The waste management industry's transformation is fuelled by eco-conscious startups driving innovation and sustainable practices. AI-driven waste sorting, IoT-enabled collection, and circular economy solutions are gaining momentum. Managing electronic waste and reducing plastic waste are the urgent need of the hour. However, challenges persist with mounting waste volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and improper disposal risking environmental harm. Widespread adoption of responsible waste practices faces resistance due to low awareness. To overcome these hurdles, collaborative efforts and investment in innovative technologies are vital. Educating communities about environmental impact will foster change, paving the way to a greener future. Supporting waste management startups will play a critical role in building a cleaner and more sustainable environment for generations to come.
