Hazardous waste is the waste that is more harmful to the environment as well as to human beings. Non-hazardous waste is waste which is not harmful to human health but can cause severe damage to the environment. Waste management can be described as the prevention of waste by the 3Rs recycling, reuse and recovery of the waste product present in the market.
