Students will also gain knowledge of the regulation associated with such wastes, and the roles of the various agencies involved in the processes. Specific Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this class the student will have developed a critical understanding of the principles, theories and concepts behind the management of solid waste this will include: a. familiarity with the categorisation of solid waste as defined by pertinent Scottish/UK/European legislation b. be aware of the solid waste arisings within Scotland/UK/Europe c. be familiar with the regulation involved in controlling solid waste treatment/disposal, including government strategy d. understand the concepts behind the development of regulation, i.e. to protect human health and the environment, and be aware of current development within this field of regulation e. be familiar with the methods involved in collection, sorting, transfer and recycling of solid waste,
