Abstract: (117 Views)
Background and Objectives: This study, based on the DIN 91436 standard framework, examines the role of new approaches in realizing sustainable waste management systems and reducing negative environmental impacts.
Materials and Methods: This review study was conducted through a systematic search of international databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science) and Persian databases (SID, Magiran, IranMedex, and IranDoc) for articles published from 1990 to 2025. The search strategy included a combination of keywords and articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then the extracted data were categorized and clarified through thematic analysis.
Results: According to studies, green ergonomics is effective through sustainable design of products and processes, reducing waste at source, and increasing recycling and is in line with the prevention stage within the framework of the DIN 91436 standard. Also, by analyzing human-environment interactions, Ergoecology provides a systematic framework for achieving zero waste with an emphasis on technical, social, and environmental dimensions. By combining these two approaches within the framework of the aforementioned standard, an effective path towards a circular economy and sustainable waste management is mapped out, while investigations of chemists, consist of some materials or methods that can be degraded and damage environment overall and are in contrast with zero waste.
Conclusion: Varity of experimental sciences, researches and technologies finally tag various damages to environment that some of them debated in this study. Achieving zero waste requires the integration of the three main pillars of green ergonomics, ergo-ecology, and the implementation framework of the DIN 91436 standard. This integration not only reduces waste and conserves resources, but also promotes human health and environmental sustainability. To institutionalize this approach, it is necessary to expand interdisciplinary research, incorporate its principles into policymaking, and invest in education and culture among all stakeholders.
