Beyond Landfills: Exploring Innovative Solutions to Combat Garbage Pollution

Abstract

Miguel Peris*

This paper delves into the challenges posed by garbage pollution and explores innovative solutions to address this pressing environmental issue. By examining alternative waste management strategies beyond traditional landfills, such as recycling, composting, waste-to-energy technologies, and circular economy models, this study highlights the potential for sustainable waste management practices to mitigate the impacts of garbage pollution on the environment and human health. Garbage pollution, resulting from the unsustainable production, consumption, and disposal of waste, poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability and human well-being. Conventional waste management practices, centered around landfill disposal, are increasingly inadequate in addressing the growing volumes of waste generated globally. Moreover, landfilling contributes to various environmental problems, including soil and water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, and habitat destruction. This paper seeks to explore innovative solutions to combat garbage pollution, moving beyond reliance on landfills and towards more sustainable waste management practices.
