Waste
1. Madagascar produces the least amount of municipal waste in the world, producing only about 9kg per year. Currently, all of Madagascar's waste is disposed of in two ways. 96.7% of their waste goes directly to landfills while only 3.5% of it is composted.
2. There are many problems with the way that Madagascar handles its waste. For one thing, there are no facilities for the disposal of chemical waste. There are also no regulations on the disposal of plastic waste.The movement of hazardous waste in the country is very poor and not well monitored. There is no legislation in place to deal with these issues and the public is not educated to understand the dangers of waste.
3. There are a few steps that Madagascar could take to improve the quality of their waste management. They need to pass legislation to ensure that there are regulations on the disposal of waste. They also need to educate the public about waste disposal as well as about composting. Composting can be very beneficial to the country with regards to organic farming. Organic farming can benefit the economy and can help sustain the environment.
