A Humanistic Approach to the Problems of Waste Disposal at Baku - Tbilisi Ceyhan Pipeline Construction

Abstract

We are trying to take into consideration humanistic problems including economics, environmental and social conditions. In the process of pipeline construction a lot of problems may arise and the most essential one is waste disposal such as pipe-cuts, tyres, shavings, plastic bottles, metal drums, food waste and etc. As it is commonly known the simplest way of disposal is burring or burning of waste. For above motioned project we are going to propose more complicate, but more environmental friendly, reasonable and profitable methods, which is re-use and recycling of waste products. Such an approach would allow us to solve economic and social problems of the local population, create additional workforce, and develop medium and small production during the whole project. There are lots of legal acts and regulations concerning waste disposal, however, it seems impossible to envisage all details and specific features arising in the process of construction of this or that particular region, specific mentality, national and traditional customs of the population and physical natural resources and so on. The suggested model, being far from universal seems to enwrap the problem, leaving intact specific localities on the Georgian territory.
