Abstract
This study examines the role of sustainable architecture in waste management, using Sweden’s ReTuna Återbruksgalleria, a recycling mall, as a key example. It highlights how sustainable design can address environmental issues by incorporating urban ecology, energy conservation, water management, waste reduction, and community engagement. ReTuna is celebrated for its innovative approach to reducing waste, repurposing materials, stimulating the economy, raising environmental consciousness, and collaborating with locals. The research delves into sustainable architecture’s complexities, especially in waste management, by reviewing extensive literature to offer a comprehensive view. It underscores the importance of eco-friendly practices beyond academic circles, aiming to motivate various sectors to act. The insights gained aspire to shape a globally sustainable, environmentally mindful built environment.
