    Study Notes

    Module 5: Environment and Ecological Solid Waste Management

    • Environment is a complex system of living and non-living things interacting. Surroundings impact individuals.
    • Ecological solid waste management is a zero-waste system that promotes total community recycling to create a clean and sanitary environment.
    • RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) considers waste a resource, emphasizing recycling, reuse, and composting to minimize waste.
    • Proper waste segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment, and disposal (excluding incineration) are necessary.
    • Local governments (LGUs), even at barangay level, are empowered to create solid waste management communities.

    Specific Objectives of Ecological Waste Management

    • Use appropriate technology at waste disposal sites.
    • Separate compostable and non-compostable waste.
    • Transform waste into income-generating resources.

    Methodology of the Five F's Total Recycling

    • Two kinds of solid waste:
      • Non-biodegradable (e.g., factory returnable materials like paper, cardboard, plastic, rubber, glass, bottles, mirrors, metals).
      • Biodegradable (e.g., feed, fertilizer, fuel, filling materials).
    • Different productive/useful/healthful uses of each material type:
      • Factory recyclables: handicrafts, junk shops
      • Feed materials: pets, livestock, compost
      • Fertilizer materials: enrich soil, compost
      • Fuel materials: cooking
      • Filling materials: compacted in plastic bags, buried

    Benefits of Ecological Solid Waste Management

    • Reduces waste in landfills by decreasing the volume of waste going to landfills.
    • Minimizes environmental impacts.
    • Reduces greenhouse gases and air pollution by proper waste disposal.
    • Increases job opportunities for cottage industries (e.g., handicrafts, house décor, toys).

    Module 6: Sources and Factors Affecting Solid Waste Generation

    • Household waste: Generated from daily activities (e.g., food scraps, old clothes, broken furniture).

    • Commercial/Industrial waste: Generated by businesses, industries, and commercial establishments (e.g., restaurant food waste, packaging materials, paper waste, chemicals/scrap metals).

    • Farm/Agricultural waste: Generated from agricultural activities (e.g., farm manure).

    • Factors affecting waste generation:

      • Population size and density
      • Economic development (higher consumption levels)
      • Consumer behavior and choices (single-use products, convenience foods)
      • Technological advancements (both increasing and reducing waste)
      • Packaging and product design

    Module 5 and 6 - Additional Points (From the OCR)

    • Reduce waste: Begin by questioning the need for each item

    • Reuse items instead of throwing them away

    • Recycle waste into valuable resources

    • Institutional wastes: Waste from institutions (e.g., schools, hospitals, prisons) (Examples: paper, disposable syringes, bandages)

    Module 6 - Factors affecting waste generation

    • Population size & density (higher waste in densely populated areas).
    • Economic development (wealthier areas generally produce more waste).
    • Consumer choices (single-use products, convenience foods increase waste).
    • Technology advancements (creating or reducing waste types).
    • Product packaging (excessive packaging significantly impacts waste volume).

    Module 6 - Specific Types of Waste

    • Spoiled produce
    • Institutional wastes
