Waste management encompasses the design of systems, facilities, and urban strategies that handle refuse responsibly. Architects and designers address waste through infrastructure redesign, material recovery, and the transformation of disposal sites into productive community spaces.

The community explores waste-to-energy plants reimagined as public amenities, schools and structures built from reclaimed materials, vertical farming systems that reduce urban waste, and smart technologies that reshape how communities interact with disposal. Projects range from large-scale industrial architecture to grassroots initiatives that redefine resources and engage residents in sustainable practices.
