THE TREND OF THE LAST 10 YEARS IS WASTE MANAGEMENT BY PROCESSING WASTE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

The problem of increasing waste accumulation is a major problem that has become a trend in the last 10 years. The waste comes from various sources of human activities such as industrial waste, household waste, and agricultural waste which will have a negative impact on the natural environment. The increasing population and industrialization plus most people do not understand how to manage waste properly is also one of the main causes of this problem. Therefore, the objective of this research is to explore proper and efficient waste management. Utilizing the content in waste to be converted into resources that can help preserve the environment by utilizing biotechnology in this era of globalization. This research uses a literature review method related to bibliometric analysis using data from scopus, sciencedirect and vosviewer, which produces 119 documents. The result obtained is knowing how to utilize the development of biotechnology research for environmental sustainability. That is by managing waste that was originally bad for the environment into a resource for the environment. In conclusion, the trend of increasing the amount of waste will not be a problem for the environment if you know how to utilize biotechnology to manage waste properly into new resources
