What do you mean by segregation of waste?
"Segregation" essentially means "Separation", in this context. In technical terms, "Segregation of Waste" is slightly different than "Separation of Waste", in that when a waste system is set up, "Segregation" means that the system always keeps the different waste types separate from the time the waste is created, while "Separation" generally means that waste is combined after production, but later sorted apart (usually, after collection and before disposal). Example: in many parts of the country, recycling trash bins Segregate the plastics from the metals (each has its own bin compartment). However, once the plastics reach the local collection/recycling center, they are then further Separated in type 1, 2, 4, etc., each of which is chemically recycled differently.
