University Campus Solid Waste Management Introduction

University Campus Solid Waste Management : Introduction [Solid-waste management is a complex issue with a wide range of consequences for different organizations. For example, a matter that can have considerable effects on the environment is the more than 13,000 universities worldwide (Hazelkorn 2013), one third of which are based in Europe with a student population of more then 18 million. These organizations generate environmental impacts through both direct activities, such as the use of classrooms, laboratories, offices, and catering (commuting and consumption of food and drink at work by students) and indirect activities such as the waste treatment facilities (Adelman 2009).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Solid-waste management is a complex issue with a wide range of consequences for different organizations. For example, a matter that can have considerable effects on the environment is the more than 13,000 universities worldwide (Hazelkorn 2013), one third of which are based in Europe with a student population of more then 18 million. These organizations generate environmental impacts through both direct activities, such as the use of classrooms, laboratories, offices, and catering (commuting and consumption of food and drink at work by students) and indirect activities such as the waste treatment facilities (Adelman 2009).]
