The handling, collection, transportation, processing, recycling, and disposal of solid waste produced by institutional, commercial, and residential sources within a municipality or metropolitan region is referred to as municipal solid waste (MSW) management. In order to reduce trash’s negative environmental effects and advance sustainable waste management techniques, entails a combination of strategies, infrastructure, and practices.
The following are some of the essential elements and tasks involved in managing municipal solid waste: Waste Collection: In this step, solid waste is gathered from a variety of locations, including homes, businesses, and public spaces. In order to collect waste, it may be done with the help of workers, collection trucks, and waste bins.
Transfer & Transport of garbage: After being collected, garbage is taken to a waste management facility or transfer station where it is consolidated and made ready for transportation to processing or disposal sites. Transfer stations act as transitional locations when waste from smaller collection trucks is combined with rubbish from larger trucks for long-distance transportation.
Processing and treatment of waste: Various processing and treatment techniques may be used, depending on the waste management system in place. Sorting, recycling, composting, and technology for waste-to-energy or anaerobic digestion are a few examples. Recovery of resources, a decrease in the amount of garbage going to landfills, and a reduction in the negative environmental effects of waste disposal are the objectives.
Landfills or other authorized disposal facilities are used to dispose of waste that cannot be recycled, repurposed, or treated. In order to reduce threats to public health and environmental contamination, garbage is carefully dumped, compacted, and covered at landfills.
Recycling and Resource Recovery: Encouraging recycling and resource recovery is a crucial component of municipal solid waste management. To be reused or further processed into new goods, this involves sorting and processing recyclable materials like paper, plastic, glass, and metals.
Public Awareness and Education: To promote waste reduction, recycling, and good waste management practices among citizens and businesses, municipalities frequently adopt public awareness and education initiatives. These programs seek to encourage behavioral modification, boost recycling rates, and reduce trash production.
The U.S. Municipal Solid Waste Management Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The closing of a joint venture between Continuous Materials and Tailwater Capital LLC, a financial, commercial, and operational support provider to the waste-to-product industry, was announced by WM Organic Growth, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM), and Tailwater Capital LLC. The joint venture’s financial details weren’t made public.
EverboardTM, a brand-exclusive, high-performance, low-slope roof cover board, is created in Continuus Materials’ factories, which it develops and runs. EverboardTM is made from recycled plastic and fiber materials from municipal solid waste. In comparison to competitive products created from conventional materials, Continuus Materials’ technique eliminates landfill trash and will produce much fewer greenhouse gas emissions during its entire life cycle.
With the help of the joint venture, Continuus Materials can build more facilities at WM locations and open its first large-scale municipal solid waste to EverboardTM production facility. Within the first three years of operation, the plant is anticipated to generate more than 150 million square feet of EverboardTM annually.
EverboardTM is currently provided by Continuous Materials to a variety of business clients, including major national retail chains, industrial production facilities, and distribution centers.
