Answer

Brief Explanations:

A run - on sentence incorrectly combines two or more independent clauses. The given sentence has a single independent clause with a dependent clause ("According to a 2008 study") and a participial phrase ("creating a waste management challenge...") modifying the main clause. It is grammatically correct and not a run - on.
