GCC Waste Management Market – Overview
Waste management refers to the systematic collection, transportation, disposal, and recycling of waste materials to minimize environmental and public health impacts. It involves various processes, such as waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and proper disposal of non-recyclable waste. Effective waste management is crucial to mitigate pollution, conserve resources, and reduce landfill usage. It encompasses both residential and industrial waste and requires coordination between government agencies, businesses, and individuals to implement sustainable practices. Sustainable waste management solutions, like composting and waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies, are increasingly important in addressing the global challenges of waste generation and environmental sustainability.
