While plastic products bring convenience to human beings there are also great health and environmental threats. This paper reviews a range of management recycling methods for the increasingly severe problem of discarded plastics and briefly summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of some methods as well as lists several important value-added applications of waste plastics.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) reflects the culture that produces it and affects the health of the people and the environment surrounding it. Globally people are discarding growing quantities of waste and its composition is more complex than ever before as plastic and electronic consumer products diffuse. Concurrently the world is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate. These trends pose a
Municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) are usually built to deal with waste of a caloric value between 9 and 13 MJ/kg. Reference is usually made to Rittmeyer and Vehlow (1993) and Rittmeyer et al. (1994) on the co-firing of PSW (PU filled) in municipal solid waste incineration plants (MSWIPs). The TAMARA test incineration was used equipped with a co-current furnace.
While plastic products bring convenience to human beings there are also great health and environmental threats. This paper reviews a range of management recycling methods for the increasingly severe problem of discarded plastics and briefly summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of some methods as well as lists several important value-added applications of waste plastics.
Modern solid-waste management plants in most developed countries now emphasize the practice of recycling and waste reduction at the source rather than incineration and land disposal. Solid-waste characteristics Composition and properties. The sources of solid waste include residential commercial institutional and industrial activities.
The final stage of solid waste management is safe disposal where associated risks are minimised. There are four main methods for the disposal of solid waste Land application burial or landfilling Composting Burning or incineration Recycling (resource recovery) The most common of these is undoubtedly land application although all four are commonly
"Solid Waste" has received a unique place in Sri Lanka. Everyone demands proper disposal of the garbage that each individual generates. However these individuals are not willing to contribute in finding solutions. In other words "solid waste" is "somebodies responsibility" other than the persons who is responsible in generating it.

Previously we have been spoken about Waste Management including waste analyses and type of wastes and here we are containing the waste management to provide Practical guideline for Procedures and Disposal options which can be followed during construction projects including waste handling process.
Source reduction or waste prevention is designing products to reduce the amount of waste that will later need to be thrown away and also to make the resulting waste less toxic. Recycling is the recovery of useful materials such as paper glass plastic and metals from the trash to use to make new products reducing the amount of raw materials needed.
