The social and economic development of a country can cause an increase in pressures on its environment and increases the need for a reduction in environmentally damaging activities. Some of these damaging activities involve the production and disposal of waste. The more waste we produce, the more we have to dispose. The production of consumables in the first place, and their disposal when used uses up valuable natural resources and energy, processes which can impact upon the environment and in particular the atmosphere through pollution. Sustainable waste management encourages the generation of less waste, the re-use of consumables, and the recycling and recovery of waste that is produced.

Waste is generated by all sorts of means. Most waste comes from domestic and municipal consumption of goods, manufacturing, construction, sewage treatment, agriculture and the generation and disposal of hazardous substances. Waste includes paper, plastics, glass, metals, foods, chemicals, oils, bricks, wood, soil, and effluent.
