Abstract

Our planet is facing numerous environmental and ecological problems due to increased economic activities and development processes. A major portion of these environmental problems are related to waste in production sectors such as textile, construction, and packaging. A significant part of the solid waste is non-biodegradable which induces hazardous chemical extraction processes. Burning of such waste products results into toxic gas emissions into the atmosphere. This has led to extreme pollution of the soil, rivers, and the sea. Due to the non-biodegradable nature of the waste, it takes hundreds of years to decompose naturally. However, the concept of circular economy shall be considered a high-yielding remedy to the existing issues associated with solid waste management. It can also strengthen the approach to sustainable development. In this study we provide a literature review on recent developments in the up cycling of different types of solid wastes, potential emerging technologies and new opportunities for a sustainable environment. The study presents strong association of circular economy, sustainable production and waste management. Also it offers a thorough view of the potential significance and current commercial applications of the developed biobased materials in relevant areas such as packaging, construction and textile. The review also discusses evolution of circular economy by ways of designing of new products and enacting of new regulations for industries to embrace it. The movement towards circular economy stems from aspirations to tackle urgent environmental issues, cultivates financial success, alleviate the effects of climate change, advance social justice and safeguard the welfare of current and future generations. It signifies a pattern change towards method of manufacturing and consumer behavior that are more fair, regenerative and sustainable.
