Sustainable waste management aims to reduce waste generation, dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner, and recover valuable materials from waste.

Recycling is a method of waste management that involves recovering and reusing valuable materials from waste. Landfilling, incineration, and composting are all methods of waste disposal.

Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Recycling does not directly create jobs. However, it can support jobs in the waste management and recycling industries.

Incineration is the process of converting waste into energy.

Landfilling is not a sustainable waste management technology because it does not recover or reuse valuable materials from waste and can lead to environmental pollution.

Waste reduction is the process of reducing the amount of waste generated.

Design for landfilling is not a common type of waste reduction strategy because it does not reduce the amount of waste generated.

Waste recovery is the process of recovering valuable materials from waste.

Incineration is not a common type of waste recovery technology because it does not recover valuable materials from waste.

Waste treatment is the process of treating waste to make it less harmful to the environment.

Recycling is not a common type of waste treatment technology because it does not treat waste to make it less harmful to the environment.

Waste disposal is the process of disposing of waste in a way that minimizes environmental impact.

Recycling is not a common type of waste disposal technology because it does not dispose of waste.

Sustainable waste management is the process of managing waste in a way that is sustainable over the long term.
