Abstract
Environmental sustainability has become an urgent global concern due to the rapid increase in waste generation, industrialization, and urban expansion. Improper waste disposal and ineffective pollution control mechanisms continue to threaten ecological balance and public health. This study examines public awareness and perception regarding waste management practices, recycling technologies, and pollution control strategies. The research is based on primary data collected from 100 respondents using a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that while awareness levels are relatively high among young and urban populations, consistent implementation and behavioural commitment remain limited. The study emphasizes that technological innovation alone is insufficient; sustainable progress requires active public participation, policy enforcement, and educational initiatives. The paper concludes that integrated waste management systems and improved recycling infrastructure are essential for achieving long-term environmental sustainability.
