In order to handle the growing amount of non-biodegradable trash, creative and sustainable solutions are becoming more and more necessary as the global waste management challenge grows. To create a complete and sustainable waste management model, this investigation suggests a revolutionary approach that combines Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) with effective non-degradable waste processing technology. Utilising cutting-edge waste processing technology that can efficiently handle non-biodegradable materials including plastic, e-waste, and other persistent pollutants is the main goal of this. With the goal of reducing their negative effects on the environment and advancing the concepts of circular economy, these technologies include sophisticated sorting systems, chemical treatments, and recycling procedures. Furthermore, the efficiency and real-time monitoring of waste processing processes are improved by the incorporation of MANETs into the waste management paradigm. MANETs enable smooth data transmission and communication between the central control centres, waste processing units, and monitoring sensors that make up the waste management system. Because of this connectedness, waste processing activities can be dynamically optimised, facilitating prompt resource allocation and decision-making. In addition to addressing the environmental issues raised by non-biodegradable garbage, the suggested paradigm advances the creation of intelligent and networked waste management systems. Because MANETs are used, the system is scalable and adaptable, making it appropriate for a variety of urban and rural areas. The model incorporates the Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) algorithm for resource allocation. The integration of ACO optimises resource allocation, contributing to the reduction of environmental footprints associated with waste processing. The interconnectedness facilitated by MANETs, in conjunction with ACO, enables dynamic optimisation of waste processing operations, ensuring prompt resource allocation and decision-making. This investigation envisions a sustainable waste management model that minimises pollution, promotes resource recovery, and establishes a robust framework for addressing the growing challenges of non-degradable waste on a global scale by combining cutting-edge waste processing technologies with a strong communication infrastructure. The results of the investigation have a significant impact on waste management procedures by encouraging a more ecologically friendly and sustainable way to deal with non-biodegradable garbage. © 2024, Scibulcom Ltd.
