Corresponding to the rapid increase in population, the increase in the number of domestic
wastewater treatment plants, as well as the increase in domestic sludge levels above acceptable
levels, pave the way to utilize sewage sludge in a variety of different applications and usage
areas. Using sewage sludge in agriculture, landscape plant cultivation, and other agricultural
areas has a number of advantages, including the ability to make rational use of waste without
damaging the environment as well as delivering fertilizer benefits to the plant due to the high
organic matter content of the wastewater sludge. Aside from these advantages, the most serious drawbacks of waste sewage are pathogenic bacteria, heavy metal contamination, and the
presence of potentially hazardous compounds. The use of existing waste in the soil in appropriate proportions and in methods that are compatible with ecological life, on the other hand,
will contribute to the fertilization of agricultural areas, providing an alternative to the fertilizer
industry. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, are a
global call to action to end poverty, safeguard the environment, and guarantee that everyone
lives in peace and prosperity. It is expected that this research will help to promote awareness
about the reuse of waste within the context of a sustainable environment, as well as shed light
on the application of sewage sludge to agricultural fields in accordance with the Sustainable
Development Goals. Furthermore, the support for sewage sludge recycling in agricultural regions for long-term development goals is shown.
