Abstract
Waste management is critical for public health and environmental sustainability, yet traditional methods face inefficiencies and pollution challenges. Recent technological innovations, like IoT sensors and RFID tags, optimize waste collection routes and reduce fuel usage, thus lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Waste-to-energy technologies, such as pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion, convert organic waste into valuable energy sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Robotics, drones, and smart waste bins enhance waste sorting and disposal practices, reducing littering in urban areas. Collaboration among stakeholders is emphasized to drive innovation and adoption of these technologies, fostering a more sustainable and circular economy.
