Abstract
This chapter examines sustainable waste management practices within the hospitality industry, a crucial segment of the global tourist sector that significantly impacts environmental health through waste production (Oluwole et al., 2020). Initially, it outlines the industry's structure and its role in waste generation, emphasizing the necessity for sustainable practices to mitigate environmental harm. The chapter highlights the environmental repercussions of poor waste management, including pollution and biodiversity loss, stressing the urgency for proactive measures. Additionally, it reviews the legal frameworks governing waste management and their importance in ensuring sustainability. Strategies for reducing, reusing, recycling, recovering, and disposing of waste are discussed, along with the role of technology in enhancing efficiency. Case studies illustrate successful initiatives, underscoring sustainable waste management's economic, social, and corporate benefits. These benefits include cost savings, improved public perception, and enhanced corporate responsibility.
