Also‚ to a large extent‚ the process of waste to wealth reduces the production of large quantities of greenhouse gases emitted from incinerators and landfills. Waste-to- wealth project through recycling also soaks up carbon dioxide from the air as it slows down the rate of deforestation which serves as carbon sink. 2.

problem of garbage pollution would obviously arise. Improper disposal mechanism- is another cause of garbage pollution. If garbage collection agency simply collects the entire garbage of its area of responsibility but does not dispose it off in proper landfill site then it would litter around here and there and most of it would pile up in streets and other areas. It would eventually cause several diseases due to mushrooming growth of harmful bacteria in it. Throwing Garbage Everywhere. What are the effects
