PREFACE
Proper management of waste is important for building sustainable and liveable cities, but it
remains a challenge for many developing countries and cities. A report found that effective
waste management is relatively expensive, usually comprising 20%–50% of municipal
budgets. Operating this essential municipal service requires integrated systems that are
efficient, sustainable, and socially supported. A large portion of waste management practices
deal with municipal solid waste (MSW) which is the bulk of the waste that is created by
household, industrial, and commercial activity. Measures of waste management include
measures for integrated techno-economic mechanisms of a circular economy, effective
disposal facilities, export and import control and optimal sustainable design of products that
are produced.
In the first systematic review of the scientific evidence around global waste, its management
and its impact on human health and life, authors concluded that about a fourth of all the
municipal solid terrestrial waste is not collected and an additional fourth is mismanaged after
collection, often being burned in open and uncontrolled fires – or close to one billion tons per
year when combined.
