This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Waste Segregation Strategies. It covers the global waste management challenges and importance of effective waste segregation; the classification of waste types (organic, inorganic, hazardous, non-hazardous) and their characteristics; and the basic principles and benefits of segregating waste at the source including regulatory framework for waste management. Further, the course will also discuss the environmental consequences of improper waste handling and disposal; the key infrastructure elements needed for effective segregation at source, collection and processing stages; the waste segregation in residential communities; the technological tools and innovations that support waste segregation and management; the best practices in the collection and safe transportation of different types of segregated waste; and the economics of waste segregation, technologies for treating and recycling segregated waste and special considerations and protocols for handling hazardous waste. During this interactive course, participants will learn the metrics and methodologies for assessing the performance of waste segregation initiatives; the sustainable practices that reduce waste generation and promote recycling and reuse; how to craft and advocate for policies that enforce and enhance waste segregation and management; the emerging global trends and innovative practices in waste management; building partnerships among government, private sector, NGOs and communities; the effective communication and education campaigns to raise awareness about waste segregation; how waste segregation fits into the broader concept of a circular economy and striving towards zero waste; how improved waste management and segregation can mitigate climate change impacts; and the future technological advancements and their potential impact on waste segregation strategies.
