A STUDY ON THE WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES OF GLAXO SMITHLINE (GSK) NIGERIA PLC)

ABSTRACT

This study was undertaken to identify and evaluate the

waste reduction management strategies in Glaxo Simithline (GSK) Nigeria

Plc, Lagos.     In generating total need to achieve the objective of the

study, the researcher consulted many textbook, journals, periodicals

and paper work. These were renewed and deductions and additions were

made appropriately. The study was also conducted by using primary and

secondary sources of data collection as well as percentage and made in

the data analysis and interpretation.  Based on the analysis of data

some findings include that good waste reduction management strategies

exist and these include but not limited to processes improvement

strategies emphasis on efficiency maintenance of plants/equipment and

employing qualified trained personnel.  Therefore, this work suggest

that the company should intensify, efforts towards achieving zero waste

through establishment of secondary application for all waster generated.
