WASTE MANAGEMENT and RESOURCE CONSERVATION

Environmental Management System Model EMS is a process of continual improvement in which an organization is constantly reviewing and revising the system

WASTE MANAGEMENT is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources.

Definition of Terms Waste “substances or objects which are disposed of or are intended to be disposed of or are required to be disposed of by the provisions of the law”. Disposal “any operation which may lead to resource recovery, recycling, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative uses”.

Waste Hierarchy Reduce Reuse Recycle

Reduce Also known as waste minimization. To buy less and use less. To lessen the amount of resources used and lessen the amount of waste produced.

Reuse elements of the discarded item are used again. Counterpart of disposable products.

Recycle Process where discards are separated into materials that may be incorporated into new products. is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials.

Resource Development

Yokohama Tire Philippines, through composting, has reduced expenses on waste. It requires employees to surrender empty cartridges, boxes and even pens before they get a fresh batch. –Before, it spent P300,000 to papy haulers to dispose of waste. Today, it spends just P300 on the composting agent. Smart Communications recycle the 4 tons of tarpaulins it uses for advertizing and publicity. Gawad Kalinga communities turn the tarpaulins into bags.

Resource Development Banco de Oro reduced energy consumption by 90 percent in its illuminated signage in 70 branches – simply by using LED lights instead of the conventional fluorescent bulbs. SM encourages Green Bags to reduce plastic shopping bags and its solid waste management program has reduced the volume of soil waste; for every truckload of garbage, 80 percent are recyclable.

Resource Development At the Bayer Cropscience Plant, less than 1 percent is non- recyclable. Scrap metals are re-used and re-fabricated as sun-dryers, glove stands and clotheslines for factory suits. Fiber drums are stylized and made into street signs, furniture for receiving areas and plant pots. United Pulp and Paper Company, which uses 100-percent recycled paper, turns sludge, its main waste, into fiber and boiler fuel, saving on energy cost.
