Is it true that the elimination of industrial hazardous waste is technologically feasible?

The elimination of industrial hazardous waste being technologically feasible is a complex issue. While many technologies exist for the treatment and management of hazardous waste, claiming total elimination may be misleading. Technologies such as incineration, solidification, and bioremediation can significantly reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste, but often, completely eliminating it is not achievable.

Instead, most methods focus on minimizing, treating, or safely disposing of these wastes rather than achieving complete elimination. Moreover, challenges, such as regulatory compliance, economic factors, and the need for continued monitoring, complicate the scenario further. Hence, while progress continues to be made in managing hazardous waste, claiming complete elimination to be technologically feasible does not reflect the current realities of waste management practices.
