Environmental Waste

 A natural a part of the life cycle, waste occurs when any organism returns substances to the environment. Living things absorb raw materials and excrete wastes that are recycled by other living organ­isms. However, humans produce a further flow of fabric residues that might overload the capacity of natural recy­cling processes, so these wastes must be managed so as to scale back their effect on our aesthetics, health, or the environment. No society is immune from day-to-day issues related to waste disposal. How waste is handled often depends on its source and characteristics, also as any local, state, and federal regulations that govern its management. Practices generally differ for residences and industries, in urban and rural areas, and for developed and developing countries. Waste collected from residences, commercial buildings, institutions like hospitals and schools, and lightweight indus­trial operations is most frequently categorized as municipal solid waste. MSW consists primarily of paper, containers and packaging, food wastes, yard trimmings, and other inorganic wastes. Municipal solid waste also can include industrial sludge, classified as hazardous or non-hazardous, resulting from a good array of mining, construction, and manufacturing processes.
