| Definition |
Waste management (or waste disposal) are the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process. |
| Concept |
*Controlled waste disposal facilities are put in place to combat the growing source and extent of pollution and waste disposal throughout the urban areas and the six other provinces. *Without these facilities, Vanuatu efforts to maintain healthy societies, to stimulate tourism, development and new investment and a sustainable future for its people may be severely undermined. |
| Rationale |
The purpose of this study is to depict the precise number of waste disposal facilities throughout the provinces or islands of Vanuatu aside from the two facilities found in Port Vila and Luganville. So that we can be able to identify the reduction of waste and pollution are reduce to what extent? This study will also indicate whether Vanuatu do really foster sustainable growth and development through low impact industries and modern technologies which ensures the wellbeing of future generations or not. |
