Strategic Domestic Solid Waste Management in Urban Areas

domestic waste in urban health

Abstract

Effective domestic solid waste management in urban areas has become a key element in the pursuit of sustainability, as it encompasses a range of strategic approaches to reduce waste generation and promote recycling and recovery while minimizing environmental impact. Recognizing the importance, this discussion aims to (1) assess the current state and innovation of domestic waste management practices, (2) identify the key challenges and barriers faced in implementing strategic waste management practices, and (3) develop effective strategies and policy recommendations for improving domestic waste management in urban areas. The discussion was structured into five sections: policy, operational management, initiative and technology, public behaviour and collaboration. By adopting a holistic approach from each section to strategic domestic waste management, urban areas can reduce the amount of waste they generate, divert more waste from landfills, and create a cleaner and healthier environment for everyone.
