Abstract:
Waste management has become a global concern nowadays. In developing countries, it’s become
more alarming, but it can be minimised through proper management policy. Developing countries
like Bangladesh waste disposal in open place and burning of waste materials are the main
implemented method and these are the final disposal systems of waste management. This paper
will review the inadequacy of waste management policies and the main impacts of it in
Bangladesh. This study will focused on the major problems and imminent risks caused by the
uncontrolled waste disposal in Bangladesh. Reviews of the scientific literature on the dire effects
of unsafe and inappropriate waste management to our environment and recommendations for
appropriate management will provide. Waste can be recycled if it is collected and managed
properly & this study will focus on that matter also, by showing a roadmap of appropriate waste
recycling policy for Bangladesh. This research paper will compare the existing waste management
policies of Bangladesh with the unerring and appropriate waste management policies of many
developed & zero waste countries. Through this comparison some new ideas on necessary
management policies and laws will be presented in the context of Bangladesh, some sustainable
policies and management will be outlined to avoid inappropriate waste management policies and
its potentially dire consequences.
