The primary reason is the increased amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) caused by the growth of the population and the economy, with food waste accounting for the largest proportion of MSW in HK. Jing, R., Liu, T., Tian, X. et al. Sustainable strategy for municipal solid waste disposal in Hong Kong: current practices and future
An incinerator can be used for both concepts in MSW management, either processing or disposal of solid waste. Regardless of the incinerator''s construction or intended use, the by-product of the incinerator must eventually be disposed of in a landfill. Landfilling is regarded as an effective method of waste management.
Municipal solid waste disposal by methods in the U.S. 1960-2018. Municipal solid waste generation in the United States from 1960 to 2018, by way of disposal (in million metric tons)
Municipal Solid Waste Charging. The Government has announced to defer the implementation of municipal solid waste charging (MSW charging) and will commence a series of measures including enhancing recycling facilities, stepping up public education and promotion, as well as studying how to improve the MSW charging scheme. The
Landfill is the main technology in China''s MSW treatment in the past decades. During 2009–2018, its capacity of MSW disposal keeps gradually increasing from 89 to 117 Mt per year (Fig. 1 A, Table S1). By 2018, the number of landfills has over 660 plants in nationwide (NBSC, 2018).
Municipal solid waste (MSW) severely threatens human health and the ecological environment owing to its toxicity, mutagenic activity and carcinogenicity.
Municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is one of the key concerns for city development. Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang province, has a population of about 9.18 million by the end of 2016. The total amount of MSW generated in Hangzhou is about 3.78 million tons in 2016 (ZJOL 2017 ). The increasing rate of MSW generation in
Municipal solid waste (MSW) in China (especially in eastern coastal regions), Berlin, Tokyo and Singapore are presented in terms of background
As a major municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal method, the incineration is of great significance to China at present. However, because of the possibility that harmful materials may be emitted into the air and then jeopardize the residents'' health, MSWI has encountered strong opposition from the public and therefore, its clean

Abstract Municipal solid waste (MSW) severely threatens human health and the ecological environment owing to its toxicity, mutagenic activity and carcinogenicity. The continuous increase in MSW together with stringent regulations makes sanitary disposal imperative. Waste sorting and recycling has been recognized as an efficient
The USA, China and India are the top three producers of municipal solid waste. The composition of solid wastes varies with income: low-to-middle-income population generates mainly organic wastes, whereas high-income population produces more waste paper, metals and glasses. Management of municipal solid waste includes recycling,
After MSW recovery through recycling and composting, 164 million tons of MSW were discarded in 2012. Food waste is the largest component of discards at 21 percent. Plastics comprise about 18 percent; paper and paperboard make up almost 15 percent; and rubber, leather, and textiles account for about 11
