This study examines the relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste management in OECD countries from 2000 to 2021 using spatial panel models. The findings indicate that energy consumption and pollutant emissions significantly impact waste production, emphasizing the need for effective policies to mitigate these effects. The study highlights the importance of developing comprehensive policies and fostering regional cooperation to enhance waste management and accelerate the transition toward a circular economy. Reducing energy consumption and emissions plays a vital role in minimizing waste generation. Therefore, governments should adopt sustainable strategies that include expanding renewable energy sources, investing in advanced recycling technologies, and improving infrastructure for waste collection, sorting, and disposal. Strengthening collaboration between public and private sectors, implementing stricter environmental regulations, and increasing public awareness of sustainable waste management practices are essential steps toward achieving long-term ecological and economic resilience. By integrating circular economy principles into policy-making, OECD countries can reduce environmental damage, optimize resource utilization, and contribute to global climate objectives.
