Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Waste Management is a local issue with global implications. As the world’s population continues to grow, so does the amount of waste being produced. In 2015, the world generated 2 billion metric tons of solid waste included dairy wrappers. This number is expected to grow to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050. In low-income countries, the amount of waste is expected to increase by more than three times by 2050 (Miah et al. 2018). As waste generation increases, so does the importance of having an effective sustainable solid waste management system in place. However, cities and local governments face many challenges when it comes to properly managing their waste. Inadequate waste management systems present serious risks to human health, the environment, and livelihoods in many cities. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the sustainable waste management practices adopted by the confectioners to assure whether the waste generated is treated properly and suggest some remedies to minimize the waste in dairy food establishment.
