“…In essence, solid waste management entails: (1) discerning and cataloging the waste's genesis and nature, (2) stratification, storage, and accumulation, (3) conveyance, (4) refinement, and (5) ultimate disposal. The financial requisites linked with these stages predominantly stem from transportation logistics, operational nuances, and land procurement expenditures (Yusoff et al, 2022). Solid waste management's cornerstone lies in waste minimization, enhanced recycling, and repurposing, with an overarching vision of environmentally benign waste disposal.…”

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) management presents profound environmental challenges worldwide. In locales like Huila, Colombia, devising effective strategies is paramount for fostering sustainable trajectories. This investigation aims to identify the salient elements essential for developing a proficient approach to WEEE management in this region. Employing a predominantly qualitative mixed-methods approach, the study intertwines inductive, deductive, and abductive rationales, applying an interpretative perspective. Our sample encompassed 72 stakeholders active in WEEE management, extending from urban households to WEEE-focused businesses and environmental entities. Comprehensive questionnaires gathered data on socio-demographics, WEEE awareness, comprehension of relevant regulations, and associated practices. An exhaustive descriptive statistical analysis examined each variable's behavior, supplemented by visual representations and pivotal statistical parameters. These findings were further augmented by a SWOT analysis. Results emphasize the cardinal challenges in sculpting a strategic WEEE management pathway, yielding insights indispensable for policymakers intent on refining WEEE procedures. Moreover, the investigation introduces a methodical framework for secure, effective electronic waste handling, transportation, precious metal extraction, and disposal. Fundamentally, this research enriches the discourse on WEEE management, proffering pragmatic solutions with extensive ramifications.

The tourism and hospitality industry has been pivotal in driving economic growth and cultural exchange globally. However, this sector also significantly contributes to environmental degradation, primarily through waste generation. This chapter explores the current challenges in sustainable waste management within the tourism and hospitality industry. It delves into the multifaceted nature of waste management issues, including the high volume of waste, diversity in waste types, and the seasonal nature of tourism which leads to inconsistent waste production. Additionally, the chapter examines the barriers to implementing effective waste management practices, such as lack of awareness, inadequate infrastructure, and financial constraints. By reviewing case studies and best practices from various regions, the chapter proposes strategic approaches to overcome these challenges. The emphasis is on integrated waste management systems, stakeholder collaboration, and the adoption of innovative technologies.
