Abstract
Waste recycling in chemical engineering has gained significant attention as industries strive to adopt more sustainable practices and reduce environmental impact. Recycling waste materials, such as solvents, catalysts, and by-products, not only minimizes waste disposal but also reduces the need for raw material consumption, energy use, and pollution. This article explores the various opportunities and solutions for waste recycling in chemical engineering, focusing on innovations in recycling technologies, process integration, and waste-to-resource conversion. Additionally, it highlights the role of chemical engineers in optimizing waste recycling processes and contributing to a circular economy.
