Abstract

Bangladesh is a low-lying riverine country. Unplanned growth of urban population causes audacious generation of solid wastes and strives immense pressure on existing services and environment. At present days, urban solid waste management is considered as most immediate and demanding environmental problems vexing Municipal authorities or urban governments in developing Asian countries like Bangladesh. Cities are now clashing with the serious problems of high amount of waste. The traditional concepts and inferior technologies of collecting waste are becoming incomplete as well as incompetent resulting more than half of the engendered solid wastes remain uncollected, disposed of regionally, forging the environmental view of cities quite murky and disheartening for the future. In waste management system, Germany is a role model for the world and the New German Closed-Cycle management is aiming to curve the waste management into resource management. The main intent of this research study is to categories in the solid wastes, discussing the issues of waste generation, a popular method for solid waste management, gasification schematic and waste-management model for Bangladesh. This study also explains Germany Closed-Cycle Management Act as well as waste treatment facilities, recovery, and disposal rate in Germany. Germany keeps very high-quality to preserve soil, air and water from the emissions integrated with waste storage and treatment.

Highlights

  • Rapid population growth, intractable industrial development gravely de-escalates urban environments, causes extreme strain on natural resources which weaken sustainable urban development

  • Waste Management is an alarming issue for the developing countries like Bangladesh

  • Roust research works are required in this field to find ways to de-escalate the problems emerging from inappropriate solid waste management

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Intractable industrial development gravely de-escalates urban environments, causes extreme strain on natural resources which weaken sustainable urban development. The rest of wastes remain on open spaces, roadside. Disposal of solid waste stands in place a big and devastating problem because it leads to either land pollution if dumped or deposited in landfills, water pollution if dumped in lowlands and air pollution if burnt. The general practice of solid waste disposal is still unplanned and uncontrolled open dumping which is responsible for dust pollution, odor, and nuisances. The volume of solid waste production in Dhaka city is escalating in proportion with the increase of population, the solid waste management system has been found collapsing day by day turning costly and ineffective.
