
▸ Waste Management — The process of collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, or disposing of waste materials, often involving strategies to reduce environmental impact.
Example: Separating plastic bottles from food waste for recycling.
Different waste types, such as plastic, glass, metal scraps, and organic waste, require specific handling methods. Identifying them correctly is the first step towards responsible disposal.
★ Real-world:
Many communities in Kenya are implementing waste segregation programs, encouraging households and businesses to separate organic waste for composting and recyclables like plastic and glass for processing, reducing landfill burden.
