"Our Waste affects all species on the Planet"
“The amount of waste reflects on society's production and consumption patterns
An indicator on the amount of waste generated is, therefore, a first approximation of environmental pressure on air, water, and land resources. The type of waste and waste handling facilities will, of course, greatly influence the actual impact.
A sustainable waste management program will strive to minimize the amount of waste, maximize the amount of reuse and recycling, and promote appropriate waste disposal and treatment”.
