Richmond Waste

  The impact of liquid waste on our lives is undeniable, causing extensive damage to the environment and biodiversity. Liquid waste can also be held responsible for deteriorating public health and affecting the lives of humans and animals. It is a type of waste that is in liquid form and at some points, it might look harmless, but when the waste in this form is not treated for quite a long period of time, then the effects can be catastrophic. Let us first understand why there has been a rise in the generation of liquid waste in the last few years.    1. Population Growth    This is one of the main reasons why liquid waste has increased. The levels of population all over the world have only increased, and more people means more consumption, which would further result in the generation of large amounts of liquid waste.        2. Industrialisation and Urbanisation    It is an undeniable fact that the world is moving towards more of an urbanised environment and modern-day industr

Waste production is inevitable in any construction and demolition (C&D) project. These activities can have a major negative influence on the environment, as not only it is produced in bulk but may also include hazardous substances. It may include inert waste that is non-reactive, and does not decompose, like concrete, soil, and asphalt. Hazardous waste in the C&D waste may be in the form of chemicals, solvents, lead-based paints, and aesbestos, while non-hazardous waste in it may include the waste that does not damage the environment or human health immediately, like wood, cardboard, glass, and metals. The focus of any construction waste management strategy is to minimise the amount of materials going to landfills. It also helps redirect recyclable and recovered resources back to the manufacturing process.      Any construction waste management plan should also include the materials to be salvaged or recycled, materials handling requirements, and how the plan will be commu

  Construction has become a fundamental part of human life and society for centuries, and it is undeniably something we can’t ignore. However, as we all know, everything has two sides, and construction is no exception. If you look closely, you will see that construction has also brought out a variety of problems, and one of them is construction waste.      It is a type of waste that emerges out of any type of construction activity. There are several types of construction waste and all of them can be classified into solid, liquid, and gaseous. Let us begin by understanding each of them.         1. Solid Construction Waste     This is the most prominent form of construction waste. During construction activities, materials such as metals, steel, plastics, bricks, cement, and wood, among many others, are extensively used. All these types of waste are extremely harmful to the environment. You would also see large quantities of debris, which also falls under solid construction wast
