Waste Management Practices

The hotel sector is one of the key players in developing tourism industry in the islands, and contributing towards islands economy, employment opportunities and the overall development. However, food waste generated by hotels has significantly impacted the environment, social well-being and tourism economy. Sustainable food waste management practices are vital among the business operations of the hotel sector to reduce food waste and operational costs through efficient use of food resources. The aim of this paper is to examine current practice of hotel operators towards sustainable food waste management from purchasing of food resources to food wastes disposal. The data was gathered using structured and self-administered questionnaires, which involved 42 hoteliers from the island of Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark. From the main findings, it was found that there was a lack of emphasis from the hotels on their policy related to wastage of food and unsustainable food consumption pattern by their guests. This reflects on the lack of practices towards sustainable food waste management by the hotel sector. Therefore, planning for sustainable food waste management on island hotels is essential to ensure the protection of environmental resources and to reduce the problem regarding limited capacity landfills on the islands.

Waste Management Practices

The perplexing problem of sustainable practices for proper waste disposal, across all levels of society, is frequently disregarded in developing countries. The paper presents the findings of an exploratory study of 94 participants (pupils and teachers) at a private school in Lusaka, Zambia on school-based waste management practices. The article begins with general background information on the current waste management practices in developing nations. Next, school recycling programs are introduced, with a specific reference to waste management in Zambia. An explanation of our exploratory case study on waste management at Mary Queen of Peace Girl's school in Lusaka Zambia follows. The contributions of the school community to recycling practices, achieved through a three-phase actioned research approach to education for sustainability, are detailed. Final results are reported highlighting the role of school culture transformation, radically changing from reliance on waste disposal toward practices of waste recycling.

The study is based on surveying methodology conducted by designing a questionnaire to bring out the current methods practiced for food waste disposal in restaurants in the locality.

Waste Management Practices

This paper examines the influence of population growth on waste generation in Lagos metropolis, African’s most populous urban conglomeration. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study analyses the pattern of household waste disposal, collection and transportation in Lagos State. It also examines the public-private partnership strategy adopted in waste management. The findings show that population growth significantly influences waste generation and management in Lagos metropolis. As the population increased, the volume of waste generated also increased in each LGA of Lagos State. The public-private partnership strategy has been effective in managing waste, but the Lagos State Waste Management Authority oversight was adjudged as less than satisfactory. The paper concludes that intervention is needed in terms of educating the growing population of the Lagos metropolis on the best waste management practices. It highlights the need for a more efficient and effective publicprivate partnership collaboration to solve this perennial social problem.
