Integrated Waste Management

Integrated Waste Management (IWM) is a comprehensive approach to handling waste that combines various strategies to reduce, recycle, and safely dispose of waste materials. It involves several activities, including waste prevention, recycling, composting, energy recovery, and landfilling, aimed at minimizing environmental impact. By using a combination of methods, IWM seeks to manage waste efficiently, conserve resources, and protect public health. The goal is to create a sustainable waste management system that reduces reliance on landfills and encourages responsible waste practices within communities.
