“…Dumped waste attracts vermin and blocks drains, leading to local flooding and the fostering of breeding grounds for disease-mosquitoes, and ultimately contributing to marine plastic pollution (Faiza et al 2019;Schmidt et al 2022;Sharma, Brahmbhatt and Panchal 2022;Micella et al 2024).…”

In response to Resolution 2/7 from the second session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) and reaffirmed in Resolution 4/7 from its fourth session, the Global Waste Management Outlook offers an updated assessment of global waste management and an analysis of data concerning municipal solid waste management worldwide. Jointly published with the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), the report evaluates three potential scenarios of municipal waste generation and management, examining their impacts on society, the environment, and the global economy. Furthermore, it presents potential strategies for waste reduction and enhanced management, following the waste hierarchy, to treat all waste materials as valuable resources.

“…This tries to lessen the negative effects of trash on public health, such as pediatric cancer and leukemia (Nwogwugwu & Ishola, 2019). Involving many stakeholders, an urgent implementation of an integrated waste management system for solid waste and comparable wastes is necessary to avoid the possibly hazardous spread of illness from communal garbage (Nor et al, 2019). Policies pertaining to waste management must emphasize environmental and community health implications, need oversight, preventative measures, and suitable remedies, and must be developed in collaboration and coordination with all relevant agencies (Shamshir, 2019).…”

The circular economy is an economic model for regenerating wastes into goods with additional value. This research aims to determine the relationship between the Indonesian circular economy and waste management, as well as its influence on environmental quality and public health. The study technique used is the SEM-PLS approach, which is a multivariate analysis used to analyze several factors in order to determine the simultaneous influence of multiple variables on the item. The quantitative technique uses time series data from data sources like BPS, World Bank, and SIPSN (National Waste Management Information System). The findings indicate that an increase in population may lead to an increase in garbage creation, with the percentage of waste generated in urban regions being larger and the issues in urban areas being more complicated than in rural areas. Unmanaged waste creation will result in a decline in environmental quality and may create harmful pollutants, but if trash generation is correctly managed, environmental quality will be preserved. It is possible for waste management to promote public health by reducing the quantity of pollutants generated by trash. By adopting the circular economy idea in the 3R (Reduce-Reused-Recycle) application, effective and efficient waste management may boost people's income. The potential of a circular economy might generate investments in recycling (green entrepreneurs), which can promote jobs and preserve the environment. The government and business owners work together to promote distribution and marketing channels and to continue fostering independence.

“…During floods, solid waste and other debris carried in floodwaters cause damage to property and endanger human lives (Lamond et al, 2012). Blocked drains create areas of standing water which contribute to the spread of water and mosquito borne diseases such as dengue and malaria (Krystosik et al, 2020; Nor Faiza et al, 2019). Plastic and other solid waste in standing water encourages leaching of chemicals into groundwater and overall decreases in water quality (Akmal & Jamil, 2021).…”

Multi‐scalar interactions between mismanaged plastic waste and urban flooding in an era of climate change and rapid urbanization

Mismanaged plastic waste (MPW) and urban flooding are typically considered distinct environmental challenges. However, there are notable links between growing quantities of MPW and the rising incidence of floods in cities. A majority of people now live in cities, especially along coastlines and in estuaries where residents are both vulnerable to flooding and significant sources of plastic waste. Predicted increases in the frequency and severity of heavy rainfall associated with anthropogenic climate change coincide with rising global quantities of MPW, much of which is discharged into water bodies and the sea. Given the urgent and expanding nature of these issues, understanding impacts of urban floods on solid waste management and vice versa is crucial. Social‐ecological systems (SES) thinking calls for a holistic approach to the relationships and interactions between human actors and environmental systems which can result in dynamic and emergent outcomes. In this review paper, we make a first step towards better understanding of the interactions between urban flooding and MPW by synthesizing emerging quantitative and qualitative research on particular aspects of such interactions. More research is needed which explicitly focuses on and elaborates the nature of these interactions, and also to consider potential relations across scales (from global to local) and over both long and short timeframes. We conclude that an SES approach can make visible novel possibilities for interventions which are context specific and sensitive to the interactions between urban floods and MPW.This article is categorized under: Science of Water > Water and Environmental Change Human Water > Water Governance Engineering Water > Planning Water
