What is waste management?

In essence, it is the collection, transportation, monitoring and either disposal or recycling of waste. This applies to all materials that are surplus to need or requirement and that are produced by humans through activity. Waste management is crucial in protecting the health of humans, the environment and keeping areas safe.

There are lots of ways in which waste can be managed. When it comes to items such as paper or glass, it is possible for these to be recycled. It is particularly important nowadays for companies to be environmentally responsible and recycling is one way of doing this.

When it comes to food, along with recycling scraps there are also a number of food banks and charities now available across the UK that rely on donations of unwanted and surplus food for re-distributing it. It is thought that each year, around 18 million tonnes of food finds itself in landfill. Many countries are now pledging to introduce measures to tackle food waste as it was found in 2015 that collectively, the EU disposes of 89 million tonnes of food each year (with the UK coming up as one of the worst).
