• Abstract: In China, the craftsmanship of earthenware boasts a time-honored history and profound cultural heritage, while globally, scholarly inquiries into earthenware technology remain vibrant. Nevertheless, with the expanding production and utilization of earthenware, the volume of waste generated throughout its entire life cycle—spanning raw material extraction, shaping, firing, and the breakage and discarding of finished products— has been on a steady annual rise. Conventional disposal methods, such as land filling and incineration not only squander valuable resources but also inflict environmental pollution, which runs counter to the contemporary ethos of green development. This study undertakes an analysis of the sources, characteristics, and environmental impacts of earthenware waste, while simultaneously exploring the advancements in green and eco-friendly disposal technologies both domestically and internationally. These technological avenues encompass resource recycling, energy recovery, and the fabrication of advanced materials, among others. Through a comparative examination of case studies across different countries and an assessment of the practical operability of relevant technologies, this study proposes a tailored green disposal pathway aligned with China’s national context. The objective is to facilitate the green transformation of the earthenware industry and underpin the achievement of sustainable economic development.
