Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to waste materials due to human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is also carried out to recover resources from it. Waste management concerns solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, which requires different methods and expertise.
The company is against all forms of environmental pollution and degradation due to accumulation of waste, resulting in the depletion of natural resources. Local, regional, and global air pollution; accumulation and distribution of toxic wastes; destruction and depletion of forests, soil, and water; depletion of the ozone layer and emission of "green house" gases threaten the survival of humans and thousands of other living species, the integrity of the earth and its biodiversity, the security of nations, and the heritage of future generations.
