solid waste (MSW), commonly known as garbage".

Concluding Remarks
With the increasing industrial activities, the need for maintaining
a balance between economic growth and environment protection
grows. There is an increased focus towards the concept of
sustainable development, wherein, both the objectives can be
fulfilled simultaneously without hampering the other. Compliance
with environmental norms also builds a better brand image of the
organization. Apart from that, the rules and laws regarding the
management of waste and protection of the environment have
become more stringent. No laxity is accepted in the obligation of
functioning in an environment-friendly manner. If organizations
do not follow the provided norms, their right to carry out
business operations can also be revoked by the State. To avoid
such sanctions, it is important that organizations approach the
issue of environment protection and waste management in an
efficient way, and help the society as a whole to develop in a
manner, which is sustainable in the longer run.
