Stipulating operating criteria in the procedures

Establishing and maintaining procedures related to the identified significant environmental aspects

12

Disposal means
any operation which may lead to resource recovery, recycling, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative uses (Annex IVB of the Basel convention)

14

Municipal waste (Including Household and commercial) Industrial waste (including manufacturing) Hazardous waste Construction and demolition waste Mining waste Waste from Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) Biodegradable municipal waste Packaging waste End of Life vehicles (ELVs) and tyres Agricultural waste
15

Kinds of Wastes
Solid wastes: domestic, commercial and industrial
wastes especially common as co-disposal of wastes plastics, containers, bottles, cans, papers, scrap iron etc Examples:

Liquid Wastes:

wastes in liquid form

Examples: domestic washings, chemicals, oils, waste water from ponds, manufacturing industries and other sources
16

Bio-degradable
can be degraded (paper, wood, fruits and others)

Non-biodegradable
cannot be degraded (plastics, bottles, old machines, cans, styrofoam containers and others)
17

 Hazardous wastes
Substances unsafe to use commercially, industrially, agriculturally, or economically that are shipped, transported to or brought from the country of origin for dumping or disposal in, or in transit through, any part of the territory of the Philippines

Non-hazardous
Substances safe to use commercially, industrially, agriculturally, or economically that are shipped, transported to or brought from the country of origin for dumping or disposal in, or in transit through, any part of the territory of the Philippines

Oil from a leaking pipeline burns in a swamp area of the Niger Delta in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the worst polluted countries in the world

Computer waste are left along a river bank at Yaocuowei village, China. Electonic waste contains 1,000 different substances such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and mercury heavy metals which are highly toxic

Products that run on electricity have the potential to cause damage to human health and the environment if not disposed of in a safe manner. Depending on how e-waste is handled when disposed of and where it is disposed of, certain components of electronic products can be rendered hazardous. For instance, CRTs (cathode ray tubes) from PC monitors contain an average of 1.8 to 3.6 kg of lead, some of which could be released into the environment if not properly handled and recycled

Didyouknow..? People discard computers every two to four years on average. Cell phones have a life-cycle of less than two years in industrialised countries. 315 million PCs will become obsolete in 2004 alone. 130 million mobile phones will be disposed of world-wide in 2005. Each computer screen contains about 20% lead by weight.

According to NAS (National Academy of Sciences):

GHGs (Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are often called greenhouse gases) are accumulating in Earths atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing global mean surface air temperature and subsurface ocean temperature to rise.

(Carbon dioxide CO2- enters the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste, trees and wood products, and also as a result of other chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is also removed from the atmosphere (or sequestered) when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle. Methane CH4- is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills. Nitrous oxide N20- is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste. Fluorinated gases : Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for ozone depleting substances (i.e., CFCs, HCFCs, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases (High GWP gases).

Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea levels and change precipitation and other local climate conditions. Changing regional climates could alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies. This could also affect human health, animals, and many types of ecosystems. 33 Deserts might expand into existing rangelands, and features of some of our national parks might be permanently altered.

According to NAS:
- Some countries are expected to become warmer, although sulfates might limit warming in some areas. - Scientists are unable to determine which parts of those countries will become wetter or drier, but there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, more intense rainstorms, and drier soils. - Whether rainfall increases or decreases cannot be reliably projected for specific areas.

34

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE Reduce Waste

- Reduce office paper waste by implementing a formal policy to duplex all draft reports and by making training manuals and personnel information available electronically.
- Improve product design to use less materials. - Redesign packaging to eliminate excess material while maintaining strength.

- Work with customers to design and implement a packaging return program.

- Switch to reusable transport containers. - Purchase products in bulk.
35

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

Reuse
- Reuse corrugated moving boxes internally. - Reuse office furniture and supplies, such as interoffice envelopes, file folders, and paper. - Use durable towels, tablecloths, napkins, dishes, cups, and glasses.

- Use incoming packaging materials for outgoing shipments.

- Encourage employees to reuse office materials rather than purchase new ones.
36

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

Donate / Exchange
- old books

- old clothes
- old computers - excess building materials - old equipment to local organizations
37

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

Employee Education
- Develop an office recycling procedures packet. - Send out recycling reminders to all employees including environmental articles. - Train employees on recycling practices prior to implementing recycling programs.

- Conduct an ongoing training process as new technologies are introduced and new employees join the institution.

38

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

Preventing Waste - packaging waste reductions and changes in the manufacturing process - use biodegradable materials

39

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

Conduct outreach program adopting an ecologically sound waste management system which includes:
waste reduction segregation at source composting recycling and re-use more efficient collection more environmentally sound disposal

Data released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency shows that somewhere between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year. National Geographic News September 2, 2003
Less than 1% of bags are recycled. It cost more to recycle a bag than to produce a new one.
41

Then
Where Do They Go?
A study in 1975, showed oceangoing vessels together dumped 8 million pounds of plastic annually. The real reason that the world's landfills weren't overflowing with plastic was because most of it ended up in an ocean-fill

42

Plastic bags photodegrade: Over time they break down into smaller, more toxic petro-polymers

43

which eventually contaminate soils and waterways

44

Birds become terminally entangled

Nearly 200 different species of sea life including whales, dolphins, seals and turtles die due to plastic bags

45

If we use a cloth bag, we can save 6 bags a week That's 24 bags a month That's 288 bags a year That's 22,176 bags in an average life time If just 1 out of 5 people in our country did this we would save 1,330,560,000,000 bags over our life time
