Management
In a world facing a mounting waste crisis, innovative waste
management strategies are crucial to building a sustainable
future. From shifting consumer habits to leveraging cutting-
edge technology, our approach to waste disposal needs a
radical overhaul. This presentation explores the challenges
and opportunities in transforming how we manage waste,
showcasing innovative solutions for a cleaner, more
sustainable planet.

Waste Reduction: Strategies
for Households and Businesses
1 Reduce Consumption
By buying less, choosing durable products, and avoiding
single-use items, we can significantly reduce waste
generation.

2 Reuse and Repurpose


Repurposing old items for new uses and finding alternative
uses for materials is a key strategy in waste reduction.

3 Composting Food Waste
