ABSTRACT
Circular economy is gaining popularity across the world, but its implementation in Jaipur District, as in other developing nations, is lacking. The Covid-19 epidemic has resulted in massive volumes of hazardous trash that require specific handling. The goal of this study was to evaluate CE and waste management efforts in Jaipur District, India during the Covid-19 epidemic. Two quarantine healthcare centers in Jaipur District were used as case studies, with data collected using quantitative and qualitative approaches and evaluated to establish the problems of hazardous waste management in Jaipur District. A total of 220 questionnaires were sent to the employees, with 216 (98.18%) of them being returned. There were 118 males (55%) and 98 women (45%) among the respondents, who worked in a variety of fields, including health workers (n = 108;50%), maintenance personnel (n = 62;28.7%), and cleaners/waste handlers (n = 46;21.29%). The majority of the participants (94.44%) said Covid-19 wastes should be separated, whereas 116 people (53.7%) thought managing personal protective equipment during a pandemic was reasonable. According to the findings, training and retraining of personnel on hazardous waste management at the examined healthcare institutions is critical to the implementation and enforcement of national policies for solid waste management. Rajasthan's government must dispose of biological waste in one step, straight out of town, rather than in two steps, first in Jhalana, Jaipur, and then in Jamdoli, Jaipur. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
