Nanotechnology contributes to waste management by enhancing recycling processes and developing materials that are easier to recycle. For instance, nanocomposites are being designed to be more durable and less prone to degradation, reducing the overall volume of waste. Moreover, nanocatalysts can be used to break down hazardous waste more efficiently, reducing environmental pollution. The use of nanotechnology in biodegradable materials also promotes the creation of sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics.
