Abstract

Innovative solid waste management practices are essential to address the increasing global waste volume. Solid waste management involves several processes: collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal. With growing concerns regarding environmental sustainability, it is critical to adopt innovative and sustainable solid waste management practices that minimize the impact of waste on the environment. This research provides an overview of innovative solid waste management practices such as recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy technologies that can reduce waste sent to landfills and incinerators. The chapter also highlights the benefits and challenges of these practices, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased resource efficiency, and enhanced public health outcomes. By adopting these innovative solid waste management practices, we can create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations. This research work tries to correlate the importance of solid waste management in a process to achieve the sustainable development goal no. 11 and addresses several key aspects of SDG 11, including sustainable urbanization, environmental sustainability, and public health. This research work will help policy planners and solid waste managers to choose the most suitable waste management technique for their towns based on the need, nature, and volume of waste generated in the town.
