Individuals dealing with medical waste stream management in my immediate area concur that incineration of medical and biomedical waste is the safest, most expedient and economically feasible method. While visionary discretion should be mandated at the most primary level, the vision must take into account immediate applicable processes then progressing to academic scrutiny of national and global applications based on organized research. A review of literature was conducted on existing scholarly articles, in order to ascertain the relevance of approaches to provide a sound perspective of the necessary considerations in developing a management system that can be adjusted and

Solid wastes are any abandoned or discarded materials, thus solid wastes can be liquid, solid, semi-solid or containerized gaseous material. The solid waste contains municipal garbage, waste tires, industrial waste, agricultural refuse, toys and furniture, oil and so on. Normally, The Municipal Solid Waste contains four components, which are recycling, composting, disposal and waste to energy. The biggest issue facing Toronto in the near feature would be the solid waste issue because solid waste would cause pollution, land lacks and health problems. The way to address the waste problem would be collaborating with the government through specific method and program such as invented new technology, increase involvement of public engagement and use of geography information system and mathematic model. There are some evidences show that solid waste would be the serious problem. Toronto’s 2015 Vital Signs Report points that “After increases over three years in the amount of residential waste generated (from 799,812 tonnes in 2011 to 815,450 in 2012 and 823,743 in 2013), 2014 saw a small 2.3% decrease from 2013 (to 804,369 tonnes).”(Toronto Foundation, p158). At the meantime, it seems that Toronto issues are getting worse because it is hard to find landfill site, the rising disposal costs relate to landfill and the way that transport the waste to Michigan would cause high transportation cost.

The author gives a historical analysis on the management of waste in the United States shifting from a historical description to an analysis of the general influence of political and economic forces that shape the way we manage waste today. Throughout most of history, recycling has primarily occurred as a result of a scarcity of material. This becomes clear in the first chapter where the author talks about how the availability of pulpwood and rags was extremely low due to war outcome, therefore the government called upon the citizens to supply old rags in exchange of other goods. These are the first steps of recycling in the United States. The author explains that first the word “recirculate” was used to describe the recirculation of water

For a great majority of the households in America, one universal item that is found in almost every home is a trashcan lined with a white or black drawstring bag. Americans use billions of these trash bags each year, disposing of food and other waste. Often times, an average family will go through three to four of these bags each week. While there is nothing initially puzzling about the use of garbage bags, it does call into question why a rival product that is cheaper and reusable has yet to catch on in American markets. After all, more and more Americans are turning to “greener” lifestyles, seeking to reduce their environmental footprint while simultaneously cutting back on unnecessary expenses.

The factories that make the garbage that we purchase give off a ton of pollution. A lot of those factories work with plastic which is terrible for the environment. The air pollution levels rose fourteen percent from 1990 to 2008. The gas let out into the air and the products made just create more problems for the world. The factories waste energy and natural resources and eventually we won’t have anything to make other products that would be more useful. So much money goes into making useless garbage and that money could be used to make more useful and important things like new roads and new businesses.

Waste Management, Inc., incorporated in 1968, had become a leader in the industry of waste management services ranging from industrial operations to curbside collection. This company had become synonymous with many different kinds of disposal services that allowed for the company to grow and grow with a solid base over the course of twenty-eight years. Finally in 1996, the company reported total assets of almost $20 billion with net income close to $200 million.

We graduate college, get married, have a couple kids, and settle into life. By age 30, we are living the good life. However, the chances are that 30 years from today our waste management system will be falling apart. By falling apart, I mean literally coming apart at the seams. There are at least 2,900 active Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills in the US which use Flexible Membrane Liners that average 1 leak per 1000 feet of seam. In addition, leaks can result from manufacturing and installation errors. An alarming fact is that there has been little to no research on the effects of chemicals and hazardous waste coming in contact with these liners. (Rachel) This is just one of the many reasons that we need to rethink and redesign our current systems of waste management and in doing so develop a standardized system which measures its effectiveness.

Medical institutions such as hospitals, clinics and doctors’ surgery rooms undertake numerous types of medical assessments and procedures on a daily basis; however some Infectious waste can also produced in maternity homes and research institutes (Kumar, et al., 2015).
