The amount of waste produced by people has reached very high levels due to urbanization and industry, and has become more dangerous for the environment, health, and climate. But traditional approaches to solid waste management involve only the collection and disposal of waste and are likely to create more negative effects. Green chemistry embraces modern concepts of waste management that allow preventing waste generation and designing completely safe substances. Only with the help of developments in industry was it possible to boost the economy and employment levels in different regions of the planet, but it brought additional problems such as increased amounts of industrial waste. When disposed of improperly, industrial waste will lead to the contamination of air, soil, and water. Therefore, sustainable waste management is a vital topic for organizations and governments. This research paper will examine the role of the science of chemistry as a means of promoting circumventions of the issue of waste management. The analyzed research is based on secondary information collected from different sources such as scientific journals and articles, books, online resource, and governmental resources. The paper will look at various methods of treating industrial waste used in industries across the globe
