Abstract

Each urban area on a worldwide scale encounters unique daily obstacles when processing municipal waste. Due to resource scarcity, developing nations bear a disproportionate share of the burden of this challenge. Consequently, there is a greater drive to manage waste collection using scientific methods. This work attempts to explore and predict to enable to forecast future trends in waste management in India. The study used the PRISMA 2020 framework to screen the previous research. The behavioural effects of garbage creation and segregation have received little attention in the literature on managing municipal solid waste in urban areas. 426 papers emphasizing research on solid waste management and its behavioural effects were used in the study. This serious issue can only be resolved by behavioural interventions for the parties engaged in the early phases of trash generation, segregation and technology treatments. Therefore, future studies in this area should focus on various psychosocial elements that can alter grassroots practices and meet the objectives of successful solid waste management. While concentrating on the field’s continued evolution, the research considers the contributions made by different authors to its development. The research specifically examines studies that investigate the behavioural consequences of waste management.
