abstract = {The management of solid urban waste is one of the biggest problems currently faced by
society and the economy. It can be considered a negative externality that arises as a consequence of the
production and consumption processes of industry and society. This study consists of a bibliometric
analysis to recognize the articles published and included in high-impact scientific journals, as well
as a systematic review of the literature. We have collected 1897 research articles from the Scopus
database that have been published between 1981 and 2021. We have identified the main subject
areas, authors, institutions, and countries of these publications, as well as research trends in terms of
resource management. Our findings show that since the 20th century, there has been quantitative and
qualitative growth in this line of research, especially since 2006, and that four main trends have been
defined: environment, society, technical aspects, and economic aspects. The economic field makes
reference to the circular economy and its link to the objectives and sustainable development goals of
the 2030 agenda, in which there is an important need to provide solutions to the problems generated
as a consequence of the inadequate management of solid waste.},
