A single facility can’t fix waste. The system must support segregation and multiple processing routes.
Key points
- Source segregation and primary collection efficiency.
- Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for dry waste sorting.
- Composting/biomethanation for wet waste.
- Authorized handling for domestic hazardous waste and e-waste.
- Landfill diversion targets and performance dashboards.
When designed well, integrated SWM reduces costs and visible pollution while improving recovery.
