On proportionate people, the waist is the narrowest part of the torso. The waistline refers to the horizontal line where the waist is narrowest, or to the general appearance of the waist. People who diet are often said to be trying to "improve" their waistline. Women tend to have narrower waists than men. [[[Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. All waste materials, whether they are solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive fall within the remit of waste management [[[Waste management practices can differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management of non-hazardous waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator subject to local, national or international authorities.Waste has existed since the beginning of time. Before recorded history, this waste decomposed in small quantities according to a natural cycle. With the development of cities, industrialisation, population booms, and the consumption of large amounts of waste, the issue of how to collect and store it appeared. As raw material resources become rare and we tackle climate change, the notions of recycling and recovery have emerged. For each type of waste, customised ways to treat them now exist. Hazardous and non-hazardous waste, inert waste, bio waste, recyclable waste, medical waste…a bit difficult to get our heads around it all. The eMag explores the various types of waste, how they’re treated, and their material, biological and energy-recovery potential.
