 Solid Waste Management in Asia

This paper reviews the broad trends related to solid waste management in Asia. It focuses on
waste management only as it pertains to urban environments. The study analyzes the trends
and provides preliminary suggestions for reducing the trends' impacts. The concern about
environmental effects associated with solid waste management and the escalating costs that
solid waste management consumes from local government budgets is examined. The paper
briefly discusses possible policies and budget requirements for dealing with the burgeoning
waste stream. In compiling the solid waste generation data, the authors identified shortcoming
with terminology used and sampling methods and built-in problems with consistency. In Annex
1, recommendations are made to help overcome these limitation and for improving solid waste
data collection and presentation. Annex 2 presents waste generation rates for selected Asian
cities.

Reflection

1. I’ve learned on how to use the basics of citing in Chigaco Style and creating a Bibliography in Chicago
style.

2. For me the most challenging to me is the Activity C because it gave me a hard time to do that activity.

3. The learnings I want to share with others are the basics of citing in Chicago Style.
