In our urbanizing world, which mostly features unsustainable consumption and production patterns, addressing solid waste, plastic pollution is becoming more pressing than ever before. And the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in late 2019 creates additional challenges for waste management, especially in developing countries like Sri Lanka. It is affecting our societies and economies and has had a deep impact on our everyday lives. While protecting lives and recovery of livelihoods are at the core of national and local policies and actions, proper management of waste, including of household, healthcare, and another hazardous waste is an essential civic service to minimize possible secondary impacts upon health and the environment.
