Sustainable waste management is a major step towards the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. This book covers all technical, managerial, and legislative aspects of waste management at a global scale, providing a detailed description about different types of wastes, their characteristics, legal perspectives, and sustainable practices for their management. It explains developments in waste treatment technologies (classified based on waste type) and understanding the fundamentals of circular economy in waste management, supported by various case studies.
Features:
Discusses fundamentals of solid waste management for sustainable waste management practices
Describes technological aspects of waste management covering various physicochemical, biochemical, and thermochemical processes
Summarizes regulatory framework for waste management at the global level
Highlights the scope for circular economy in managing solid wastes
Includes dedicated chapters on case studies imperative for capacity building in waste management
This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and professionals in environmental engineering, and waste management.
