Solid Waste Management
January 2024. Solid Waste (SW), commonly known as trash or garbage, is the waste generated from household consumption. Solid waste sources include homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals. Solid Waste Management (SWM) is the process of collecting, treating, and disposing of waste in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner. Solid waste management involves budgeting, planning, organization, and implementation to reduce the health and environmental impacts of solid waste handling and disposal. The most common methods of solid waste management include landfilling, incineration, composting, and recycling. Solid waste management process includes four stages: (1) Collection (2) Sorting and segregation (3) Recycling and recovery, and (4) Final disposal in a landfill. A sustainable solid waste management strategy depends on not creating waste from the beginning by (1) Avoiding wasteful and non-recyclable products (2) Reducing wasteful and non-recyclable products (3) Using compostable or reusable products and, (4) Upcycling, which means using waste products for new functions. Policy wise, in 1992, the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) established the International Environmental Technology Center (IETC) to support the implementation of proper solid waste management systems. IETC aims to optimize the management of solid waste (plastics, electronics, agriculture, and food waste) in countries around the world. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, types, methods, stages, strategies, UN policy, and global statistics of solid waste management. Discover the importance of an effective solid waste management system for public health protection and pollution prevention and the outlook for 2050.
