Description
Circularity in Action: Solid Waste Management for Resource-Efficient Systems promotes innovation and shares best practices based on the principles of circular economy and resource conservation on different aspects of sustainable solid waste management. It also explains sources, impacts and recycling potential of emerging wastes.This book presents management strategies including emerging green infrastructure and digitalization for recycling and gainful application of waste. In addition, it highlights 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 management- Covers 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 applications- Contributes a platform for scientists and environmental researchers and planners to discuss environmental degradation and methodological approaches to sustainable management of recycled products
