Abstract
Zero waste, as defined by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA) refers to the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no substantial discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment, human health, or various other life forms. An estimated 11.2 billion metric tons of solid waste is collected every year worldwide, and approximately 5% of overall greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the decomposition of the organic elements of solid waste alone in the environment. It is projected that the production of municipal solid garbage will increase from 2.3 billion metric tons in 2023 to 3.8 billion metric tons by 2050. The predicted global direct cost of waste management in 2020 was $252 billion, which will be doubled by 2050. If we don't find a solution quickly, it may become unfixable and convert the earth into a “gas chamber.”. Waste management using AI-driven technologies is sustainable because recycling of plastic produces hazardous chemicals.
