Waste Management
Integrated waste management is a
comprehensive waste prevention, recycling,
composting, and disposal program. An effective
integrated waste management system considers
how to prevent, recycle, and manage solid waste
in ways that most effectively protect human
health and the environment. integrated waste
management involves evaluating local needs and
conditions, and then selecting and combining the
most appropriate waste management activities
for those conditions. The major integrated waste
management activities are waste prevention,
recycling and composting, and combustion and
disposal in properly designed, constructed, and
managed landfills.

Summary.
The analysis made it possible to define the most debated
issues in integrated waste management clearly. From an
elements point of view, integrating waste management
depends on the treatment, recycling, and disposal.
Meanwhile, from the aspect point of view, what affects
integrated waste management is the environment.

This study achieved the objective of providing a picture of

the current research in integrated waste management,
testing a valuable research tool for subsequent more
detailed analyses and debates on this research topic.
