Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) includes everyday materials discarded by households, institutions, and businesses — food waste, packaging, paper, plastics, textile, e-waste and more. Its diversity makes sorting and disposal complex, often leading to contamination and higher landfill dependency. Implementing efficient solutions optimising collection can improve recycling rates and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Global MSW is expected to reach 3.4 billion tonnes by 2050 according to World Bank.
