Evaluating the Viability of Norwegian Waste Management Techniques for Enhanced Recycling in Sri Lanka
2024
The study was conducted to evaluate the viability of Norwegian waste management techniques for enhanced recycling in Sri Lanka. Reviews on the current waste management practices in Sri Lanka and that of Norwegian waste management techniques were carried out. Special interview with the manager, GLØR Waste Management, Lillehammer, Norway was also conducted. Waste management techniques, including recycling strategies, waste-to-energy systems, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies in both nations were compared to assess their applicability to Sri Lanka. Key barriers, such as policy gaps, infrastructure limitations, and socio-cultural factors, that may hinder the adoption of Norwegian waste management practices in Sri Lanka were identified. Based on these, policy recommendations and strategies to enhance recycling and waste management efficiency in Sri Lanka based on Norway’s best practice were proposed.
