Do you know about waste management? | Estates Buzz

When we see flies buzz over the wastes that are dumped close to a residential area, our mind pops out a chat balloon with so many questions unanswered or unattended.  

Why people dump wastes here? why the government isn't taking care of waste management? oooh, the foul smell. how to get rid of it? 

Climbing over decades and decades, still, some metropolitan cities fail to follow waste management practices. Day by day the consumption of retail goods, food products, usage of electronic devices increasing abnormally and all those wastes end up at the corner of every street again unattended or failed to dispose at the right place.

At a stretch worldwide, an average waste produced by a person per day was from 100 gm - 4.5 Kg. What happens if the entire world of 7.9 billion people dumped waste without waste management practices at the corner or end of the street of every state in the country? The country or state would drown, obviously.

Every 1gm of waste produced, either it should be from home or industry, mostly. So home and industries must follow waste management practices to avoid dumping to let the slate clean. (Well the word State could also be a right replacement if you wish) No! then, Hakuna matata!

In the year 2016, Ministries of Environment proposed a change in the rule for Solid Waste Management. Those are... 

To organize wastes at the source:

Modern ways of channelizing the wastes are Domestic hazardous, dry, and biodegradable. The government decides that it would be impossible to segregate the waste at the waste disposal yard on the outskirts.

And it would incur huge investments in case of recycling and reusing in some other form. The resulting cost-cutting way of waste management is to cut off all sorts of wastes dumping together by segregating the three major forms of wastes in two channels. Organize the wastes and collect them in two different bins.

One is for WET WASTE and the other is for DRY WASTE.

Wet & Dry Wastes:

Wet wastes were mostly sourced from the Kitchen like food, vegetable wastes, meat, and liquid residues, rotten foodstuffs. Wet wastes are mostly biodegradable and naturally decomposes on the soil.

Dry wastes were of various types. They are E-waste, toxic and recyclable wastes.

E-wastes comprises electronic goods, computer parts, mobiles, electrical components like wires, bulbs, tube lights, etc.

Toxic wastes referred to be the hazardous waste and primary pollutants to the atmosphere. Toxic wastes are pesticides, fertilizers, industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical disposals like broken syringes, expired drugs.

Recyclables wastes are non-biodegradable and are recycled to reuse in another form. They are clothes, paper products, metal, iron, glass, and plastics.

Nowadays waste management practices mostly rely on the concept called Reuse, Reduce & Recycle. Most industries follow the same concept so as to overcome waste dumping and it is found to be cost-effective. Let us know some of the tips about reuse, reduce and recycle so that it might help individuals to carry out waste management practices.

Here we are...

Tips to Reuse products:

1) Cloth bags or jute bags can help to buy products from stores by avoiding the distribution of plastic carry bags at the point of sale. The daily habit of bringing a bag with you to the store might cultivate the habit in others as well.

2) Save plastic carry bags, foils, and reuse them in another effective way avoids procuring fresh carry bags from stores

3) Using resealable/airtight containers can help rather than a Plastic wrapper.

4) Donate old clothes to charities or orphanages, so that they can spend the donated money in another effective or economical way to boost their lifestyle.

Tips to Reduce products:

1) Instead of buying in retail, buy products in bulk can help to reduce the covers/wrapper for every product.

2) Use cloth napkins/towels so as to avoid dumping tissue papers.

3) Using an email system reduces the expenditure on paper and it is economical as well.

4) Buy branded/durable goods, electronic devices and use them to their ultimate life.

5) Repairing goods can extend the life to reuse and reduce the purchase of the new products.

Tips to Recycle products:

1) Use recycled paper notebooks, pencils for scribbling or calculations. This might help students for practicing or exam preparations.

2) Recycled plastics/polyester yarn took a new form of clothes like T-shirts, sweaters, fleece jackets, sleeping bags, and carpets. Use such recycled products instead of new merchandise.

3) Sell/buy used books at book stores.

4) Sell recyclables at collection centres

Nowadays most of the city developers' projects come up with a mandate to regulate the waste disposals from the tenants/property owners and segregate it from the source or even have their own unit of recycling wastes.

These are some of the easiest waste management practices, even a common man can follow and save huge waste disposals to let the environment unpolluted.

Let's start following today for a cleaner tomorrow!
