Waste sector

In here, I have produce and boxes that are unavoidable.

Dumping of radioactive waste

But this story's not about eliminating it, it's about minimizing it.

(iii) To dispose of less waste in landfill sites (for example, taxing the waste going to landfills).

(i) To produce less waste

(i) Minimize wastes

This is the waste room.

Lost and abandoned fishing gear and related debris

(a) Sources of marine debris (the main land based and sea based sources of marine debris, including fisheries activities) (see A 60 63, paras. 236 240)

You can't get rid of waste.

(iv) Treatment of organic wastes and the disposal of such waste in landfills should be analyzed to identify the best practice.

Derelict fishing gear was identified as the most harmful debris to ocean life.

No other goods shall be transported together with UN No. 3291 other than medical or veterinary wastes.

We welcome the language on marine debris.

(iv) Reduce the amount of organic waste disposed of in landfill sites where this is the best practicable environmental option and

In 1991, a massive explosion and fire occurred at the Klong Tooey port in Bangkok, in an area where imported and abandoned hazardous chemicals and wastes had been stored for years.

highlighting that more efforts shall be made in improving solid waste and refuse disposal.

It was ending up in landfills.

I did another story on marine debris.

Obsoletes

(e) Promotion of efficient use of waste biomass energy the number of facilities and

(ii) To recover value from more of the waste that is produced and

Remember we used to throw things away, and we'd point to away?

Recognizing that marine debris is a global transboundary pollution problem and that, due to the many different types and sources of marine debris, different approaches to their prevention and removal are necessary,

(b) Chemical waste incineration lack of facilities

So, between coal and nuclear, compare their waste products.

It comes in on the side the useful stuff is the dark gray, and the un useful stuff, which is called the rejected energy the waste, goes up to the top.

Domestic wastes are commonly disposed of in landfills and by open burning, with very few domestic waste incinerators being used in the region.

The Conference attaches great importance to resolution 58 60 of the General Assembly on the Prohibition of the Dumping of Radioactive Wastes, and calls upon States to take appropriate measures to prevent any dumping of nuclear or radioactive wastes that would infringe upon the sovereignty of States.

He pointed out that there was a need for a multifaceted approach to marine debris.

Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (London Convention of 1972)

(b) Effects of marine debris (the effects of marine debris on human health, safety, tourism and other economic activities, navigation, marine species, the marine environment and fisheries) (see A 60 63, paras. 241 247)

(c) Financial or other incentives to encourage quot waste to energy quot using clean technologies, the utilization of landfill gas and bio gasification, without detracting from the priority given to the prevention of waste or discouraging other recycling of waste operations

(a) The Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, 1972

(a) Regulation the use of regulations to ensure that waste is prevented at source and to ensure that waste which nevertheless arises is only disposed of in landfill when no opportunities for re use exist.

The alarming UNEP report on marine debris only heightens our concern over the ever growing accumulation of non biodegradable debris in the marine and coastal environments.

(d) Measures to deal with existing marine debris (A 60 63, para.
