Waste minimization is a technique used to achieve lessening of
waste, mainly via reduction at source, but also includes recycling
and reuse of materials. Recycling process is a very significant ele-
ment of the sustainable waste management system that follows the
principle of reducing the amount of the waste disposed by recov-
ering the useful resources which would otherwise end up in the
disposal sites. Recycling is a series of activities involving collection,
sorting and processing or converting used or discarded materials
into useful products. Discarded materials are collected from the
municipal waste stream and used as raw materials in the prod-
uct manufacturing process rather than for energy generation. Lots
of materials comprising MSW can be reduced, reused and recycled
for which have markets value. Recycling process coverts waste into
valuable resources that would otherwise become waste. Materials
such as paper, glass, plastic, leather, rubber and metals can be recov-
ered from MSW stream (Bhoyar et al., 1996) and sent to facilities
that can process them into new materials or products. Recycled
paper is well recognized raw product for paper industry. The econ-
omy as well as environment is benefited from waste minimization
process. It helps in reducing the burden of final waste to be disposed
off.
