The Dirt on Plastic Waste

(viii) Waste processing.

(m) Waste treatment and disposal

One problem waste handling and unemployment.

Fuel production and waste handling technologies have also been developed locally.

And where is this waste handled? Usually in poor communities.

Both canneries have since agreed to treat waste from their operations and then transport it by barge to a designated dumping site 8 kilometres out to sea.

We support the elaboration of an international convention on the safety of radioactive waste management, once the ongoing process of formulating waste management safety fundamentals has resulted in a broad international agreement.

Industrial waste is often discharged into Palestinian land without treatment.

And perhaps one day we'll be able to tackle the problem of solid plastic waste.

(ii) Technologies for sewage and waste treatment and for heat generation from urban wastes

Waste treatment facilities are not typically tourist attractions, but Ankara s novel integrated urban waste management system has rightly attracted global attention.

The following measures are therefore being promoted to improve waste management i) the Waste Treatment Law was amended in 1991 to encourage people to reduce and recycle waste, ii) treatment facilities are being constructed with the aim of reducing landfill volume, and iii) treatment plants are being converted to types that generate less methane.

Although the disposal of radioactive waste is clearly a local matter, the extremely long periods during which some wastes remain active creates a common international interest that radioactive waste anywhere on the planet be responsibly handled.

An example of successful waste management is the reprocessing of PET bottles (made of polyethylene terephthalate) into polyester fibers.

When adjusting emissions from solid waste disposal sites or waste water treatment, the recovery of the methane needs to be considered.
