Before industrialization led to more densely populated areas and a need for dedicated waste management programs, the issue of what to do with the trash that was produced was a fairly low priority. In fact, early systems relied far more on recycling, as raw materials were hard to come by so they had to be used in as many ways as possible before being discarded.
Furthermore, before the discovery and use of many of the natural resources that are common today, such as oil, the issue of what to do with products that are not bio-degradable didn’t exist. It is only through modernization that such factors have needed to be taken into account.
Before this, people tended to live in loosely populated areas that didn’t create waste to an extent that it caused a noticeable problem. Organic items rarely came with packaging, with a focus on consuming as much food as possible being the main concern. As such, the organic waste that did exist came in fairly low volumes and would be subject to the forces of nature, be that decomposition or consumption by other animals.
However, it is important to note that this low requirement for waste management was not the standard in every area. The Mayans, for example, were one of the earliest adopters of the incineration technique and would conduct monthly collections to dispose of their trash.
Led by company President Vedeo, Lavajet Vedeo is a global service waste management and disposal company that respects the history of the industry while also dedicating itself to implementing more efficient methods.
