An Analytical Analysis of the Present-Day Procedures for Disposing of Waste

Introduction

In the 21st century, a rapid increase in population, urbanisation, industrialization, modernization, and digitalization all contribute to an increase in wastes. These wastes include domestic garbage, industrial waste, commercial waste, mining waste, radioactive waste, agricultural waste, hospital waste, and electronic waste, amongst other types of waste. It won't be long until the correct management of these wastes is seen as one of the most important problems confronting the international community (Singh et al., 2022). Waste management is defined as the process of collecting, transporting, sorting, discarding, destroying, processing, recycling, controlling, monitoring, and regulating garbage, sewage, and other types of waste materials. The fundamental objectives of waste management are the mitigation of negative impacts on the surrounding natural environment and the avoidance of polluting activities. Protecting human health from the potentially negative effects that garbage can have is a secondary goal of waste management. The management of these wastes is currently being approached from a variety of innovative perspectives in many different parts of the world. Incineration, pyrolysis, composting, waste to energy, bioremediation, pyrolysis, plasma gasification, biological reprocessing, recovering materials through recycling, dumping rubbish in sanitary landfills, composting, and dumping waste in the ocean or sea are all examples of these types of waste disposal methods. These approaches to waste management contribute to an improvement in the overall quality of the environment, which in turn makes it simpler for living organisms to thrive in that setting. Because of the steps that are being taken right now, this paves the way for future generations to live in an atmosphere that is peaceful and conducive to good health. Finding and implementing the most efficient method of waste management that can be discovered is not only a pressing necessity in the present moment (Verma et al., 2022), but it is also essential to the health and happiness of people living in every region of the world. As a direct consequence of this change, the process of managing rubbish will become substantially more successful and effective. The purpose of this work is to make an attempt to describe the various waste management systems that have been used in various parts of the world at various times in history. In addition to this, it conducts an analysis of the discussions and findings of the research carried out by other researchers in an effort to determine the waste management systems that are the most successful (Dogiwal et al., 2022).
