GreenBiz 17 Workshop Slides: "Applying Lifecycle Thinking to Zero Waste Goals"GreenBiz Group
For the past twenty-five years, Americans have embraced recycling as an important measurement of environmental performance. The idea that more recycling must be better has spurred the widespread adoption of zero waste goals, developed with the best intentions. However, a focus on recycling as many tons as possible does not always take into account the whole picture of the environmental impact of waste. Join this session to understand how a lifecycle thinking approach can help you develop waste goals and programs for your company that will achieve the greatest environmental benefits and business results.
The 3 r's of waste management my student (raghav duggal)Rita Mitra
The document discusses the 3 Rs approach - reduce, reuse, and recycle - for waste management. It provides examples of ways to reduce waste such as double-sided copying and bulk purchasing.

Solid Waste Management in garments industries in Bangladesh.Tapu Saha
This document discusses solid waste management in the garment industries of Bangladesh. It begins by defining waste and the concepts of waste management. It then discusses the sources of garment waste, the negative environmental impacts of improper waste disposal, and the 3R approach of reduce, reuse, and recycle. The document focuses on recycling of textile waste, outlining the various stages of recycling including fiber reclamation, shredding, and reuse. Recycled textiles can be used to make industrial wiping cloths, mattress filling, car insulation, and more. The goal is to maximize recycling and reuse of garment wastes.
The document discusses health care waste, including its sources, composition, and risks. It defines health care waste as any waste generated by health care establishments, including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and homes. Approximately 75-90% is non-hazardous, similar to household waste, while 10-25% is hazardous and can pose health risks if not properly handled. The document then categorizes and describes different types of health care waste and the potential health hazards they pose if mismanaged.
The document discusses recycling at SMS and why it is important. It notes that the U.S. produces a large amount of trash each year and recycling can help reduce waste. For every ton of paper recycled, 17 trees are saved. Plastic bottles take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. The document encourages recycling common items found at school like paper, cartons, and bottles to help the environment. It states that if an item can be torn, it can likely be recycled.
The document discusses the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling (the 3 Rs). It explains that recycling saves natural resources, reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, saves energy, and creates jobs. Reduction means using less of something or making it smaller. Reusing products extends their life and reduces the need for new products. Practicing the 3 Rs helps reduce garbage and protects the environment. The document encourages readers to reduce waste, reuse items, recycle, buy recycled products, get involved in environmental efforts, and spread awareness of the 3 Rs.

12 Waste Minimization Hacks for the Healthcare Industry
11. Healthcare is unique in that it
produces a wide variety of waste
streams. There are:
• Liquid
• Solid
• Hazardous
• Radioactive
• Air emissions
• Medical
• and more!!
By knowing and classifying all you’re
waste outputs, you can find the best
solution for your company.

When classifying your streams you discover that a lot of the waste in that
stream is not RMW, but instead solid waste. You can now come up with a
strategy to segregate the solid waste and save the money you’d spend on
disposing of it as RMW.
