Material que no representa una utilidad o un valor económico para el dueño, el dueño se convierte por ende en generador de residuos. Desde el punto de vista legislativo lo mas complicado respecto a la gestión de residuos, es que se trata intrínsicamente de un termino subjetivo, que depende del punto de vista de los actores involucrados (Essentially generator and watchdog)
The waste can be classified in several ways, either by state, home or property
state Index
A waste is defined as the physical state in which it is. There are therefore three types of waste from this point of view of solid, liquid and gaseous, it is important to note that the actual extent of this classification can be established on a purely descriptive or, as is done in practice, in the form of management associated for example a drum with used oil is considered waste, is intrinsically a liquid, but their management will be as a solid it is transported by truck rather than a hydraulic drive system.
Overall waste can also be characterized by its composition and generation characteristics.
Index origin
residue can be defined by the activity in which it occurred, it is essentially a sectoral classification.
This definition is not in practice limits on the level of detail that you can get it.
most important types of waste: municipal waste
:
municipal waste generation varies depending on cultural factors related to income levels, consumption patterns, development technological and quality standards of living of the population. The increasing development of the Chilean economy has brought about a considerable increase in the generation of waste. In the 60's, household waste generation amounted to 0.2 to 0.5 kg / capita / day today however, this figure is between 0.8 and 1.4 kg / capita / day.
sectors generate higher income per capita increased volumes of waste and this waste has built more value than those from poorer segments of the population.
industrial waste
The amount of waste generated by industry is a function of technology the production process, quality of raw materials or intermediate products, physical and chemical properties of the used auxiliary materials, fuels and packaging process. Mining waste
:
include mining waste materials are removed to gain access to minerals and all waste from the mining process. In Chile and the world production statistics are quite limited. Currently, the copper industry is committed to the implementation of appropriate management of these wastes, which is expected in the near future to have proper statistics.
hospital waste: Currently
management Hospital waste is not the most appropriate in the absence of clear regulations in this regard. The management of this waste is carried out at the generator and not under a decentralized system. At the level of hospital wastes are usually sterile.
The composition of hospital waste residue ranges from residential and commercial medical waste containing such hazardous substances.
According to the Integrated Waste Management Board California USA medical waste is defined as one that is composed of waste that is generated as a result of:
a) treatment, diagnosis or immunization of humans or animals
b) Research leading to the production or proof of medical preparations made of living organisms and their products
Index
type of management can be classified as waste because they are somehow associated with handling characteristics that must be done:
From this point of view you can define three main groups:
a) Hazardous waste: are wastes which by their nature are inherently hazardous to handle and / or dispose of and can cause death, disease, or that are dangerous to health or the environment when handled improperly.
b) Inert Waste: Waste stable over time, which will not cause significant environmental effects to interact with the environment.
c) non-hazardous waste: None of the above
