“…Presently, few landfill sites are there, and among them, fewer are operating. Even Islamabad lacks a permanent landfill site [30]. Table 1 shows a comparative study to analyze solid waste management practices in different cities in Pakistan.…”

Solid waste is a problem in almost every country, but developed countries handle and manage their waste efficiently and usefully. On the other hand, developing countries are still struggling to develop an appropriate mechanism for the collection, disposal, and treatment of solid waste. Consequently, poor practices result in the deterioration of water quality. Similarly, the situation is not good in Pakistan; heaps of household garbage on streets and roadsides are very common. In this study, literature from the past 10 years has been collected to evaluate solid waste management practices, composition of waste, and per capita waste generation in different cities of Pakistan. Meanwhile, problems are also highlighted that lead to the pollution of water resources. It has been found that drinking water quality in many cities has already deteriorated due to the seepage of leachate from landfills and dumping sites deep into the soil and making its way to groundwater. Secondly, the disposal of waste into surface water bodies has also created problems. To conclude, despite the presence of local environmental laws, rules, and regulations, an important component of the environment, i.e., water, is getting polluted continuously. Presently, it might not be a worse problem, but in the coming years, it could lead to an environmental and health disaster in Pakistan. It is recommended to adopt healthy and firm waste management practices in Pakistan as being followed by developed nations and, more importantly, strong implementation of laws to contain this major crisis.

It is determined that resolving waste reduction and disposal issues plays a crucial role in implementing the concept of sustainable development in individual countries. However, developing a waste management mechanism requires adequate information. The influence of various types of economic activities in Ukraine on waste formation is investigated in the pre-war period. It is assumed that these factors will remain relevant for Ukraine in the post-war period. To quantify the impact of various factors on waste generation in Ukraine, statistical data were used, and a multiple regression econometric model with partial elasticity coefficients was constructed. The calculations helped us establish that the determining factors influencing waste generation in Ukraine in the pre-war period were waste from the mining industry and quarry development and the processing industry. Ensuring waste reduction, disposal, and recycling in these sectors requires a comprehensive approach and cooperation from all parties. To achieve this goal, it is essential to combine technological innovations, environmental awareness among workers, and appropriate legislative initiatives. Recommended measures have been developed to reduce waste levels in various sectors of the economy at both the national and enterprise levels.
