Best Practices in the Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste and use of By-Products– A Global Perspective

Abstract

The global experiences of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in different cities have shown how important it is to plan and implement an integrated MSWM method that focuses on making municipalities run better so that all stages of MSWM can be done in a way that is sustainable. As part of MSWM, waste is generated, separated, transported, transferred or sorted, recycled, treated, disposed of, and overgrown materials are used. Participation of all stakeholders mentioned (Teshome et al., 2022) is needed for this method to work, while taking into account the environmental, financial, legal, institutional, and technical factors that are unique to the area (Al Ansari, 2012) is also important. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can also help narrow down the options and create a thorough plan for dealing with trash [Gunamantha, 2012]. Therefore, the MSWM method needs to be carefully chosen so that residents don't have to deal with any negative health and environmental effects [Suthar and Sajwan, 2014].
