Tackling the Waste Management Challenge: Strategies for Sustainable Solutions

Waste management is a pressing global issue often hindered by common attitudes like NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) and BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anytime, Near Anybody). To address these challenges, sustainable waste management approaches must be environmentally efficient, economically viable, and socially acceptable. Key strategies include reducing waste generation and implementing Integrated Waste Management (IWM) systems that effectively handle waste. By considering optimal recycling, incineration, and landfilling practices while balancing social costs, communities can develop practical waste management solutions that benefit all.
