Question

1. which waste management practice aims to eliminate waste sent to landfills?

a. zero waste

b. incineration

c. landfilling

d. waste accumulation

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "Zero waste" is a practice focused on reducing waste generation and diverting waste from landfills, aiming to eliminate waste sent to landfills.
• Option b: "Incineration" is burning waste, which still produces ash and may not eliminate landfill waste (and can have environmental issues).
• Option c: "Landfilling" is disposing waste in landfills, so it does not eliminate waste sent to landfills.
• Option d: "Waste accumulation" is letting waste build up, which is not a management practice to eliminate landfill waste.

So the correct option is a.

Answer:

a. Zero waste
