Abstract

The advancement of municipal solid waste (MSW) management technologies is indispensable to confront the escalating issues related to waste disposal and environmental sustainability. The chapter commences by defining and underscoring the significance of MSW management in addressing the mounting waste generation and its environmental consequences. It offers a succinct overview of existing MSW management practices, encompassing landfilling, incineration, recycling, and composting. The ongoing status of these technologies is deliberated upon, spotlighting their advantages and constraints. Diverse case studies from various regions are presented to showcase successful technology implementations. Furthermore, the chapter delves into the challenges facing MSW management, including amplified waste generation, constrained landfill capacity, environmental apprehensions, recycling complexities, and deficiencies in composting infrastructure and awareness. These challenges prompt an exploration of emerging technologies and prospective avenues in MSW management, encompassing waste-to-energy, anaerobic digestion, plasma gasification, and advanced recycling techniques. The chapter underscores the criticality of adopting sustainable and efficient technologies, concurrently emphasizing the necessity for collaborative endeavors involving governments, industries, and communities. This chapter's insights contribute substantially to the progression of MSW management practices toward a more sustainable and ecologically conscious approach. Ultimately, it accentuates the importance of policy support, funding, and public participation in propelling forthcoming advancements in MSW management. It underscores the need for collaboration among governments, industries, and communities to effectively address impending waste management challenges and realize efficient, eco-friendly practices.
