Technical Discussion over Three Means of Waste Management

 Farah Bani Affan

The present investigation is an effort to compare between three different ways of waste management: Recycling/ re-use, incineration and composting. Re-use gives the impression to have more beneficial factors than the other methods. Nevertheless, incineration is regarded as an effective alternative that converts waste into energy, hence improves the economy and preserve the environment by the use of modern gas-cleaning technology. Recycling has been found to be of less social demand, and composting has higher negative environmental impact and deals with smaller amounts of waste for longer periods of time.
