7 Principles of Solid Waste Management
- Reuse: Materials should be reused after their initial use for other practical purposes. For example, glass jars, containers, and cloth bags can be repurposed instead of being thrown away.
- Refuse: Avoid using articles made of non-degradable materials like plastic and thermocol. By refusing such items, we can reduce their production and prevent environmental harm. For example, opt for cloth or paper bags instead of plastic bags.
- Recycle: Recycling involves processing waste materials to create useful products. For example, old paper can be recycled into new paper products, and broken glass can be melted and reshaped into new glass items.
- Rethink: Rethink our daily habits and activities to reduce waste and adopt sustainable alternatives. This includes questioning the need for certain items and evaluating their long-term impact on the environment. For example, choose reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles.
- Reduce: Limit the use of resources to prevent wastage. Old materials should be reused whenever possible, and objects that encourage waste (e.g., use-and-throw products) should be avoided. Sharing resources, like tools or appliances, also helps minimise unnecessary production.
- Research: Conducting research to find innovative ways to reuse materials that are temporarily out of use. Developing technologies or methods to convert waste into useful resources. For example, researching the potential of turning waste plastics into fuel or construction materials.
- Regulation and Public Awareness: Adhering to laws and guidelines related to waste management ensures proper waste disposal and reduces pollution. Raising public awareness encourages individuals to participate in waste reduction and recycling efforts. For example, organising awareness programs to educate people about the segregation of waste and eco-friendly practices.
