With rapid urbanisation and rising incomes, South Africa is facing a massive waste management challenge. South Africans generate roughly 54,2 million tons of general (municipal, commercial, and industrial) waste per year. Of this 54,2 million of tons of waste, a maximum of only 10% is recycled or recovered for other uses, whilst at least 90% is landfilled or dumped
These wastes generate a wide range of toxins that are hazardous to the environment and human life, and need to be carefully treated according to strict waste regulations.
This training is anchored on how to reduce, reuse, recycle and manage waste to protect human health and the natural environment. This training aims to enhance participant’s capacity in the waste management sector for assessing situations, finding solutions, creating and delivering sustainable waste management projects.
