ACB 1 The Briefing v3
This document provides an introduction to solid waste management in Hawally, Kuwait. It notes that Kuwait generates over 2 million tons of solid waste annually, with a per capita generation rate among the highest in the world. The population of Hawally governorate is over 1.1 million people, concentrating waste. The solution requires a multi-pronged approach including legislation, waste segregation at source, awareness campaigns, and leveraging technology to monitor waste levels and alert authorities. Modern landfills also utilize systems to collect leachate and methane gas.
