In the year 2002, it was estimated that the amount of waste generation was 12 billion tonnes annually (1.6 billion would be municipal solid waste and 11 billion could be industrial waste). By the year 2025, the amount would be 19 billion tonnes annually. The land requirement for the disposal of these waste materials is a big challenge for the civil and environmental engineers (Asokan et al., 2007; Krishna et al., 2014; Thomas et al., 2013, 2015).
