Municipal Solid Waste Management in India: Challenges, Technologies and Linkages with Sustainable Development Goals

  • Unique Paper ID: 184524
  • PageNo: 1978-1981
  • Abstract:
  • Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one of the prominent fields of study in India. In the past few decades, the country has witnessed a significant population shift into urban areas. As a result, new social structures and patterns of consumption have emerged. The issue of trash, which is increasing in amount and changing in composition, is brought on by the fast change in lifestyle brought about by urbanization and modern urban living. Because publically available municipal solid waste (MSW) information is generally few or dispersed, the situation is frequently unclear and the answers are imprecise. To examine the macro-issues that Indian techno-financial managers face, this research tries to compile accessible data. Urban solid wastes form the central theme of the study.
