The frequency and intensity of natural disasters especially tropical cyclones in the Pacific are increasing and when these natural disasters occur, large amounts of waste, known as disaster waste, are generated from damage to both the natural and man-made environment.

La fréquence et l’intensité des catastrophes naturelles, en particulier des cyclones tropicaux qui sévissent dans le Pacifique, augmentent, et lorsque ces catastrophes surviennent, de grandes quantités de déchets, appelés « déchets issus de catastrophes naturelles », sont produites par les dommages causés aux milieux naturel et anthropisé.
