The analysis highlights the paradigm change following the “zero waste” idea in solid waste management principles from linear to circular economies. The circular economy (CE) is a conceptual model used in a closed-loop approach to better resource use and waste minimization that could be suitable for waste management. The study also describes the policies of the circular economy for solid waste management, which boosts the country’s economy and identifies ways of optimizing local resources.
