Abstract

This review summarizes that methodology of bioactive compounds for sustainable recovery by the principles of circular economy, green chemistry and advanced waste management. Ecological damages are mitigated by the use of incineration, chemical treatment of waste and filtration of wastewater. The 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), Waste to Energy (WTE) and thirdly, reducing cost through resource use are more sustainable lab practices. Emerging technologies like AI driven waste monitoring should be used to treat and improve their efficacy. To contribute in economic growth and to prevent environment, sustainable recovery strategies are designed to regulate compliance for better future.
