Assessment of Sustainable Waste Management Practices in Urban Areas

Project Abstract

The management of waste in urban areas has become a pressing concern as cities continue to grow in population and industrial activities. Sustainable waste management practices are crucial for maintaining environmental quality, public health, and resource conservation. This research project aims to assess the current state of waste management practices in urban areas and evaluate their sustainability. The study will focus on identifying the challenges and opportunities associated with waste management in urban settings, with a specific emphasis on reducing waste generation, promoting recycling and reuse, and minimizing environmental impacts.
