Aim and

Objectives:

Social, economic and not least environmental pressures are requiring that all waste producers aim to

manage their wastes so that both

the impact on the environment and the cost of disposal are

minimised.

To achieve these dual aims, waste management involves examining why wastes are

produced and taking all reasonable steps to minimise the production of wastes.

If wastes have to be

produ

ced, recycling or reuse options must be explored.

The preferred approach to the production of wastes such as waste avoidance, reduction, reuse and

recycling as well as the philosophy of cleaner production will be discussed in detail together with

conside

rations of on

–

site or off

–

site treatment. Techniques of minimising waste by conducting audits and

evaluating alternatives based on economic, technical and social aspects will be covered in greater

detail. This will be linked to the development and implemen

tation of waste management plans. The

various disposal techniques available for a range of hazardous materials will be discussed, for example

burial, incineration, co

–

generation, pre

–

treatment, storage and immobilisation. In addition, the issues

relating t

o the collection, transport and disposal of municipal wastes will be examined in the context of

their contribution to the overall waste problem in Australia. Various alternatives for reducing and

disposing of this waste stream will be examined.

The focus

of this course is to enable students to develop the appropriate approach to waste

management in general, rather than to focus on specific waste types or waste streams.

There is

potential for students to pursue individual interest via the case study and e

ssay.

Topics to be addressed in this unit include:

Regulatory controls on waste management

Techniques for conducting waste audits

Use of life cycle analysis as a decision making tool

Waste minimisation, reuse and recycling techniques

Cleaner production

techniques
