Study Notes

Waste Segregation

Waste segregation involves separating waste into different categories, such as wet waste, dry waste, biodegradable waste, and non-biodegradable waste, to facilitate effective waste management.

Types of Waste

Wet waste refers to organic waste that is heavy in water content, such as food waste, vegetable scraps, and flower waste.
Dry waste includes paper, cardboard, wood, and other non-organic materials.
Biodegradable waste can be decomposed or broken down by living organisms, such as food waste, plant waste, and human waste.
Non-biodegradable waste cannot be broken down by living organisms, such as plastics, glass, and metals.

Importance of Waste Segregation

Waste segregation contributes to reducing pollution by ensuring that waste is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
Waste segregation is considered the key to effective waste management as it enables the recycling of materials, reduces waste sent to landfills, and minimizes pollution.
