Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide information related to waste technology processing. The study was conducted using a literature review technique. This review provides an in-depth discussion of the impact and the recent breakthrough in improving problems arising from the generation and disposal of soiled diapers. Various technologies were highlighted, especially the safer use and cleaner technology, such as biodegradation and composting to maximizing recycle process at a cheaper cost. Moreover, pyrolysis shows an opportunity to improve the efficiency of the recycling process used diapers. Finally, recycling is achievable with an economic incentive if the costs of a series of complicated processes are lower than the value of the end product. Therefore, the best technology for recycling becomes a big consideration. The consideration of which process to use may vary from national and industrial outlook in terms of rate of return, total cost, and environmental. The challenge of recycling is to reduce the cost of waste treatment while providing high-quality final products and need to focus on developing practical and environmentally friendly recovery methods.
