#Solid Waste Management

Mismanagement of waste is part of the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste. Every year, billions of tonnes of municipal waste are generated, of which at least one-third is not managed in an environmentally sustainable manner. To tackle waste pollution, integrated solid waste management strategies that include a rights-based approach must be implemented at national, regional, and city levels to envision a zero-waste future. Watch some positive actions that can be taken to #BeatWastePollution.

Imagine one day you open your kitchen and find all your masalas mixed together — rai, jeera, methi, sauf… everything in one box. Now sit down and try separating each seed back again. Frustrating, right? Time-consuming. Almost impossible. That’s exactly what waste management looks like at a city level. We mix it in seconds at home and someone else spends hours separating it at the sorting line. Segregation isn’t a big environmental act. It’s basic responsibility. It’s respect for the people handling our waste. Sort at home. Don’t outsource your mess. #sustainability #zerowaste #ecofriendly #plastic #noplanetb

We don’t see it. So we think it doesn’t exist. Every city in India has its own kachre ka pahad. Hidden on the outskirts. Breathing toxic air. Leaching poison into soil and groundwater. And we still say — “Ek plastic se kya farak padta hai?” As a Solid Waste Management Professional, I can tell you this clearly — Landfills are not normal. They are a sign that segregation failed. Processing failed. Accountability failed. Swachh Bharat sirf safai drive nahi hai. It’s daily discipline. Segregate. Compost. Reduce. Question the system. Because “away” does not exist. It all comes back to us.

E-waste contains many different toxic substances, which if not treated properly are hazardous to the environment and health as they release toxic pollutants, including arsenic, mercury, lead and cadmium that contaminate the air, soil, dust, and water. But e-waste can easily be recycled! Here’s how: 1. Visit www.hulladek.in and schedule a pick-up or call or just call 1800-212-7880 2. Check with your local recycler if they take E-waste and give it to them. See my highlight ‘recycling’ for a reel on city wise recyclers in India Recycling E-waste not only protects the environment and human health but also helps to reuse precious materials and reduces mining for these materials. #recycle #ewasterecycling

A bin shouldn’t exist. For @mcmasterchef, that realization changed everything. In our interview, Douglas reflects on the moment he began rethinking our relationship with food and how small shifts can drive meaningful environmental impact. What happens when we reconnect with where our food comes from? Douglas has an answer. To see how that thinking translates into action, watch his episode of @wbd Change Drivers.

What would you say causes the most dry waste in your house? 😅 mine is definitely packaging waste ! I use the @recycle_bintix app to hand over the recycling but I also know that there are a lot of other options like @scrapuncle who would help you with your dry waste. If you use any other apps/platforms please mention in the comments along with your city :) let’s make recycling a habit so less is going to our landfills ✨ . . . . #recycling #sustainable #sustainability #recycle #wastesegregation

These results honestly shocked us!! 😱 Welcome to part 2 of the “Is This Compostable” series! We’ve all seen “biodegradable” and “compostable” kitchenware out there, but how well do they REALLY break down? We’re testing it out in our large scale compost environment to find out the truth. After nine days, the plates and forks became more brittle and showed signs of breaking down, but they didn’t compost completely. However, we DID place a compostable cup in here and that was no where to be found! It kind of shocked us! What do you think? What should we compost next? 🤪 #compost #compostfacility #greenwasterecycling #wastemanagement #reducereuserecycle #smartrecycling #recycle #sustainability #reducereuse #compostexperiment #greenwaste #organics #daviscountyutah #laytonutah #utahsustainability #environmentalpractices

Reposted from @vrikshitfoundation This is what happens when we don’t segregate OUR waste! If we humans don’t segregate our waste, some other humans have to do it. If we can’t put our hands in our own waste, why would you want or expect someone else to put their hands in your waste? Can we start segregating more and more? Video by @shashwat_living - - - What do you mean by waste segregation? Waste segregation means keeping wet and dry wastes separately, so that dry can be recycled and wet waste can be composted. Why should I do it? So that it reduces waste that reaches landfills and reduces pollution to air and water, so that different processes like composting, recycling, and incineration can be applied to other kinds of waste. How do I practice waste management at home? • Keep separate containers for dry and wet waste in the kitchen • Keep two bags for dry waste collection - paper and plastic. • Keep plastic from the kitchen clean and dry and drop into the dry waste bin. • Keep glass /plastic containers rinsed of food matter • Send wet waste out of the home daily or better, Compost it! • Store and send dry waste out of the home, once a week. • Keep a paper bag for throwing the sanitary waste • Use paper lining for your bins instead of garbage liners. • Identify recyclers/upcyclers in your city. Many are available on google.
