Why is it important?
A waste analysis and characterisation study requires urgent measures to regulate and to solve the piling up of garbage worldwide, in this case a city in Asia; this is an essential factor towards the projection of a feasible and environmentally acceptable solution.
Perspectives
Often, solution comes from simple ones. To my mind "waste analysis and characterisation study is simple and yet effective in coming up with practical alternative solutions or framework in managing municipal solid waste.
