The framework of 17 SDGs


including energy, climate change, and sustainable consumption and
production exposes emerging trade-offs in terms of infrastructure
decision making, such as investments in sustainable infrastructure.
The proper and sustainable waste management would lead to the
effective realization of several human rights. The diversity and
potential consequences of soil and groundwater pollution impacts, as
well as the limited capacity in developing countries for addressing
such impacts, render the establishment of the advanced waste
management system as a key cross-cutting issue for achieving SDGs
(Dermatas, 2017). Adshead et al. (2019) developed metrics for
evaluating the performances of infrastructure-linked targets and
combined them with a systems model that could quantify the
infrastructure demands in the future so as to assess the investments
and policies to meet such demands. They found that strategies of
cross-sectoral infrastructure investments and policies with regard to
energy, water, wastewater, and solid waste sectors were able to
mobilize SDG targets by means of quantitative indicators to reveal
their interdependent nature and address uncertainties. It is imperative
to implement and promote sustainable services through key policy
tools such as direct regulation, economic incentives, as well as social
instruments (Rodić and Wilson, 2017). For example, a legal
framework involving both public and private sectors, financial supports
for the services, and collaborative projects with civil societies such as
green groups and media are potential ways to resolve the waste
management issues.
In addition, the integration of private services (e.g., small-scale
enterprises) into the official system with the collaboration of NGO or
community-based organization (CBO) would bring
about socioeconomic benefits and contribute to
ecological sustainability, and enhance public health services (Baud et
al., 2001). Such alliances would be more preferred in developing
areas, where waste trade and recycling facilitates could contribute to a
cleaner environment with reduced waste and enhanced recycling, an
improved financial situation, and more employment. Another case
study in Brazil also supported the approach of integrated public–
private partnerships (PPPs) and a deliberative mode in order to realize
sustainable solid waste management (Kruljac, 2012). The waste
management collecting systems have been evolving through the
history. For example, a “Waste Purchase” program was carried out in
1989 supplying basic waste collection to the designated area, when
the citizens used to purchase the surplus food and exchange waste
for locally grown food from the farmers. Similarly, the “Green
Exchange” program was initiated in 1991, stimulating regularized form
of such scenario and encouraging waste recycling among low-income
neighborhoods. These programs have accelerated the formation of
PPPs involving the economic sector as a facilitative approach, which
is mediated by NGOs or other CBOs for sustainable waste
management (Kruljac, 2012). The significance of integrated solid
waste management was highlighted in a work on the
Indian MSW management system, which compared different
scenarios such as composting, anaerobic digestion, incineration, and
landfilling (Pujara et al., 2019). Life cycle assessment (LCA) and
waste-to-energy (WTE) practices are critical tools to realize
environment and economic sustainability as well as to minimize the
adverse impacts associated with MSW. To achieve the SDG goals of
sustainable consumption and production, practical measures can be
implemented, including public education, improvement of manufacture
and business process, integr
