Towards a greener future of sustainable and circular practices in resource recovery from discarded disposable diaper (D3): a systematic review and meta-analysis
Improper disposal of disposable diapers (D3) poses significant environmental, public health, and economic challenges, necessitating a systematic evaluation of sustainable waste management practices, circular economy approaches, and policy interventions. This systematic review synthesizes findings from 16 peer-reviewed studies, selected from 5762 articles retrieved across Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, based on their relevance to biodegradable alternatives, recycling technologies, life-cycle assessments, and policy frameworks, to assess sustainable practices, including circular economy strategies, D3 management strategies, evaluation of recycling and upcycling technologies, and identification of actionable policies and industry recommendations. These findings indicate that biodegradable materials, while reducing landfill waste, face challenges in terms of scalability, cost, degradation, and recycling technologies, such as mechanical and chemical processing, which have the potential to recover valuable materials but remain constrained by high operational costs and contamination issues. Life-cycle assessments (LCA) highlight the trade-offs between disposable and reusable diapers, with waste-to-resource initiatives, such as diaper-to-fuel conversion and fiber recovery, offering environmental benefits but encountering logistical and regulatory barriers. Policy analysis revealed that existing regulations inadequately support sustainable D3 management, emphasizing the need for extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, government incentives, and standardized waste collection systems. By synthesizing the current research, this review provides a structured framework for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to implement scalable solutions aligned with both sustainable waste management practices and circular economy principles, ensuring an integrated approach for reducing the environmental impact of D3.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management.
The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
