Waste Management is a growing global concern in our society. It is the collection, transportation, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of unwanted products. These unwanted products are from us as humans as we tend to throw away what we think we don't need but perhaps could be reused. Our wastes range from food to belongings such as clothes and from what we throw away we can categorize into groups as to where it is from such as industrial, rural and domestic activities. Due to all these wastes we are running out of places to put it as land fill sites and dumps are becoming much too full.
Australia is known as the second highest country in the world in relation to how much waste we throw away. According to facts, approximately 250 million tonnes of waste is produced per year and only 30% is recycled. In order to fix the problem we as individuals must make some changes. For example we could recycle most of our belongings and donate what we no longer want but is still in good quality to charities. This way our waste can be useful to other people. Leesha McKenny discovers and reveals to the Sydney Morning Herald that the $50 million Kemps Creek site run by SITA Environmental Solutions, takes recyclables from domestic waste and produces compost from organic content. Actions like this will help out our growing problem of waste management all around the world.
