Abstract

From bags to computers non-biodegradable wastes found their way into everything. We knew little about how this is going to affect the environment when it was found. Many non-biodegradable wastes are complex polymers and are very hard to recycle. Usually, these non-biodegradable wastes end up in landfills and oceans. The world is moving towards a healthier and cleaner the best way to achieve it is by eradicating this waste, but it’s a long way to go. At the present we slow the accumulation of these wastes and can concentrate on safe and eco-friendly ways to dispose this waste. In this article various methods are described to how improve waste management, use waste in as one of the consequent materials for other products or using waste for producing energy. All data is considered and recommended regarding improving waste management system in India.
