Human activities in household and industries generate an enormous amount of waste material, both organic and non-biodegradable matter, which substantially contribute to land, water and air contamination. The study aims to highlight the possible methods in solid waste management (SWM) and its influence on economy and environment. The paper is an attempt to bring out the necessity of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the management of solid waste.
The paper is prepared after an elaborate review of literature connected with SWM.
The paper emphasizes the need of SWM and the role of corporate bodies in building a robust system in the management of solid waste, creating a healthy environment to all.
The paper is entirely based on literature review and reports and not on individual's research.
The paper has a multi-level faceted approach where real-time practices in different countries have been explored.
This study can enable the collaboration of corporates, scientific community and the municipal local bodies in the area of SWM.
This paper deliberates on how CSR can be a driving force for a sustainable model for SWM.
