Abstract

“Waste generation is increasing day by day with the growth of population which directly affects the environment and economy. Consequently, there are millions of tons of solid waste being produced every year which have to be safely disposed without any negative impact to the environment. On the other hand, as one of the driving forces for economic and social development the availability of energy in sufficient and sustainable amount has been becoming world’s main interest. However, depending on the way the energy is produced, distributed and used, it may contribute to environmental problems such as water, land and air pollution or even global climatic change. Waste from the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) contributes towards maximum waste generation in India. Thus, management of waste is very much essential with the increasing demand for energy. This paper mainly focuses on reviewing solid waste management potentials, its technologies, and the associated challenges. Solid waste can be easily managed by forming the layers of landfill and the hazardous effects can be reduced by utilizing the gases emitted through this method..
