An Analysis of the Fayoum Governorate in Egypt's Rural Areas' Sustainable Solid Waste Management

Anamika Bathem

Due to the growing population, particularly in developing nations, and the lack of an adequate waste management service, municipal solid waste generation and disposal are major environmental issues in both urban and rural communities. In order to choose a suitable treatment facility and enhance the waste management system, the current effort intends to research the waste management system in rural areas. Due to the flaws in the waste management system, three villages in Markaz Etsa, Fayoum Governorate, were chosen as research areas. Characterization studies in these three communities, where MSW management services are either non-existent or insufficient, are therefore of the utmost importance and a significant step forward in reaching the larger objective of sustainable municipal solid waste management [1,2]. The outcomes revealed indicating the proportion of organic in these three communities is, respectively, 76%, 67%, and 80% without diapers, or 9.3%, 14.3%, and 5.8%. WRATE software was used to carry out and simulate three life cycle assessment scenarios [3,4].
