A conceptual framework for zero waste management in Bangladesh

The rapid expansion of industrialization, urbanization, and the influx of migrant citizens into the cities has become a cause of concern for huge waste generation in Bangladesh. These wastes include solid, and liquid contaminated with chemicals, food waste, ago-waste etc. generated from multiple sou...
