Abstract: Global technologization and the process of constant expansion of production became a reaction to the quick population growth and an increase in the living standards and needs. They led to the active use of a larger volume of natural resources and the formation of production and consumption waste. Formation of waste is a global problem that affects the environment, economy, and public health. Innovations are a powerful tool for solving this problem since they offer various strategies to minimise the volume of waste. Industry 5.0 emphasises the integration of technologies, environmental sustainability, and cooperation to raise the effectiveness of using resources and minimise waste. Sustainable development practices help countries develop so as to adapt to challenges connected with climate change, which will contribute to the preservation of important natural resources for future generations. In the modern world, sustainable development, recycling, and environmental solutions are very important. Innovations in waste management provide significant advantages for the preservation of nature and the effective use of resources. Implementing environmentally-friendly methods, such as energy efficiency, waste minimisation, and the use of renewable resources, manufacturers strive towards long-term value and reduction in their environmental footprint. Waste reduction contributes to the efforts on sustainable development and raises the company's reputation. At the same time, in the modern, environmentally conscious society, consumers often demand products and services from companies that prioritise sustainable development. Quality 5.0, integrated into the Industry 5.0 system, offers many advantages. It allows revealing and solving problems with quality, minimises losses, raises operational effectiveness, and contributes to the culture of constant improvement. Apart from this, it improves transparency of the production processes, which contributes to customers’ trust and loyalty (Frick and Grudowski, 2023). Sustainable innovations are connected with the movement away from the traditional models of growth and development, which were often caused by degradation of the environment and social inequality, towards more sustainable forms of progress, which prioritise the well-being of humans.
