Synergizing Sustainability for Integrated Waste Management. Sustainable Environmental Waste Management Strategies, Alok Prasad Das,Selcan Karakuş, Editör, Springer, London/Berlin , Singapore, ss.245-263, 2026
ustainability in nanotechnology focuses on developing processes that minimize environmental impacts while maximizing resource efficiency. Green nanotechnology aims to create eco-friendly materials and products that enhance environmental performance throughout their lifecycle. These innovations include more efficient energy storage systems, renewable energy solutions, and sustainable manufacturing techniques. On the other hand, nano-waste, resulting from the production, use, and disposal of nanomaterials, presents potential risks. These materials, due to their extremely small size, can accumulate in the environment, posing hazards to ecosystems and human health. Nano-waste management is still a developing field, with ongoing research into how nanomaterials degrade and behave in the environment. Strategies for minimizing nano-waste include recycling, lifecycle analysis, and developing biodegradable nanomaterials. Balancing the benefits of nanotechnology with its potential environmental risks is crucial for ensuring its role in a sustainable future. Collaborative efforts between scientists, industries, and policymakers are necessary to mitigate nano-waste concerns and promote responsible development of nanotechnologies. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive perspective by addressing topics such as the contributions of nanotechnology to sustainability, potential threats of nano-waste on the environment and health, nano-waste management and recycling strategies, energy recovery, economic opportunities of nano-waste, regulatory frameworks, and policy requirements.
