Waste management

Abstract

Waste management is the systematic process of collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, and disposing of waste materials in an environmentally responsible manner. Effective waste management helps reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and protect public health by minimizing the harmful impacts of waste on the environment. It involves practices such as waste segregation at source, recycling of reusable materials, composting of organic waste, and safe disposal of non-recyclable waste. With rapid urbanization and increasing consumption, proper waste management has become essential for achieving sustainable development and maintaining a clean and healthy living environment for present and future generations.
