Solid Waste Management for Resource-Efficient Systems: Circularity in Action

Solid Waste Management for Resource-Efficient Systems: Circularity in Action promotes innovation and shares best practices based on the principles of the circular economy and resource conservation on different aspects of sustainable solid waste management. The book also explains sources, impacts, and recycling potential of emerging wastes. It presents management strategies, including emerging green infrastructure and digitalization for recycling and gainful application of waste. In addition, sections highlight various environmental and health hazards while providing different management strategies based on the principle of resource recovery and circular economy that can help to minimize the environmental impacts. Provides insights for effective management practices with solid waste using case studies on sustainable waste managementCovers not only the scientific and technical aspects but also environmental, legal and policy aspects of solid waste management with a particular focus on recycling potential for various gainful applicationsContributes a platform for scientists and environmental researchers and planners to discuss environmental degradation and methodological approaches to sustainable management of recycled products INDICE: Section I: Composition and characterization of different types of municipal solid waste 1.
