Sufficient volumes of recycling materials required to make recycling industries feasible. This umbrella approach is useful to generate Specific geographical or administrative area such as a city or municipality. Is assisting member countries and their cities to develop an ISWM plan covering all the waste generating sectors within a Of a draft ISWM plan, preparation of an implementation strategy, and establishment of a monitoring and feedback system. Systems and practices, target setting for ISWM, identification of issues of concern and suggestions from stakeholders, development The process includes a baseline study on theĬharacterization and quantification of waste for all waste generating sectors within a city, assessment of current waste management This article further discusses the implementation process for ISWM.

The ISWM concept is being transformed into ISWM systems to replace conventional SWM Solid waste management (MSWM), but now the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is promoting this concept to coverĪll waste generating sectors to optimize the level of material and resource recovery for recycling as well as to improve theĮfficiency of waste management services. Stations and material recovery, treatment and resource recovery, and final disposal. Introduced to streamline all the stages of waste management, i.e., source separation, collection and transportation, transfer On the other hand, resource recovery is maximized at all stages of SWM.

To disposal, thus managing the waste more effectively and minimizing the public health and environmental risks associated On the one hand, 3R helps to minimize the amount of waste from generation The 3R approach is becoming a guiding factor for SWM. Recently, another dimension is becoming a critical factor for SWM, i.e., resource conservation and resource recovery. Was aimed at reducing the risks to public health, and later the environmental aspect also became an important focus of SWM. This article discusses the concept of solid waste management (SWM). Government, and community/neighborhoods). Management of solid waste from all the waste-generating sectors (municipal, construction and demolition, industrial, urbanĪgriculture, and healthcare facilities) and involving all the stakeholders (waste generators, service providers, regulators, Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) based on the 3R approach (reduce, reuse, and recycle) is aimed at optimizing the
