Scheduled Waste Reduction Strategies Aligned with ISO 14001 And Climate Change Objectives
Learn to align waste reduction initiatives with ISO 14001 clauses, apply the waste hierarchy, quantify environmental performance, and integrate GHG considerations into waste management strategies.
Description
Industrial development inevitably generates scheduled waste, which poses risks to human health and the environment if not managed properly. In the face of climate change, industries are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint, particularly through minimizing waste generation and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
This training focuses on strategies for reducing scheduled waste in line with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) framework and Malaysia’s Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005, while integrating climate change objectives such as carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and sustainable resource use.
Course Objectives
At the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Apply waste reduction and resource recovery strategies that align with ISO 14001’s life cycle perspective.
- Understand the linkage between scheduled waste management, ISO 14001 requirements, and climate change mitigation.
- Develop an action plan for continuous improvement of scheduled waste reduction aligned with climate goals.
- Communicate environmental performance indicators (KPIs) related to waste and GHG reduction effectively.
- Evaluate carbon and energy impacts of waste management methods.
- Identify sources and types of scheduled wastes generated within their operations.
