Increasing population, booming economy, rapid urbanization and the rise in community living standards
have significantly accelerated the solid waste generation in the world. Solid waste has become one of the
global environmental issues. Continuous depletion of natural finite resources is leading the globe to an
uncertain future. To prevent further depletion of global resources, sustainable consumption and a strategic
waste management system would be required. One approach that has been suggested as a means of
addressing these concerns is that of the concepts of “ZeroWaste”. However, transforming currently overconsuming
activities into zero waste is still challenging. In this study, the challenges of solid waste
(focusing on industrial waste e-waste, food waste and packaging waste), zero waste practices, and zero
waste strategy were discussed to analyze the challenges and opportunities to transform traditional waste
management toward zero waste vision. “Zero Waste” is a good solution to minimizing the increasing
solid waste. However, in order to minimize the solid waste, there are still more endeavors need to be
done in future.
