Abstract

“Sustainable development” is growth that satisfies the demands of the current generation without abusing or overusing natural resources. To meet the need for sustainable development, chemical waste management is one of the most important components of today’s society to protect our ecosystem and health. A multitude of individuals worldwide are impacted by the millions of tons of waste that are produced daily because of the global population boom. Waste comes in several forms, including chemical waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste and leftovers, and municipal solid trash. To deal with chemical or any type of waste, raising public awareness is one of the most important aspects of waste management, and it can only be accomplished when governments and other stakeholders around the world give this health issue their full attention. The message can be disseminated via media and associated channels to interact with different communities and reach every corner of the nation. Individuals must also take part in waste management practices by becoming self-motivated and attending to their everyday needs. To ensure the prosperity and well-being of humanity and, above all, our planet Earth, it is imperative that we take these efforts to raise awareness about chemical waste management.
