Title: Solid waste management badly needed in Myanmar
Author : Maranan, Marie Fjel I.
Asia’s urbanized areas produce about 760,000 tons of solid waste daily, and are expected to be more than double by year 2025. And that is not even the worse case scenario.
Yangon City, the capital of the Union of Myanmar, exemplifies an alarming neglect of this waste management issue. Currently, the City has a population of 5.5 million with an annual growth rate of about 2%. More people mean more waste. Rapid urbanization and population growth rendered the City's human health and environment vulnerable to the effects of inefficient waste management system.
