Abstract
In our society, Waste Management (WM) plays a vital role. The complexities of waste management is discussed in introductory piece delves into exploring effective methods of handling it. The primary driver of increasing waste production is the growing global population. A challenging task is to tackle the vast amounts of waste generated required significant investment in labor, technology, financial resources, and expertise too. Varied strategies and techniques for managing solid waste is implementing worldwide. Recently, many researchers have developed specific processes to convert waste into valuable resources like fuel, energy, and fertilizers, aiding in reducing waste burdens and conserving natural resources. However, these advancements come with their own set of obstacles. This document provides a detailed review of solid waste management, highlighting its major obstacles and uncovering hidden prospects in waste that could lead to a more sustainable future. The current paper attempts to highlight the green composites in sustaining the waste management and explore the efforts to increase public awareness, educate and enforce policies by adopting the latest methods.
Keywords: Waste Management, Critical Success Factor, Eco-Sustainability, Clean Environment, Green Composites.
