ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN BREWERY INDUSTRY, A CASE STUDY OF
CONSOLIDATED BREWERIES.

CHAPTER ONE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Improper industrial and municipal waste management can lead to many forms of contamination, such as groundwater
contamination, air quality deterioration, and greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., methane gas emissions from anaerobic
decomposition). [3] Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes conventional wastes and
hazardous waste. Currently, industrial activities are the main sources of world’s hazardous waste production. [4]
Hazardous wastes as defined are wastes (solid, liquid or sludge) other than radioactive waste which, is defined by of
their chemical activity or toxic, explosive, corrosive, or other characteristics that has potential risks for human health
and environment. [5] Hazardous wastes, the main defect of the industrialized world, showed their importance because
of their potential hazard to human health and environment when improperly identified and managed. [6] Discovering
hundreds of barrels of toxic waste in a park in Istanbul, Turkey [7] or fire in the warehouse containing chemical waste at
the factory in basal Switzerland in 1986 [8] can be mentioned as examples for the hazard of these wastes. Similar
incident was happened in Iran, for example, explosion of the tank contains oil and complete destruction of installations
and the deaths of at least five people in 2005. [8] Now-a-days, efficient management of large amounts generated waste
with different composition poses a major challenge for the industries. [9] The main elements of comprehensive waste
management are production, storage, collection, transportation, processing, disposal, and treatment. [10] Industrial
Waste Management history returns to approval of Resource Conservation Recovery Act in United States in 1976. [11],
[12] The first laws and regulations pertaining to hazardous waste management have been implemented in member
countries of the Common Market in 1980, Europe. [13] Now-a-days, laws and regulations for the control and safe
disposal of industrial waste are implemented in many industrialized countries. In developed countries such as the
United States of America, England, France, Germany, Japan, and The Netherlands have been provided a detailed list
of databases, processes, industrial waste, or hazardous waste. However, Industrial wastes in many developing
countries are still transporting with common household waste and posing many health risks to workers, public, and
environment [14] .Compilation detailed database of status and industrial waste quality is inevitable in order to establish
a national industrial wastes control system. [5]
With the support of relevant organizations such as Ministry of Industry, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Department of Health, existing database state for Nigeria industrial waste management, should be developed and
regularly updated.

1.2 Problem Statement

As a result of the rapid industrial development at the global level, environment was subjected to hazard and crises in
the past decade. Pressures arising crisis in industrialized countries led to establish of more rigid regulation and
environmental standards enforcement, unfortunately, this practice, in most developing countries, have not in the actual
status yet. [1],[2] As a part of industrial activities, industrial wastes have been problematic, however, comprehensive
management is considered in order to minimize their risks.

1.3 Objectives of the study
The major objective of the study is analysis of industrial waste management practices in consolidated breweries.
1.4 Research questions
(1) what are industrial waste?
(2) what is industrial waste management?
(3) what are industrial waste management practices in consolidated breweries?

1.5 Significance of the Study
In Nigeria, there is no comprehensive study concerning about identification and management of industrial wastes. The
results of studies shown that in most cases, wastes management is improper in industrial towns, and there is no
detailed information about quantity and quality of industrial waste . This study will serve as a pilot study for analysis of
industrial waste management practices in consolidated breweries.

1.6 Scope of the Study
The research focuses on analysis of industrial waste management practices of consolidated breweries.
