Abstract
Waste management in the liquid detergents and bleaching agents production unit of Henkel in Reghaïa, Algeria, has been thoroughly examined. The study is based on rigorous waste collection and quantification, as well as a survey conducted among the company’s employees and managers. The results indicate a predominant distribution of waste in the categories of cardboard, construction waste, and plastics, with the hierarchy of waste types influenced by industrial activities. The analysis of employees' knowledge and practices reveals significant gaps in the management of special waste and selective sorting, underscoring the importance of awareness and training. The managers, on the other hand, acknowledge the need for better organization and a more proactive strategy for sustainable waste management. The study concludes that additional efforts are required to enhance selective sorting, improve staff awareness, and integrate more sustainable waste management practices in line with international environmental standards.
