        abstract = {The increasing global concern about environmental degradation and waste management has made waste minimization a pressing issue. This conference aims to explore innovative strategies for minimizing waste, focusing on green chemistry, circular economy, and sustainable practices. The world is facing an unprecedented waste management crisis, with the global waste generation projected to increase by 70% by 2050. The need of the hour is to adopt waste minimization strategies that prioritize sustainability and environmental protection. This conference brings together experts, researchers, and policymakers to share insights and ideas on waste minimization, focusing on green chemistry, circular economy, and sustainable practices. The conference will explore innovative approaches to waste minimization, including waste-to-resource, sustainable product design, and cutting-edge waste management technologies. It will also discuss policy frameworks and regulatory support for waste management, highlighting the role of governments, industries, and civil society in promoting sustainable waste management practices. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and research presentations, the conference aims to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among stakeholders, promoting a sustainable future. The conference proceedings will be published in a special issue of a reputed journal, providing a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of waste management and sustainability.},
