To gradually reduce the per capita MSW disposal rate by 40-45%, and increase the recovery rate to about 55% through implementing MSW charging, other policies and regulations, waste reduction and recycling measures, and conducting publicity and education, etc.

Municipal solid waste generation is predicted to grow from 2.1 billion tonnes in 2023 to 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050. In 2020, the global direct cost of waste management was an estimated USD 252 billion. When factoring in the hidden costs of pollution, poor health and climate change from poor waste disposal practices, the cost rises to USD 361

ABSTRACT. This review provides insight on the environmental impacts of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) in Nigeria. The anthropogenic impacts of waste streams that infringes on ambient air quality, both ground and surface water, soil as well as biodiversity in dumpsites are discussed. The precarious generation of large waste stream whose leachates
Municipal solid waste: a shared responsibility. The word "waste" refers to any material, non-hazardous or hazardous, that has no further use, and is managed at recycling, processing, or disposal sites. Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to recyclables and compostable materials, as well as garbage from households, businesses, institutions
Currently, most of the municipal solid waste in Hong Kong is disposed of in the following landfills: However, these sites will be completely filled by the mid 2020s if the level of waste continues to grow at the current levels.
1. Waste generation and disposal (1) Waste generation The total volume of waste generation decreased and the volume of waste generation per person per day decreased. Total waste generation: 41,670,000 t (decreased 2.5% from 42,740,000 t
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a heterogeneous waste stream that is an inevitable part of daily life and can seriously damage the environment and human health (Tian et al. 2012; Hou et al. 2012).With a population of 13.8 × 10 2 M and a vast territory covering 96 × 10 2 K km 2 (NBSC 2017), China is the largest developing country and
Municipal Solid Waste. Municipal solid waste includes domestic waste, commercial and industrial (C&I) waste. In 2021, the quantity of MSW disposed was 11,358 tpd (4.15 million tonnes), which represented an increase of 5.1% as compared to 2020.
Key findings for 2021. Ireland generated 3.17 million tonnes of municipal waste in 2021, which is comparable (down one per cent) to the 3.2 million tonnes generated in 2020 (refer to Table 1). Between 2016 and 2021, municipal waste increased from 2.7 million tonnes to 3.17 million tonnes. Of this, 57 per cent came from households and 43 per

In 2015, the European Commission proposed new targets for municipal waste of 60 % recycling and preparing for reuse by 2025 and 65 % by 2030. These are based on only one calculation method — roughly the one used in this briefing — with the option of time derogations for some countries (EC, 2015). In addition, new targets to
