Waste treatment and management has been a challenge for most countries nowadays, especially with the advancement of industrialization and prosperity of human lives. Traditional waste generated have been mainly dealt with by landfill or by incineration, which are criticized for unsustainable development and causing additional environmental problems, such as underground water pollution and greenhouse generation. Nowadays the type of waste has dramatically multiplied and the difficulty, thus, has been increased as well. The treatment and management of waste warrants the current policymakers, decision makers and researchers to deeply equilibrate and come up with the optimal strategy. In this lecture, various aspects of waste treatment and management will be elaborated, including the basic definition and classification for the different types of waste, current political environment for the waste treatment, fundamental physical/chemical/biological properties of the waste, methods for waste treatment and management, and future pathways for the enhanced waste management. Through the lecture and the discussion followed, ideas on how to improve the current situation of waste treatment are expected and promising to be implemented in China as well as all over the world.
