Waste management is a crucial practice that aims to conserve natural resources, reuse materials, reduce environmental impact, and ultimately use resources sustainably.

Wastes can be categorised into solid waste, biodegradable waste, hazardous waste, electronic wastes and household wastes. Household wastes are classified as dry waste and wet waste. Medical wastes or bio-wastes are another type of waste from the healthcare sector and can be assigned under hazardous waste.

Therefore it is important to have a strategy that involves proper segregation and disposal of wastes. Waste management is such a strategy. Waste management involves the proper collection, transportation, segregation and disposal of waste. 

In India, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has been a popular clean-up and waste management initiative that has had success in reducing wastes. The corporate organisations follow a model of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) which is a business model focused towards environmental and societal impact.
