Sustainability Model for Solid Waste Management to Support the Global Economy

Abstract

Extravagancy is the key point of inflation. We consume more than necessary; we generate waste without any responsibility. Expanded consumption and depletion of resources are becoming more serious than ever. As the world population and standard of living are increasing, the amount of solid waste is also increasing. Not only the quantity but also the types of the wastes increase and become difficult to recycle due to composite wastes. With the aim of preserving the environment, this chapter will introduce the sustainability model to support the global economy. Waste management and recycling technologies, which effectively turn waste into resources, will be a great tool, especially in rapidly developing nations. The following should be a Motto in life: “the practice of treasuring and using all things as long as possible.” While economies continue to grow, this motto spirit restrained the generation of waste and motivated the development of technology for reuse, recycling, and effective use through heat recovery for energy.
