Waste Management
What are waste ? –
Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which
is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use.
Disposal means ? –
Any operations which may lead to resource recovery , recycling, reclamation direct
reuse or alternative usage

Zero waste management
What is the meaning of zero waste management? –
• Zero Waste means designing and managing
products and processes to systematically avoid
and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste
and materials, conserve and recover all resources,
and not burn or bury them
• Zero waste is a set of principles focused on waste
prevention that encourages the redesign of
resource life cycles so that all products are reused.
The goal is for no trash to be sent to landfills,
incinerators or the ocean. Currently, only 9% of
plastic is actually recycled.

Pollution control
• Pollution control, in environmental
engineering, any of a variety of means
employed to limit damage done to the
environment by the discharge of harmful
substances and energies. Specific means
of pollution control might include refuse
disposal systems such as sanitary
landfills, emission control systems for
automobiles, sedimentation
tanks in sewerage systems,
the electrostatic precipitation of
impurities from industrial gas, or the
practice of recycling.

Global warming
• Global warming is the long-term heating
of Earth's climate system observed since
the pre-industrial period (between 1850
and 1900) due to human activities,
primarily fossil fuel burning, which
increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas
levels in Earth's atmosphere.
• Global warming occurs when carbon
dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants
collect in the atmosphere and absorb
sunlight and solar radiation that have
bounced off the earth’s surface.

Causes of global warming
Industrial Activity
Variations in the Sun's Intensity
Agricultural Activity
Deforestation
Earth's Own Feedback Loop
32. India’s Largest Integrated Service’s company
Examples of Global Warming
1. Increased temperatures cause polar
ice caps to melt.
2. Increased temperatures cause glaciers
to melt and retreat faster than usual.
3. The addition of melt water into the
oceans causes climate change.
4. Adding melt water to the oceans
causes the water levels to rise.
5. Rising sea levels could cause more
flooding in coastal communities.

TIPS for Go green
1. Go Digital
The more you do online, the less you need paper. Think about if you can send
emails instead of letters or if you need to print files or if you can save them
on your computer (or SharePoint if you’re based in a RLO office)
2. Switch lights off
One of the simplest ways to reduce energy consumption is to switch lights off
when you leave a room. If it’s sunny outside open up the blinds and make the
most of natural light instead.
3. Reuse before recycle
Before you get gung-ho about recycling think about can you re-use items
first? Can you print on both sides of paper or can you re-use as scrap paper
for note taking or shopping lists?
37. India’s Largest Integrated Service’s company
4. Get sharing
Does everyone in the office or service need their own stapler, hole punch, scissors,
etc.? Of course not! Save money and unnecessary manufacture by using less in the
first place. Rather than buying new stationery, see if you can get refills instead.
5. Switch computers off
Both in services and offices make sure computers are switched off when you’re not
using them rather than just leaving them on standby – you’d be amazed how much
energy this saves!
6. Recycle
Make sure you recycle what you can. RLO offices have green bins to recycle paper
and most councils will collect recycled materials such as plastic and cardboard from
residential services so make sure you sort out waste before throwing in the bin.
7. Cut unnecessary travel
Consider if you can use the RLO Skype or teleconference facilities instead of
travelling in the first place. Not only is this good for the environment but also saves
you time and money too!

8. Save water
Only use as much water as you need, saving both water and the energy needed to
heat it when it comes to cups of tea and baths etc. Plus did you know you can get
dual-flush toilets or water saving devices for toilet cisterns which reduce water per
flush.
9. Green the commute
Can you car share, use public transport, walk or ride a bike instead of jumping in the
car? This often provides a great chance to integrate with the community or get to
know your colleagues better too!
10. Bring your own lunch
Bringing lunches to work in reusable containers is probably the greenest (and
healthiest) way to eat at work. Buying lunches everyday almost inevitably ends up
with a miniature mountain of packaging waste and is way more expensive than
making your own too!
