Solid waste generation is a phenomenon that is growing rapidly all over the world due to rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles. The average per capita waste generation has increased drastically in the past few decades. As per estimates, around 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated worldwide every year. The largest waste generators are densely populated countries like the United States, China, and India. With rising incomes and consumption, waste generation is expected to rise further in the coming years.

Current Methods of Wet Waste Management

Most cities and municipalities have a systematic process of waste collection in place. Wet Waste Management is primarily collected from households, commercial establishments, and public places by local authorities or private operators.

The waste is then transported to intermediate processing and disposal sites such as transfer stations or landfills using waste collection vehicles like garbage trucks, dumper placers etc. While door-to-door collection helps achieve high collection efficiency, it is a labor-intensive and expensive process. Other methods involve dumper bins or community bins where residents drop off their waste.
