Tiivistelmä
Attaining sustainable management of various wastes streams requires applying both technical and non-technical approaches. One of the non-technical approaches is the deployment of knowledge management systems towards solving the various challenges faced with wastes management by various stakeholders. Knowledge management in relation to wastes management implies optimizing the application of various existing and possible broad range of knowledge in wastes management towards attaining the set goals. This paper presents a review of existing literatures and conducted a theoretical synthesis for gaining deeper understanding of the application of KMA in wastes management. It is hoped that a better understanding of how deploying different existing and potential types of knowledge, some even ignored by stakeholders can help in attaining sustainability in managing municipal, industrial, hazardous and other kinds of wastes. This paper attempts to evolve a conceptual framework which gives holistic perspectives, and serves to better understand the broader aspects relating to wastes management. The paper brings to the fore knowledge management issues relating to the outlined aspects of wastes management. To conclude, this review presents actions points and recommendations relating to the conceptual framework which will be helpful in attaining the diverse goals of sustainable management of wastes using knowledge management approaches. The paper aims to equip public and private actors within the wastes management chains with better know-why, know-who, know-how and know-what in the pursuits of sustainability.
