Abstract :

This study is an outcome of a survey conducted on Fulight fellows from 40 different countries, who were meeting at a Fulight Seminar at Reno, Nevada State in the United States. The purpose of the research was to find out the current practices of managing household waste in different parts of the world in order to identify a possible sustainable solution to minimize dumping in landfills. In addition, the study allows us, to understand the systems (laws and regulations) related to recycling and hauling practices in order to create awareness and generate future research ideas. The methodology used is survey conducted on Fulight fellows from 40 different countries. Short interaction with the respondents and unstructured interviews are the limitations of this study. The results of this paper are useful to gather research ideas on waste systems throughout the world. It will help to establish the relationship between different systems and its reasons. The paper can also help policy makers to incorporate the best practices and develop a sustainable model to manage waste.
