Executive Summary
Urban areas face significant challenges in managing the growing volumes of waste generated by their populations. Traditional waste disposal methods, such as landfilling and incineration, pose environmental and health risks. This proposal presents an integrated waste management approach aimed at achieving a zero waste future for sustainable cities.
By implementing comprehensive waste reduction, recycling, and recovery strategies, cities can minimize landfill usage, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create economic opportunities through the circular economy.
Background
As urban populations grow, so does the amount of waste they produce. The conventional waste management systems struggle to cope with the increasing waste volumes, leading to environmental degradation, pollution, and health hazards.
The zero waste approach aims to redesign the life cycle of resources so that all products are reused, recycled, or composted, with minimal waste ending up in landfills or incinerators. This integrated waste management solution focuses on waste prevention, resource recovery, and sustainable waste disposal practices.
