Waste Generation and Disposal Methods in Emerging Countries

Solid waste is an environmental problem in both developed and developing countries. The typical problem in Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) of developing countries can be identified as inadequate service coverage and operational inefficiencies of services, limited utilization of recycling activities, inadequate landfill capacity, and inadequate management of hazardous and healthcare waste. In recent years, most developing countries have started to improve their municipal solid waste management practices. Different countries have adopted different strategies for reaching their goals, be it by applying advanced environmental technologies and extending recycling and reuse. Sustainable waste management will have to consider all possible options for the reduction of the negative impact of consumption.

The technological solutions and treatment alternatives to deal with the municipal waste must satisfy the sanitary and environmental reqirements. The traditional approach of collect and dispose is hard to be considered as an environmentally sustainable solution to the waste problem. In many countries MSW management systems are becoming more complex with the move from landfill-based to resource recovery-based concept following the setting of international and national targets to divert waste from landfill and to increase recycling and recovery rates.
