Waste management is a critical global challenge, with increasing urbanization and consumption patterns leading to a surge in waste generation. Conventional waste management practices have often led to environmental degradation and resource depletion. However, the necessity for sustainable solutions has spurred a wave of innovation in waste management, transforming what was once considered trash into valuable resources. This paper delves into a comprehensive exploration of innovative solutions in waste management that not only minimize environmental impacts but also contribute to economic growth and social well-being. The paper begins by highlighting the pressing need for reimagining waste management practices and presents a historical overview of waste management methods. It then shifts focus to contemporary challenges posed by excessive waste accumulation and the negative consequences of improper disposal. The main body of the paper discusses a range of innovative approaches that have emerged across various domains of waste management.
