Our Generation:
How does it measure up?
The nature and content of the waste stream has changed over many generations, with an increasing complexity and greater diversity of material inputs. Waste generation has also increased per capita.
In order to manage waste we need to measure and monitor it. How do we make sure the data we are collecting does the job?
Waste treatment has evolved to keep pace with the changing waste stream, but waste management continues to present an ongoing challenge, requiring innovation and new approaches.
The waste hierarchy identifies avoidance and reduction as the preferred waste management approaches—but this has proved a tough nut to crack. How do we achieve waste reduction and avoidance? How can we reduce consumption and how would we measure our success?
