Abstract

Sustainable Waste Management (SWM) means reducing and avoiding the amount of single use plastic products and other materials along with the amount recycled. The main components of sustainability are waste prevention, reuse, recycling and waste disposal. Waste management is one of the challenges that educational institutions have to face in achieving the sustainability goals. But at the same time schools can provide excellent educational opportunities for creating awareness about waste and waste management. Also, enhancing the spirit of waste reduction initiatives in the minds of school students can certainly help saving natural environment and energy besides improving the economic and environmental performance of schools. This study has been carried out on 100 students of boys and girls in class IX and X and of rural and urban areas in order to assess the awareness, practice and attitude of school pupils toward the existing waste management programs which are ongoing among rural urban students.
