Solid and Hazardous waste

This is an approach in which we attempt to control wastes in ways that reduce environmental harm without trying to reduce the amount of waste produced

• waste reduction

• waste management

• integrated waste management

These are produced by mines, farms and industries that supply people with goods and services.

• industrial solid waste

• municipal solid waste

• integrated solid waste

Choose the type of 4R which has a wrong definition.

• refuse-don't use it

• reduce-use less

• reuse-use it over and over

• recycle- using bacteria to treat biodegradable waste

Identify all the strategies to reduce resource use of Waste/Pollution

• Develop products that are easy to repair, reuse, remanufacture, compost or recycle

• Use fee-per-bag waste collection systems

• Change industrial processes to eliminate/reduce use of harmful chemicals

• Redesign manufacturing processes and products to use less material and energy

• Use disposable cups

(a)   an approach with a variety of coordinated strategies for both waste disposal and waste reduction

Check all the examples of solid waste

• paper

• car battery

• cans

• bottles

• food waste

This is an approach in which we produce less solid waste and the waste we do produced are considered to be potential resources that we can reuse, recycle, or compost.

• waste management

• waste reduction

• integrated waste management

These are any discarded material or substance that threatens human health or the environment because it is poisonous, dangerously chemically reactive, corrosive, or flammable.

• solid waste

• hazardous waste

• industrialized waste

This is a type of landfill where solid wastes are spread out in thin layers, compacted, and covered daily with a fresh layer of clay or plastic foam.

• open dump

• composting

• sanitary landfill

A type of recycling where we are using bacteria to treat biodegradable waste.

• composting

• sanitary landfill

• open dump
