Abstract
Waste management is the collection of transport, processing,
recycling or disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. All
the waste materials, whether solids, liquid, gaseous or radioactive
all within the remit of waste management. Waste
management is a distinct practice from resource recovery
which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural
resources. Waste management is also carried out to recover
resources from it. Waste management practices can differ for
developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas,
and for residential and industrial producers. Management of
non-hazardous waste residential and institutional waste in
metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local
government authorities, while management for nonhazardous
commercial and industrial waste is usually the
responsibility of the generator subject to local, national or
international authorities. Integrated waste management is a
system of waste disposal that includes separating materials
according to type, and finding the best used for discarded
products, which may or may not include depositing in a
landfill. The IWM score board is a tool for managing an
integrated waste management system and the objective is to
improve solid waste management practices. The Integrated
waste management (IWM) score board has been prepared by
United States Environment Program (UNEP). A case study of
Municipal Solid Waste Management in Kochi Corporation
has been considered here.
