What is the difference between disposal and recycling? Waste management is a cumbersome activity, its ultimate purpose being to reduce the impact of human activities on the planet while limiting the exploitation of natural resources and enhancing the value of waste materials.
In the hierarchy of waste, each word has a clear meaning and a different, non-interchangeable position that can be represented as an upturned pyramid where disposal should be a residual activity.
