Waste management is important for environmental and health reasons. When waste is improperly disposed of, it can pollute land, water, and air through contaminated soil and waterways. This negatively impacts both the environment and human health. Effective waste management systems use various methods like landfills, plasma gasification, recycling, combustion, and composting to safely dispose of or reuse waste. Proper waste management is beneficial as it reduces pollution, lowers health risks, and helps conserve natural resources by recycling and reducing the amount of waste.
