Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrated waste management involves a combination of waste management techniques such as reusing, recycling and reducing waste to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. This not only helps in reducing environmental pollution but also helps in conserving natural resources. Choice A is not correct as the principle of dilute and disperse is a controversial waste management technique. Choice B is incorrect as it only involves source reduction and not the other waste management techniques. Choice C is too specific and does not encompass all waste types. Choice E is incorrect as it only involves the handling of wastes together and not the different waste management techniques.
