Solid Waste Management (2/2)

Well-developed Roadmap for Sustainable Environment

Basic Objectives

This model is designed with the basic aim to set the policy framework, and monitor the practical measures that are obligate part of the waste management and lead to the development of a sustainable environment. Organizations motivate the local institutes and force them to change the work action plans, share knowledge, and set plants of latest technology. Some key points of this roadmap are as follow;

1. It works to minimize the negative aspects on the natural ecosystem, economy and the society.

2. Aims to eradicate or reduce the volume of solid waste generation and works on the resources efficiency that improves the lifestyle of people.

3. Do a partnership with local, regional and sub-national level for the implementation and monitoring of the policies to manage waste and natural resources.

4. They also set bilateral and multilateral kinds of cooperation for mutual sharing of information about sustainable development of the environment.

Principles and Key Strategies

This problem helps to find out different strategic measures for environmental policy of development. Here we discussed some of them;

1- Sustainable Partnership: This partnership must be developed among all the private and local societies. It provides information about processing work and integrates the work properly.

2- Resources Efficiency: It involves the recycle of the waste for the maintenance of natural resources that we may lose due to excessive social activities.

3- Sustainable Consumption: The sustainable consumption cycle should be monitored for sustainable basis.

4- Cleaner Production: Continuous implementation of the “Integrated management system” to improve the product services and efficiency and minimize its risk for human and their environment. Main purpose of cleaner production is to lower not minimizing the use of hazardous chemicals and control their emission. In this way they made companies to contribute less in waste generation activities.

5- Eco Inventions: When we talk about technology, it should be cheap and eco-friendly. It improves the efficiency without any major harm to the environment.

6- Life-cycle Approaches: If we examine the product, it passes through several stages, from the very beginning, transportation of raw material and its extraction, manufacturing, transportation, packaging, sale, etc. Then after it enters into the list of waste management system for the last processing.

Strategic Measures

The waste management system and sustainable development requires a basic approach. At the very start of the management system we focus on the improvements and mange affordable waste collection procedures for better disposal activities. Waste collection is a more difficult step than the management. Measures are specially designed to focus on the planning then integration of the generated waste. These measures are divided into further categories. These are;

• Measures are taken for the sustainable environment and waste management system.

• Measures are taken to promote sustainable production.

• Measures for sustainable consumption.

Measures for sustainable environment

It is used to improve the waste collection procedures and for the establishment of the proper separating units. It works for the recovery of resources and reuse the waste. It also accelerates the bio-degradation of organic waste. Encourage industries to focus on cleaner production. Reduces the risk to human health and establish national standards to recover natural resources.

Measures for sustainable Production

Set the rules and regulations for eco-friendly design that encourages the economical better product. This design manages the chemicals sustainability and cooperates for new skill development. It is an eco-innovation that produce improved products with less use of non-renewable resources especially the plastic.

Measures for sustainable consumption

This section mostly focuses on the consumption and purchasing of the final product. It convinces costumers about quality and sustainability of the product and set an example. Similarly, it is used to develop sustainable jobs that improve the social and national economy.

Recommendations

• We should raise the idea of waste reduction and focus on the reuse and recycling of the products and natural resources.

• We must include the non-renewable waste among the strategies and find legal ways to eradicate this problem.

• Ensure the market and prepare them for the recycled material.

• Ask local authorities to rise funding for the sustainable projects and also raise awareness to local people.

• Proper implementations of the strategies and policies stated by cleaner production and set a panel for its regular monitoring.

• Linked the national and regional organization to work together for development project.

• Should make possible for the implementation of the internationally presenting rules and regulations for the complete development of sectors and assure their sustainability.
