SECTION 2 WASTE MANAGEMENT AND
RESOURCE RECOVERY
STRATEGY FOR UNIVERSITY
TUN HUSSEIN ONN MALAYSIA
PRESENTERS MATRICS NO
Materials are made available to the resource recovery market through aggregation and
consolidation of volumes to create viability in recovering valuable resources from
waste.
Goal 2
Goal 3
Waste and resource recovery facilities including landfills are established and managed
over their lifetime to provide east economic, community, environment and public
health outcomes for local communities and the state and ensure their Impacts are not
disproportionately felt across communities.
Goal 4
Landfills will only be for receiving and treating waste streams from which all materials
that can be viably recovered have been extracted.
WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY
Aim To minimize the amount of waste from entering the
landfill/dump sites.
Three top initiatives in the waste management hierarchy is the 3Rs
initiative, i.e. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Main objective To minimize the environmental effects of waste
disposal.
This hierarchy is used as a main framework to develop waste
management policies.
WASTE MANAGEMENT METHOD
Suitable methods of waste management that can be implemented in
UTHM are reuse and recycle.
Reuse Re-employment of materials to be used in the same application
or to be used in lower grade application. To reuse is to use an item more
than once.
Recycle Using a waste material for another purpose, treating and
reusing it in the same process. Recycling is a series of activities that
includes the collection of used, reused, or unused items that would
otherwise be considered waste and remanufacturing the recycled raw
materials into new products.
FIVE-STEP PROCESS FOR REDUCING
WASTE AND RECYCLING AT CAMPUSES
1. Establish a green council. Get commitments from all
departments.
2. Conduct an assessment. Find out what waste is being
generated, where it's coming from, what is currently being
done and what you want to be doing.
3. Identify opportunities. Find ways to dispose of as much
trash as possible without sending it to landfill.
4. Implement programs. Create programs that are specific to
things like sporting events.
5. Measure and report. Find out what is being recycled,
identify gaps in programs and evaluate if new efforts are
needed.
