“…La mise en place d'outils réglementaires et juridiques dans les pays développés comme le Canada a joué un rôle essentiel dans la gestion rationnelle et saine des déchets (Mizpah A. et al, 2009). Ainsi un arsenal de textes régulant la gestion des déchets a vu le jour depuis les années 1990 qui implique l'administratif, l'environnement, le réglementaire, le scientifique, le marché et la technologie (Naushad K. et al, 2009).…”

“…Integrated waste management has been accepted as a sustainable approach to solid waste management in any region [5]. The IWM has been well practiced in developed countries, such as European countries and the United States (e.g., Hampshire, England; Prato, Italy; Copenhagen, Denmark; Seattle, USA), as well as developing countries, such as India (Madras, India) [3].…”

“…Experience can be drawn from successful cases, for example an IWM system operating in the city of London, Ontario, Canada. It incorporated three key IWM features, including socially acceptable strategies, economically affordable systems and environmentally effective systems; more importantly, has the support of the citizens and the citizen's views are sought and utilized in implementing waste management plans for the city [5]. Lessons can be drawn from unsuccessful cases as well, for example a case study in Mysore city, India was taken to find out the problems and prospects of IWM in Mysore city.…”

This study develops a sustainability assessment model for analysis and decision-making of the impact of China's municipal solid waste management enhancement strategy options based on three waste treatment scenarios: landfill disposal, waste-to-energy incineration, and a combination of a material recovery facility and composting. The model employs life cycle assessment, health risk assessment, and full cost accounting to evaluate the treatment scenarios regarding safeguarding public health, protecting the environment and conserving resources, and economic feasibility. The model then uses an analytic hierarchy process for an overall appraisal of sustainability. Results suggest that a combination of material recovery and composting is the most efficient option. The study results clarify sustainable attributes, suitable predications, evaluation modeling, and stakeholder involvement issues in solid waste management. The demonstration of the use of sustainability assessment model (SAM) provides flexibility by allowing assessment for a municipal solid waste management (MSWM) strategy on a case-by-case basis, taking into account site-specific factors, therefore it has the potential for flexible applications in different communities/regions.

Abstract. Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) problem is a issue that every country must face. Through a summary of the research results as you can see, municipal solid waste management in the developed countries is superior to the developing countries. This article summarizes the process of MSWM abroad, including generation, collection and disposal of municipal solid waste, while summarizes current research progress of MSW management abroad, and put forward some directions for future research on municipal solid waste management.
