Special Topic Information:

Solid waste management involves the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastes from domestic,
agricultural, and industrial sources. Poorly managed solid waste poses significant risks to public
health and environmental sustainability. Inadequate collection, recycling, treatment, and uncontrolled
disposal can lead to severe health hazards and environmental pollution. Addressing "How will solid
waste be managed?" is a critical global challenge.

Key Research Areas Include but Are Not Limited to:

• Solid Waste Pollution:
  Assessment of pollution caused by improper waste disposal;
  impact studies on ecosystems and human health.
• Integrated Solid Waste Management:
  Holistic approaches combining multiple waste management techniques for efficiency and sustainability.
• Waste Collection, Reduction, and Treatment:
  Innovations in waste collection systems; strategies for reducing waste generation;
  advanced treatment technologies.
• Classification and Screening of Solid Waste:
  Methods for categorizing waste types; improving sorting processes for better recycling
  outcomes.
• Landfilling:
  Modern landfill design and operation; minimizing environmental impacts; landfill gas
  capture and utilization.
• Composting and Biological Treatment:
  Enhancing composting methods; biological treatments for organic waste; nutrient recovery.
• Energy Recovery and Thermal Treatment:
  Technologies for converting waste to energy; thermal treatment processes like incineration
  and pyrolysis.
• Flyash Management:
  Handling and disposal of flyash from combustion processes; environmental and health
  implications.
• Optimization of Collection Systems:
  Improving logistics and efficiency of waste collection; use of smart technologies.
• Utilization, Recycling, and Reuse:
  Strategies for maximizing material recovery; circular economy approaches for
  waste valorization.
• Waste Valorization:
  Converting waste streams into valuable products or resources.
• Leachate Treatment:
  Advanced techniques for treating leachate from landfills; preventing groundwater
  contamination.
• Management of Hazardous Solid Waste:
  Safe handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials; regulatory compliance.
• Legal, Economic, and Managerial Aspects:
  Policy frameworks; economic incentives for sustainable waste management;
  organizational best practices.
