waste treatment technologies

Waste treatment technologies encompass methods used to manage and process waste to minimize its impact on the environment and human health. Key approaches include physical methods like sorting and shredding; chemical treatments that neutralize harmful substances; and biological processes such as composting that use microorganisms to break down organic matter. Advanced technologies like incineration convert waste into energy, while landfilling with leachate management helps safely contain waste. Each method aims to transform or reduce waste, promote recycling, and recover valuable resources, supporting sustainable waste management practices in communities.
