“…As a comparatively inexpensive technology for waste treatment and disposal, landfilling has been opted for globally, particularly in developing nations [ 11 ]. Hence, in global waste management strategies, about 37% of MSW is disposed of in landfills, and 33% of MSW ends up at open dumps [ 12 ]. Therefore, reducing landfill emissions is a fundamental goal in the waste management strategy that is also climate protective [ 13 ], as the waste management sector is contributing up to 5% of global emissions [ 14 ].…”

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an improved solid waste management plan to minimize and overcome the challenges involved in managing the enormous amount of solid waste generated such as insufficient funds, lack of facilities, and the shortage of collection spots for garbage.…”

Landfilling predominates in global waste management strategies, as 37% of MSW is disposed of in landfills and 33% of MSW is still ending up at open dumps [6]. According to the World Bank report, about 19% of waste material is recovered by recycling and composting and 11% of waste is treated by sophisticated incineration plants.…”
