“…In developed countries, proper maintenance and care of landfill sites demands high capital cost so that more threat to environment and health is found. Moreover, the land limitations and waste amount entering the landfill sites are strong reason to move towards sustainable management of MSW (Marshall & Farahbaksh, 2013). …”

In urban areas, management of solid waste is a big and serious issue because of high amount of waste generated from different sources (industries, domestic etc.). In Lahore solid waste generated daily is about 5000 ton comprising of around 60% biodegradable and 40% non-biodegradable waste. About 70% of waste is collected which is then disposed of in unmonitored dumping sites. It causes severe environmental problems. The present study is for minimizing the solid waste being collected. Composting technique was adopted from Municipal solid waste and garden waste. The aerated composting technique made results more efficient by using an effective microbe's solution which acts as an activator to enhance microbial activity and reduced the composting period. The results demonstrated that compost was good in organic content 25% and carbon-nitrogen ratio 26:1. It was planned to convert organic waste into compost thus substantially reducing the MSW loads being generated in Lahore.

“…Então, países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, precisam investir no crescimento científico, teórico e prático na gestão dos resíduos sólidos, permitindo a criação de estratégias participativas, contextualizadas e adaptativas que permitam um progresso real para a fortificação da infraestrutura do país (MARSHALL & FARAHBAKHSH, 2013).…”

RESUMOO tema resíduos sólidos está em evidência na sociedade moderna, fato observado pela recente implantação da diretiva europeia, e no Brasil, com a criação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos. Entender o impacto dessa política na produção científica nacional é essencial para traçar novos rumos e tendências de pesquisa. Por meio de um estudo bibliométrico e cientométrico, esta pesquisa traçou o contexto nacional e global dos últimos 20 anos e encontrou áreas em que as pesquisas avançaram, como em resíduos sólidos urbanos, e lacunas essenciais para desenvolver mais o estado-da-arte nacional, como resíduos sólidos do transporte. Assim, os resultados encontrados fazem deste estudo uma ferramenta plausível como justificativa para novas pesquisas no tema. Keywords: solid waste; bibliometrics; scientometrics; sustainability; trends. Palavras INTRODUÇÃO Resíduos sólidos e sua importânciaOs seres humanos sempre produziram resíduos como parte da vida e desde a mudança da vida nômade, por volta de 10 mil anos a.C., quando começaram a viver em comunidades, a produção de resíduos sólidos tem aumentado. Ao longo dos séculos as cidades se desenvolveram e algumas delas criaram políticas sanitárias, mas para muitas outras a ação para com a questão dos resíduos sólidos começou somente quando este se tornou um problema sanitário, apresentando perigo à Essas transformações políticas são essenciais, pois a gestão dos resíduos sólidos como parte da infraestrutura municipal exige

“…Hence urban-waste composting is a crucial strategy for closing the rural-urban nutrient loop and sequestering C in soils. In addition to this, urban-waste composting is important for solid waste management because a large amount of biodegradable waste is produced, and waste management has become or is likely to become a major concern in developing countries in the near future since there is barely any waste management and urban populations are rapidly increasing (Marshall and Farahbakhsh, 2013;Danso et al, 2008). The current waste management strategy (i.e.…”

“…The rapid growth of urban populations generates large amounts of waste. As a result, waste management has become a matter of widespread concern (Marshall and Farahbakhsh, 2013), especially in developing countries where the current practices of waste treatment and/or re-use of waste are insufficient (Fig 1.1). Over 80% of urban waste is disposed of in landfills or local dumpsites due to the high costs associated with alternative waste management practices (Scarlat et al, 2010).…”

“…Municipal solid waste management has become a matter of global concern due to rapid urban population growth and the high costs associated with waste management (Marshall and Farahbakhsh, 2013). Studies have shown that biodegradable materials constitute over half of municipal solid waste (Taeporamaysamai and Ratanatamskul, 2016), with their results indicating that bioconversion of municipal solid waste into soil amendments (compost) is a viable option for sustainable waste management.…”
