The Malthusian theory explained that the population grows in a geometrical fashion (Young, 1969). The population would double in 25 years at this rate. However, the food supply grows in an arithmetic progression. Food supply increases at a slower rate than the population. That is, the food supply will be limited in a few years. The shortage of food supply indicates an increasing population (Bashir, 2021). The very rapid population growth will cause the amount of waste produced by humans to increase as well (Yip et al., 2018). Today, the human demand for luxury living is rising in style, drastically increasing urban concrete waste production. This results in a heavy burden on the environment as solid city waste occupies land and can pollute soil and groundwater through gas, organic and inorganic emissions. (Li et al., 2020). Some of the most common sources of waste can be classified as follows: (1) household waste, (2) commercial waste, (3) ash, (4) animal waste, (5) biomedical waste, (6) construction waste, (7) industrial waste solid waste, (8) sewer, (9) biodegradable waste, (10) non-biodegradable waste, and (11) hazardous waste (Demirbas et al., 2016). Household waste comes from 1 First Author.

Introduction The increase in population experienced by an area has both negative and positive impacts. According to the theory of Malthus (Malthus et al., 2018), population growth will always tend to outrun the food supply and that betterment of humankind is impossible without strict
