| Abstract: | As human societies continue to innovate and invent new technology, growing concerns about the proliferation of waste have become prominent. The significance of implementing sustainable practices at a commercial and societal level is thoroughly investigated in this study, with an emphasis on minimising the effects of the fast fashion industry and e-waste on the environment. The research is organised based on relevant data (i.e., primary, and secondary), and it includes analysis on various business alternatives, such as recycling facilities, and how to encourage society to reduce waste. This study presents a review of the literature on the environmental effects of untreated waste disposal as well as consumer and manufacturing behaviour. It also contains information gathered from primary sources like surveys and interviews. The study findings include a variety of possible alternatives for the actual allocation of used items, as well as methods to inform the public about the significance of avoiding overconsumption. By altering actual behaviours and lowering pollution, companies, consumers, and society would gain from a more sustainable environment. Existing research demonstrating that developing countries, notably in Latin America and Africa, bear the largest impacts makes further investigation of this problem necessary. As a result, recommendations made in this study are intended to assist in raising awareness on this problem and to safeguard communities that are frequently exposed to the associated pollutants. Likewise, the study offers recommendations that businesses may use to conduct themselves ethically and recycle waste sustainably |
