International Journal of Environment and Waste Management (IJEWM), Vol. 19, No. 4, 2017

Abstract: Waste is one of the major contributing factors to serious environmental problems in both developing and developed nations. This paper proposes two approaches to tackle waste management, specifically in Nigeria. The first approach is focused on product design and the second is on the knowledge-management solutions. These approaches can be adopted in other countries as well. The paper also presents a review of existing literature on Nigeria, municipal waste management challenges and designing a recycling solution using axiomatic design. The poor management of waste is the result of a combination of a number of challenges. The paper aims to ensure efficient and sustainable waste management in Nigeria.
