Abstract

Waste management is a critical worldwide concern as garbage production rises as a result of rising urbanization and consumption. There is a growing interest in resurrecting age-old practices that foster harmony with the environment in the search for sustainable solutions. This chapter examines the fundamentals of Vedic trash management, which have their roots in antiquated Indian customs, and investigates the ways in which cutting-edge smart recycling technology can be used to produce an all-encompassing and effective waste management system. Through a blend of conventional knowledge and modern advancements, we can pave the way for a more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and clean future. Waste management is becoming a more pressing global issue as cities and consumerism grow. A renewed focus on traditional methods that balance with the environment is emerging in search of long-term answers. This chapter explores the use of smart recycling technology in conjunction with Vedic garbage management, which has its roots in traditional Indian practices. We want to create a comprehensive and efficient waste management system that will pave the way for a clean, sustainable, and ecologically friendly future by fusing traditional wisdom with modern innovations. By embracing the philosophy of waste reduction, this all-encompassing strategy synchronizes corporate operations with ecological balance and sustainability concepts. By employing new recycling systems and strategically implementing Vedic principles, businesses may help mitigate the environmental effects of trash production and cultivate a culture of stewardship and responsibility for future generations
