Abstract
The chapter theoretically examines the improvement of waste management in academic libraries as a stride towards ensuring environmental sustainability in line with the United Nations' agenda for sustainable development. The chapter in its introductory part established the place of waste management within the development framework. It exposes the concept and practices of waste management in libraries with particular reference to reusing, recycling, pulverization, repairing, and effective disposal. Thereafter, global best practices in waste management applicable to libraries were examined. The chapter also investigated the strategies and challenges to the implementation of waste management in libraries. Conclusion and recommendations were made accordingly.
