LITERATURE REVIEW

Name of the Student : Perarasan M

Register Number : 727822tucv015


Introduction

• Solid waste management: a major environmental and public health issue.

• Rapid urbanization, increased consumption, and industrialization have escalated

solid waste generation.

• This review analyzes:

o Types and sources of solid waste.

o Current waste management systems.

o Environmental and health impacts.

o Emerging waste management technologies and innovations.

o Policy frameworks and areas for improvement.

Methodology

• Data Sources: Academic journals, government reports, and international

publications.

• Search Databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar.

• Keywords: "solid waste management," "waste disposal methods," "waste-to-energy

technologies," "sustainable waste solutions."

• Inclusion Criteria:

o Peer-reviewed articles (2010–2024).

o Focus on non-hazardous municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste.

• Exclusion Criteria: Studies without empirical data and those focused on hazardous

waste.

• Approach: Thematic analysis, identifying key themes like waste reduction, recycling,

landfilling, waste-to-energy innovations.

Discussion

• Types and Sources of Solid Waste:

o Categories: Municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste.


o Key Drivers: Urbanization and population growth, particularly in low- and

middle-income countries.

• Current Waste Management Systems:

o Traditional Methods:

▪ Landfilling: Leads to soil and water contamination.

▪ Incineration: Reduces waste volume but generates toxic emissions.

▪ Recycling: Effective but suffers from low participation and

contamination issues.

o Emerging Approaches:

▪ Waste segregation at the source, composting, and increased recycling

efforts.

• Environmental and Health Impacts:

o Environmental Damage: Air, water, and soil pollution from improper waste

disposal.

o Plastic Waste: Persistence in the environment and harm to marine life.

o Health Risks: Respiratory illnesses, skin infections, and gastrointestinal

diseases, especially in informal settlements.

• Innovations in Solid Waste Management:

o Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Technologies:

▪ Anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis.

▪ Converts waste into renewable energy, reduces landfill waste.

o Advances in Recycling: AI-enhanced waste sorting systems improving

recycling efficiency.

• Policy and Regulatory Frameworks:

o Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Holds manufacturers accountable

for product disposal.

o Circular Economy: Focus on reducing, recycling, and reusing materials.


o Challenges in Developing Countries: Weak policy enforcement, gaps in waste

collection, and treatment infrastructure.

Conclusion

• Solid waste management is a significant global challenge with both environmental and

public health consequences.

• Emerging Solutions:

o Waste-to-energy technologies.

o Advanced recycling systems.

• Policy Support: Necessary to ensure effective waste management and move toward a

circular economy.

• Further Research:

o Improving waste segregation at the source.

o Expanding recycling infrastructure.

o Strengthening regulatory frameworks, especially in developing nations.
