Abstract

                   Paper and plastic, which have shorter lifespans and larger quantities, are consumed at a faster rate due to urbanization and changes in people’s lifestyles, particularly for those with better incomes.  These goods are contributing to the amount of waste that local authorities must deal with, along with dietary shifts.  India has been extremely aware of the importance of environmental safety and health in recent years, and it has begun investing time and resources on solid waste management.At every level, the government and private groups are working to reduce waste as much as possible.  Additionally, the public has begun to participate in efficient garbage management.  From an Indian viewpoint, this paper provides a detailed explanation of the zero waste idea and the integrated waste management approach.
