Sustainable Waste Management: Best Practices and Strategies
Why Choose this Training Course?
Solid and hazardous waste management is the practice of handling, treating, and disposing of waste materials in a way that minimizes their impact on human health and the environment. The proper management of waste is essential to protect public health, prevent pollution, conserve resources, and promote sustainable development. Solid waste includes a wide range of materials, such as household garbage, industrial waste, construction debris, and electronic waste.
Hazardous waste, on the other hand, refers to waste that poses a threat to human health or the environment, such as chemicals, medical waste, and radioactive materials. Effective waste management involves a range of activities, including waste reduction, recycling, treatment, and disposal, as well as the development of policies and regulations to ensure the safe and responsible handling of waste.
Solid and hazardous waste management is a critical field that focuses on the proper handling, treatment, and disposal of waste to minimize its environmental and health impacts.
This AZTech training course provides an overview of solid and hazardous waste, its sources and characterization, collection and transportation, treatment and disposal methods, recycling and resource recovery, and relevant regulations and policies.
