Abstract
Because of modern day overpopulation, rapid industrial and lifestyle growth, and Khulna citys geographic location, natural resource consumption is rising while their availability is deteriorating. This paper has been designed with an attempt to inform the policymakers of Bangladesh regarding the potential of waste management and recycling as a renewable source of energy. Due to economic and environmental initiatives, metal, paper, and rubber waste recycling rates continue to rise.The total daily waste collection volume considering four areas of the city (Fulbarigate, Khalishpur, Sheikhpara, and Zero Point) was found to be9.91tons. Its daily output is made up of metal (7.1tons), paper (2.2tons), and rubber (0.59tons). The substantial amount of these components in Khulnas waste composition emphasizes the significance of frequent collection and disposal.The current daily market value of this waste has been estimated to be BDT 4,36,879 in total. Each year, the income is close to BDT 160million.
