Self Administered Questionnaire

The world's population growth, increasing urbanization and rising standards of living are some of the factors influencing waste generation in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect primary data of the randomly selected 100 households. These households were provided with five (5)polythene bags to separate their daily wastes during the period of fourteen (14) days. The researcher visits each household in the evening to collect the polythene bags. A sample size, adequate to estimate the value with adequate precision was calculated from three residential neighborhoods (low, medium and high cost) The rate of waste generated from recyclable items are 45.51% (1,201.61 kg), followed by food wastes with 33.98% (897.18 kg) and non-recyclable items with 20.51% (541.54 kg). Therefore, the aim of this paper is to understand the waste generation and waste composition in relation to the willingness of the households and the objective are (i) to establish the nature of the waste generation and composition per/day; and (ii) to identify the current stakeholders involved in recycling material. The results clearly show that 96% of respondents are willing to participate in any program for waste minimization. This also indirectly indicates the lifestyle of the household.

Goals And Objectives

The development of the waste minimization program for Amoco Oil Company's refineries is discussed, from its conception through its evolution and present-day status. Beginning with a commitment from top management, a corporate waste minimization mission was defined; goals and objectives were set; and a program was outlined. In 1987, a task force was formed to evaluate the current refining system waste minimization activities and to establish a program baseline. A waste minimization coordinator was tasked with defining a program to update current activities and to keep the refining system focused on meeting the established objectives. This includes educating the refining system on waste minimization definitions and issues; effectively communicating goals, ideas, and methods; and team building to maintain enthusiasm. The role of Amoco's R&D department in the waste minimization program is presented, including the development of software to track waste generation, processing, disposal, and costs. Finally, briefcase-studies of successfully implemented source control and resource recovery projects are presented.
