Abstract:
As the economy is increasing, the quantity of waste is increasing with the same proportion, however, the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle (3Rs) technologies and policies are introduced through the strategic planning and management. Resource efficiency and waste management lacks a holistic approach which cover the whole chain of product life cycle and its management. The effective waste management helps us to increase resource efficiency and to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources. Sustainable production and consumption from the extraction-material use-disposal, could be directly linked with waste management. Addressing the problems and solutions of waste management system from ‘waste’ to ‘resource’, ‘waste and resource management’ and ‘circular economy’ all reflect the significant impact of decoupling between economy and waste management
