Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation Sustainable Waste Management

This book explores different aspects associated with the genesis of solid waste management problems and brings forward the challenges posed by the solid waste management sector and its impact on the environment. Additionally, the book discusses various effects of improper waste management practices considering the environmental, social, governance, engineering, and management aspects emphasizing on waste minimization strategies and circular economy approaches. This book encapsulates numerous ideas for developing novel strategies towards sustainable waste management, incorporating technology transfer and capacity building for sustainable waste management, and enforcing the stringent policy framework for environmental protection from improper waste management practices. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students studying solid waste management, waste valorization, biorefineries, biofuels/products/processes, as well as for geo-environmental engineers, biochemical/chemical engineers, and biotechnologists working in industries and government agencies, policy makers, conservationists, NGOs working for environment protection, etc. This book explores different aspects associated with the genesis of solid waste management problems and brings forward the challenges posed by the solid waste management sector and its impact on the environment.
