Abstract:
With rapid urbanization, there is an urgent need to manage the ever-increasing waste which has made it essential to approach various technologies for its worldwide management. India is facing a massive waste management challenge as the urban and rural population of India generates over 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste per annum. Solid Waste Management (SWM) provides effective and practical options for sustainable management and disposal of solid waste collected by municipal authorities. Solid waste, generally termed refuse, is regarded as any unwanted, harmful, and wasted material by the human society which includes urban wastes, agricultural wastes, biomedical wastes, e-wastes, and hazardous wastes. Managing solid waste requires procedures and regulations with minimal effect on the environment. Segregation of waste at the source, collection & transportation by municipal authorities, recycling, waste reduction, and elimination through incineration and open dumping are the Conventional approaches for solid waste management. Biotechnological approaches viz. Bioremediation and Landfill Bioreactors are quite promising in waste management. Vermicomposting with efficient microbes is another biotechnological approach that aids in the safe management of compostable waste collected from various sources- agricultural, industrial, domestic, and hospital. Integrated solid waste management is the need of the hour to manage solid waste in a sustainable manner so that the impact of the waste can be minimized & quality of life can be improved.
