Abstract
Blooming of industrialization and urbanization are directly corelated with increased solid waste generation. Every year India faces a massive challenge as it deals with municipal solid waste equating to approximately 62 million tonnes including E-waste, plastic and medical waste. This has mounted and stands as a budding hazard to public and environmental health. Within India solid waste management predominantly adheres to sustainable development. The waste management rules are generally framed and handled through the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF); however, compliance varies among states. In this article we are describing the present status, challenges and implementation followed in the waste reduction processes including segregation/collection, recycling, energy recovery (composting, bio methanation, and bioremediation), land filling of household and industrial waste; its impact on the environment. This review concludes with some simple and effective international trends in waste management, with a vision of improving in current Indian systems.
