Hazardous wastes may be in the form of solids, liquids, sludge''s or gases. In some cases, although the active agents may be liquid or gaseous, they are classified as solid waste because they are confined in solid containers. They
This corresponds to 2.63 tonnes of total waste per capita (cap) per year. The total global waste generated is expected to grow to 46 billion tonnes by 2050 under a business-as-usual scenario. Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a much smaller amount, ranging from 2.3 to 3.1 billion tonnes (average of 2.7 billion tonnes) in 2019.

Factors influencing waste generation . The rate of change of quantity of solid waste generation with respect to stipulated time is termed as waste generation. The waste generation rate is governed by various factors (i.e) it depends mainly upon the geographical location, customs, climate, living conditions and economic standard of the area.
The role of the agricultural sector in human development and economic development cannot be overemphasized. Awareness for increased agricultural production is on the increase, arising from the need to feed the ever-increasing human population. Interestingly, almost all agricultural activities generate wastes, which are generated in large quantities in
The total amount of waste generated in the working year of 2017-18 is 15500TPD (Tons per day) from the cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Agra etc. The total solid waste processed is 3115TPD that is very small amount of waste in comparison of generating waste. The gap between the generated waste and processed is getting very
With explosive growth in EV numbers combined with the sheer sizes of their batteries (Tesla Model 3 Long Range''s battery contains 4416 cells and weighs 480 kg), significant LIB waste is and will be generated every year which, if not recycled and reused, will exert massive environmental impacts and accelerate the depletion of mineral reserves.

Amongst new battery concepts, all solid-state batteries (ASSB) are attracting increasing interest. Within solid-state battery research, the oxide solid electrolyte Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) has emerged as one of the most promising materials because of its stability against high-voltage cathodes and the lithium metal anode [13, 14].A well-established industrial
Solid waste generation in Pakistan ranges between 0.283 to 0.612 kg/capita/day and the waste generation growth rate is 2.4% per year. Solid domestic waste is typically dumped on low-lying land. This land could be used for more productive purposes and potentially valuable recyclable materials are lost.
Both globally and in Finland, several industrial activities (e.g., metal refining, pulp production) produce metal sulfates, which are controlled by strict limitations for wastewater concentrations of sulfate. One emerging area where these activities occur is the production of lithium-ion battery chemicals, especially precursors.

Recycling batteries is a complex process that involves several stages, each critical for efficient material recovery and environmental sustainability. The primary methods include mechanical, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes, each suited to different components and types of batteries, as follows.
Lithium-ion batteries recycling processes The three major methods of recycling LIBs are pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and direct recycling processes. Pyro- and hydrometallurgical processes are chemical processes, while direct recycling is a physical process .
Enhanced leaching techniques, such as ultrasonically assisted leaching, improve the efficiency of metal recovery using eco-friendly solvents. Additionally, closed-loop recycling systems, which aim to recover and reuse all battery components, are being developed to minimize waste and reduce the need for new raw materials.
Despite these challenges, direct recycling is particularly promising for reducing the overall environmental impact of battery disposal. The complexities associated with the diverse chemistries, designs, and sizes of LIBs further complicate the recycling process, often necessitating manual sorting and disassembly.
Typical direct, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical recycling methods for recovery of Li-ion battery active materials. From top to bottom, these techniques are used by OnTo, (15) Umicore, (20) and Recupyl (21) in their recycling processes (some steps have been omitted for brevity).
