Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) Recycling: Recycling is when waste is converted into something useful. Upcycling and downcycling are two common words used when it comes to recycling.
Responsibility & stakeholders: SWM is a municipal function and it is the urban local bodies (ULB) that are directly responsible for it. The ULBs are required to plan, design, operate, and maintain the SWM in their respective cities/towns. Note: Incorrect choice of technology, lack of public participation, financial constraints, institutional weakness, are factors that prevent a ULB from providing satisfactory service. The ULBs need both support and guide to manage the solid waste in a scientific and cost effective manner. |
