The chapter provides an overview of sustainable solid waste management (SSWM). In order to understand SSWM, the definitions of solid wastes (SWs) are reviewed and gaps are identified. From the identified gaps, a new definition of plastic solid wastes (PSWs) is developed. Sustainable ways of managing PSWs are discussed

These Facts and Figures are current through calendar year 2018. The total generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2018 was 292.4 million tons (U.S. short tons, unless specified) or 4.9 pounds per person per day. Of the MSW generated, approximately 69 million tons were recycled and 25 million tons were composted.
Urban agglomeration in Butuan City led to issues on solid waste management (SWM). The socioeconomic profile and effectiveness of SWM programs were assessed and evaluated through a survey
About 44.3% of solid waste management in Bandung city is composted to produce fertilizer material, 54.7% is rejected and dumped in landfills. 23% of non-organic waste is mostly recycled and around
In this experiment, fly ash was used to replace part of cement, tailings were used to replace part of gravel aggregate, and basalt fiber was added. The four basic raw materials are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Basic raw material map: ( a) coal fly ash; ( b) cement; ( c) mill tailings; ( d) basalt fiber. 2.1.1.
An increase in population growth, industrial development, and urbanization has led to increasing solid waste generation. Solid waste is produced as results of activities from several sources such as residential areas, marketing places, restaurants and food areas, public and industrial installations, waterworks and sewage facilities,
The widespread generation of, ever increasing volumes of and the sustainable management of solid wastes are global issues of great concern. Due to wide variations in composition and associated complexities, significant efforts are required for their collection, processing and environmentally safe disposal in a cost effective manner. An
Solid waste management (SWM) is an integral part of an environmental management system. SWM approaches have been modified into a more practical and effective option to establish sustainability based on the "reduce", "reuse", and "recycle" (3R) principles. The primary goals of operational research-based waste management are
Operational research-based SWM emphasizes streamlining the treatment process through a model that is based on a multi-level supply chain, viz.,
Solid waste management may be defined as the discipline associated with the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste. The present paper based on
ABSTRACT: This research paper presents a comprehensive review on solid waste management. from an Indian perspective. It provides an overview of the current status, challenges, and. opportunities
Related research on OWB, such as mismanagement of solid waste, life cycle assessment, burning of biomass, electrical equipment waste, and healthcare waste have shown increasing trends over the years. Therefore, research regarding domestic waste burning stagnated from 2011 to 2016 and increased from 2017 to 2019.
This study focuses on the generation and management of solid wastes in China to capture trends and driving factors in China''s solid waste management

Solid Waste Management Practices in the Global South. Global municipal solid waste (MSW) generation rose from 1.3 billion tons in 2012 to 2.1 billion tons (0.74 kg/capita/day) as of 2016, which by 2050 is expected to increase by 70% to reach a total of 3.40 billion tons or 1.42 kg/capita/day [ 19 ].
