Waste [New] India's waste generation is projected to grow from 300 million metric tons (MMT) per year in 2018 to 735 MMT per year by 2051. [New] With ever-increasing amounts of waste expected to be generated over the coming years, waste management in Africa is focusing specifically on going from open dumps to sanitary landfilling and recycling. [New] Between 2016 and 2050, waste generation for North Africa is expected to rise from 129 to 255 million tons per year and from 0.81 to 1.6 kg / capita / day. The United Nations has a goal to halve food loss and waste by 2030, which like many other countries, New Zealand has also adopted. To ensure the proper management of solid waste, Thailand has established the National 3 R Strategy and the National Master Plan for Waste Management (2016-2021). Wales now has an ambition for zero waste to be sent to landfill by 2025: there will be a reduced role for landfill gas generation as the amount of organic waste in landfill sites reduces. The Commission's strategic long-term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy confirms Europe's commitment to lead the global climate action and presents a vision that can lead to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Unilever is now engaged in meeting even more demanding targets, including reducing waste associated with product disposal by half within two years and ensuring that all its plastic packaging will be fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. In the coming years, c-stores will need to address issues linked to waste management, the anti-plastic movement and the rising consumer backlash toward single-use packaging. In 30 years the global rate of waste production will be double the growth rate of the population. Technologies employing AI to design out food waste could help generate up to $127 billion a year by 2030. As much as 125,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, 35,000 tonnes of cobalt and 86,000 tonnes of nickel could be recovered by 2030 from waste batteries. China alone is forecast to generate around 500,000 tonnes of battery waste by 2020, a number that would hit 1.2 million tonnes per year by 2030, when considering global consumption. Of the more than 12 million tonnes of e-waste expected next year in Europe, an estimated 2.5 million tonnes (23 percent) will be plastics. Rising construction activities across sewage and wastewater treatment plants will facilitate the deployment of submersible sewage and slurry pumps across municipal facilities thereby impacting global industry demand over the coming years. Wales has ambitious waste reduction targets, including to cut food waste by half by 2025 and to be a zero waste country by 2050: As a result, there will be a reduced role for landfill gas over the coming years as the amount of organic waste in landfill sites reduces. The IEA has calculated that solar goals for 2050 consistent with the Paris Accords will require disposing of solar panels that will constitute more than double the tonnage of all today's global plastic waste. Food waste is expected to become a growing priority in Philadelphia's efforts to achieve zero waste by 2035. Growth in installation of photovoltaic solar panels means that 78 million tonnes of material will need to be recycled by 2050, while electric vehicles could provide another 11 million tonnes of batteries by 2030. The need to manage waste in an efficient manner with the help of a standard recycling technology is expected to boost the growth of the market in the coming years. The amount of municipal waste generated in Africa is expected to double between 2018 and 2025. The Pentagon's plans to develop weapons and strategies to penetrate Russian or Chinese complex defense networks are a waste of time and could lead to the defeat of U.S. military forces on the future battlefield. The amount of us nuclear waste is expected to increase to about 140,000 metric tons over the next several decades.
