CDP Rwanda - training concepts
This approach involves teaching selected individuals the skills and knowledge they need, so they can then go on to instruct others in waste management practices.
What is training of trainers?
This vehicle is commonly used to pick up household waste from curbsides.
What is a garbage truck?
Food waste is also known by this term, especially in the context of household garbage.
What is organic waste?
This European Union directive sets targets for recycling rates and the reduction of landfill waste across member states.
What is the Waste Framework Directive?
This index, often used in waste management, measures the environmental impact of waste disposal methods, including greenhouse gas emissions.
What is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) index?
This type of training allows participants to learn about waste management at their own pace, often through an online platform, without the need for in-person attendance.
What is e-learning course?
The practice of charging households for waste collection based on the amount of waste they produce is known as this.
What is Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT)?
This term describes the proportion of waste that remains after all recoverable materials have been removed.
What is residual waste?
This recycling method involves using heat or chemicals to transform plastics that cannot be mechanically recycled into fuels or raw materials.
What is pyrolysis (or chemical recycling)?
The term for the difference between the amount of waste generated and the amount actually collected, often due to illegal dumping or self-disposal, is this.
What is uncollected waste (or collection gap)?
This university in Germany is participating in the current capacity development program alongside GOPA Tech, Envero, and GIZ, and will provide experienced professors and trainers over the next six months.
What is the University of Rostock?
The process of optimizing waste collection routes using software and data analytics is known as this.
What is route optimization (or smart waste collection)?
The moisture content of waste is generally higher in low-income countries due to the dominance of this waste type.
What is organic waste (or food waste)?
The closed-loop recycling process is best exemplified by this material, which can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality.
What is aluminum (or glass)?
In waste data reporting, this term refers to the systematic process of verifying and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of data.
What is data validation (or data quality assurance)?
This type of meeting brings together stakeholders to review and confirm the accuracy and relevance of project documents or plans before final approval and implementation.
What is validation workshop?
This technology uses GPS and sensors to optimize waste collection routes and monitor bin fill levels in real time.
What is smart waste management (or IoT-enabled waste collection)?
In waste composition studies, the term "inert waste" typically refers to materials like these, which do not decompose.
What are construction and demolition debris (or rubble, sand, ceramics, etc.)?
This advanced recycling process breaks plastics down to their original monomers for reuse in new products.
What is chemical recycling (or advanced recycling or depolymerization)?
The accuracy of a waste composition study can be improved by increasing this aspect of the sampling process.
What is sample size (or frequency of sampling)?
This fuel is produced from processed municipal solid waste and is used as an alternative energy source in industries such as cement manufacturing.
What is Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)?
Uncollected waste dumped and eliminated rapidly through a process generating air emissions.
Waste is waste burning (or incineration)?
This waste fraction is typically greater in urban than in rural areas, due to higher rates of consumption and packaging.
What is packaging waste (or plastics, paper, etc.)?
The process of recycling PET bottles into polyester fibers for clothing is an example of this type of recycling.
What is downcycling?
This number is used to fill in data gaps and is based on existing data in similar cities/countries.
What is Benchmark or proxy?
