Though wastes are hazardous or non-hazardous nature based on their source, open dumping disposal is commonly done for both types waste. The adversity associated with waste enhances the health impacts. However, this has potential to recycle minimize scarcity. circular economy works concept reuse, recycling, recovery convert into a resource. Thus, can benefit environment economic growth build ecology. opportunities challenges ecology reuse recycling be identified preserved. Therefore, study analyzed impact, regulations, prioritized criticality, developed solution strategies alleviate them. Two case studies byproducts, i.e., fly ash red mud, different income groups discussed study. It highlights minimized enhanced secondary materials. In addition, supports achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) 11 12 ecosystem.
