| Abstract |
Many countries across the globe are not yet exploiting the full potential energy that is inherent in waste to solve their energy and waste management crisis. This review critically examines the intersection of waste management and renewable energy optimization within the context of Zimbabwe's transition towards a circular economy. This review explores the integration of waste management practices into renewable energy initiatives to foster a circular economy in Zimbabwe. Therefore, by assessing the feasibility and benefits of incorporating waste-to-energy technologies, this study elucidates the potential for synergistic resource utilization and environmental sustainability. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing waste management frameworks and renewable energy strategies, this paper highlights opportunities for optimizing energy production while addressing pressing waste management challenges. Ultimately, the findings underscore the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to renewable energy development that leverages waste as a valuable resource in Zimbabwe's transition towards a circular economy paradigm. |
