Investigation of the composition and amount of waste produced by a Household

Abstract EN

In this investigation a scientific approach was adopted to study the composition of waste and to estimate its amount generated by a household of two people over a period of four weeks.

It has been found that in each society composition of household waste is different depending on the society’s way of life.

It also has been found that the best way to minimise the household waste is to recycle any recyclable material and also composting, and in these ways environment is protected and natural resources is saved and eventually sustainability is fulfilled.
