Since ancient times, man has been exploiting natural resources to secure his life and using the land to dispose of his waste, which did not constitute a major problem due to the small size of residential areas, the small amount of waste resulting from them, and the large area of ​​​​vacant land that could be used. Since man began to gather in the form of villages and cities, the problems of collecting and disposing of waste began to impose themselves, and these problems became more complicated with the increase in population density in cities and villages and the expansion of human economic activity. With the emergence of the industrial revolution and the adoption of large-scale technology, industries constituted a huge source of pollution with large amounts of waste being discharged into the environment.
