Abstract

Waste management contributes to sustainable development since waste can be transformed into valuable resources and commodities. Moreover, it helps resolve the concerns related to the limitation and scarcity of natural resources. Improving waste management means carrying out activities such as prevention, reuse, recycling and recovery, in the perspective of circularity, to minimize waste. Some methodologies and indicators may support sustain and monitor waste, such as the material flow and cost accounting, the life cycle assessment, and the carbon and water footprint.
