SOA7007 Cleaner Production for Sustainable Waste Management
This course focused on the understanding of the concepts and practices of CP as a means to
promote productivity and profitability through pollution prevention measures that includes
maintenance, continuous improvement and innovation. This tertiary level course is for advanced
understanding of solid and hazardous waste management. The course will focus on the management
of industrial and municipal solid waste. Technology on waste management (landfill, incineration,
biological treatment, recovery, and cleaner production) will be explored with practical examples.
Analytical tools such as MFA and LCA shall be applied. Case studies to be discussed based on project
oriented problem-based learning (POPBL) and industrial CP.
