Integrated Solid waste management

MaKSPH

The document defines waste according to the Basel Convention and classifies solid wastes based on their properties (biodegradable/non-biodegradable) and effects on human health and the environment (hazardous/non-hazardous). It explores various sources of solid waste, including households, commerce, industry, agriculture, and fisheries. The core of the document focuses on the principles of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM), emphasizing the waste management hierarchy, resource recovery (materials and energy), and the development of ISWM plans through stakeholder consultations and scenario planning.
