Utilization of Waste Reduction of Recycling Initiatives and Improvements in Disposal: Addressing the challenges of sustainable solid-waste management in developing countries

Abstract

Solid-waste management is a multidimensional issue that incorporates political, institutional, social, environmental, and economic aspects. Improving SWM in developing countries requires efforts to raise public awareness, increase funding, build expertise, and invest in infrastructure. To make progress communities will need to embrace new systems for SWM that are participatory, contextually integrated, complex, and adaptive.
