Solid waste management has been a serious issue of concern for both developing and developed nations as it stands out to be a potential threat in term of health hazards, environmental exploitation and economic burden. Hence, a properly well-designed eco-friendly solid waste management system is mandatory. Most of the developed countries had witnessed success in handling solid waste generated by households and industries by implementing closed-loop supply chain management (CLSCM) and majorly by outsourcing. But, solid waste management scenario in developing nations is entirely different and is not even in initial stage. This paper specially emphasize on leather industries solid waste management as leather industries around the world possess threat to mankind and environment. In this study, papers on leather solid waste management is selected and reviewed. Finally, a strategic comparison is made between the waste management techniques followed in developing and developed nation.
