Yes, nanotechnology can significantly improve waste management practices. One of the most promising applications is in the field of nanomaterials for recycling. For instance, nanomaterials can be used to efficiently recover valuable metals from electronic waste. Moreover, nanocomposites can be designed to be more easily recyclable, reducing the overall environmental impact. The development of biodegradable nanomaterials also holds promise for reducing the burden of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
