Trash/Waste management technologies provide solutions for trash disposal, management, recycling, and processing. NASA has developed various technologies and capabilities for in-space and on-surface trash/waste management. This includes trash compaction, trash thermochemical conversion/deconstruction, bioregenerative life support systems for wastewater management, metabolic waste management, waste stabilization, and in-space manufacturing of recycled materials.
