Pakistan generates about 48.5 million tons of solid waste a
year, which has been increasing more than 2 percent
annually. Like other developing countries, Pakistan lacks
waste management infrastructure, creating serious
environmental problems. Most municipal waste is either
burned, dumped or buried on vacant lots, threatening the
health and welfare of the general population. The
Government of Pakistan (GOP) estimates that 87,000 tons of
solid waste is generated per day, mostly from major
metropolitan areas. Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city,
generates more than 13,500 tons of municipal waste daily.
All major cities face enormous challenges on how to manage
urban waste. Bureaucratic hurdles, lack of urban planning,
inadequate waste management equipment, and low public
awareness contribute to the problem.
