Effective MSW management involves several methods:
Landfilling: Depositing waste in specially designed sites. While convenient, it poses long-term environmental risks. Recycling: Converting waste into reusable material. This reduces the demand for raw materials and lessens environmental impact. Composting: Biodegrading organic waste to produce compost, which can be used as fertilizer. Incineration: Burning waste to generate energy. This method reduces waste volume but can emit harmful pollutants. Waste-to-Energy: Converting waste materials into usable heat, electricity, or fuel.
