Waste Management Systems

Waste management may differ according to the living habits of the society and the geographical characteristics of the region. However, the main goal is to dispose of waste without harming the environment and to reuse it as much as possible. For this, various methods are applied:

  • Waste Reduction: Environmental impacts and costs are reduced by taking measures to prevent waste generation from the very beginning.
  • Recycling: It is ensured that materials such as plastic, glass, metal, paper are separated and recycled.
  • Waste Recycling: Converting waste into a different energy source by biological, chemical or physical methods (e.g. biogas production).
  • Recycling: Making wastes reusable by undergoing some processes.
  • Landfill: Controlled burial of non-recyclable wastes in private areas.
