The study aimed to identify the extent of the impact of environmental governance on improving and sustaining the waste system in Egypt by researching environmental governance and its proposed models and scientific problems related to environmental governance and its relationship to waste management in Egypt.
The researchers relied on theoretical rooting through the inductive approach, from books, references, and Arab and foreign studies, then assessing the current situation of the waste system in Egypt through reports, data and information available to us, and then conducting a field study by designing a survey list that includes a set of questions were directed to the study sample, which numbered (383) instrument , and the study concluded that there is a direct statistically significant relationship between the three variables of the independent variable environmental governance (environmental performance, internal environmental innovation, integration between sustainable suppliers) and between The three variables of the dependent variable solid waste management (sustainable procedures related to waste management, participation in waste management, awareness and attitudes of workers towards waste management and that all of these variables were associated with the environmental uncertainty variable, and that all correlation coefficients are positive and significant at a significant level (0.01).
The study recommended paying attention to the dissemination of environmental standards in industrial areas, establishing the principle of preventing environmental violations, raising awareness of how to move to the circular economy and recycling industrial waste and the need to segregate waste from source and upon disposal, supporting internal environmental innovation.
