Municipal Solid Waste

Each year over 2 billion tons of solid waste is produced globally. It is predicted that over 3.4 billion tons of waste could be produced by 2050. Only 16% of this waste is recycled and 46% is disposed of unsustainably. Many countries are struggling with the efficient collection and disposal of waste and do not have appropriate systems in place. Landfills are overrun and there is no longer the availability of sending waste such as plastics to China. Fees and transportation costs for the removal of the waste to a landfill to be properly disposed can be exorbitant. Cities can spend between 20% TO 50% of their budgets to deal with waste management. This cost must be paid every month and can place a strain on budgets and finances. Cities, towns, municipalities, and countries are at the mercy of the waste management companies and the fees they charge to dispose of the waste. These fees can be increased at intervals resulting in higher costs which further strain budgets and make disposal of waste expensive as well as being messy and a detriment to our environment.
