Excerpt

Waste disposal is an important part of the life cycle of a product and is associated with environmental burdens like any other life-cycle stage. Management of waste at the end of life is broadly categorised into the following five systems:
  • Waste minimisation
  • Recycling
  • Biological treatment
  • Thermal treatment
  • Landfill
