Waste management has become a tedious task these days. With the advent of a lot of man-made products like plastics and paper, it has become a bigger and burdened responsibility for all of us to understand the nature of the waste before disposing of. This is what you call waste management. Knowing the type of waste will help you to dispose the right way and make sure that it decomposes the way it has to. So here are the different types of wastes that all of us must know.
Types of wastes: Wastes are classified into 5 major types, and they are listed as below. Let us take the list of the good ones Organic wastes: The organic wastes are the most common types of wastes generated in residential and in places of domestic work. They aren’t hazardous and are completely bio-degradable and thereby both the user and environment is safe. These type of wastes can be disposed, and they are easily decomposed. Organic wastes are the safest form of wastes. Recyclable wastes: As the name suggests, there are different types of wastes and the products might fall into any category but since they can be recycled, they are categorised as recyclable waste. Just like organic wastes, these type of waste also does not cause any form of harm to the environment as they are recycled, and the waste doesn’t go into the environment. In fact, it would be very nice if all the non-biodegradable wastes fell into this category, as they will not have an impact on the earth. Solid waste: So this is a simple type that doesn’t require a lot of understanding to explain what it is. All solid waste materials are brought under this category. This shall include plastics, cards, paper and carton box, tins, metal and any other form of solid material that is non-hazardous and cannot be recycled are put under this head. Not all solid wastes are non-biodegradable and hazardous. There are safe ones as well. Liquid wastes: Anything that is liquid in nature and determined as waste can be classified under this head. However, in my perspective, the wastes that are liquid in nature are in most cases unsafe for the environment. Because what we call liquid waste are the type of wastes that are let out from factories and other industrial liquid wastes that are disposed into water bodies causing a lot of contamination and that is the reason as to why I am calling it unsafe. Hazardous Wastes: The wastes that come under hazardous are the ones that are not just non-recyclable and non-biodegradable. They are much worse than that. Hazardous wastes are the one that can contain chemical and could evoke toxic release into the environment. It can also be flammable ones and can highly pollute the environment and cause harm to the locality itself if not properly disposed of.
