	Waste management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local aesthetics or amenity.
		Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential, industrial, and commercial producers.
		Waste management for non-hazardous residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.

		Whatever fuel is used, these wastes must be managed in ways which safeguard human health and minimise their impact on the environment.
		The waste is either concentrated and then isolated, or it is diluted to acceptable levels and then discharged to the environment.
		Delay-and-decay however is unique to radioactive waste management; it means that the waste is stored and its radioactivity is allowed to decrease naturally through decay of the radioisotopes in it.

	Waste: Industrial Waste Management
		Before substantial state and federal regulation of waste began in the late 1970s, most industrial waste was disposed of in landfills, stored in surface impoundments such as lagoons or pits, discharged into surface waters with little or no treatment, or burned.
		Whether on-site or off-site, industrial solid waste can be disposed of through the use of municipal and industrial wastewater facilities; land disposal facilities such as landfills, waste pits—principally for petroleum exploration waste—and deep underground injection wells; and incineration or waste-to-energy incineration facilities like cement kilns.
		Nearly 99 percent of hazardous wastes are managed on site at the facility itself or treated and discharged through a wastewater treatment facility.

		OECD is tackling the most challenging issues regarding waste today: the prevention and minimisation of waste generation (which continues to grow at the same rate as GDP or consumption); and the management of unavoidable waste in an environmentally sound and economically efficient way.
