This drift has caused a substantial rise in waste generation, bearing grave environmental and public health risks. The estimated municipal waste output by the year 2030 would thus increase greatly, thereby urging the need for integrated waste management. A perfect approach is an integrated waste management system aimed at managing the reduction of garbage as much as possible through sound recycling practices rather than managing irresponsible disposal that degrades environmental setups. India&#8217;s vision of sustainable development and environmental protection puts greater importance on proper integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/linklauncher.in\/banyannation\/blog\/solid-waste\">solid waste<\/a> management.
