Description

360 Degree Waste Management, Volume One: Fundamentals, Agricultural and Domestic Waste, and Remediation presents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding various types of agricultural and domestic waste, including their origin, management, recycling, disposal, effects on ecosystems, and social and economic impacts. By applying the concepts of sustainable, affordable and integrated approaches for improvement of waste management, the book confronts social, economic and environmental challenges. Thus, researchers, waste managers and environmental engineers will find critical information for identifying long-term answers to problems of waste management that require complex understanding and analysis.

Presenting key concepts in the management of agricultural and domestic or municipal waste, this new volume includes aspects on the microbiology of waste management, advanced treatment processes, environmental impacts, technological developments, the economics of waste management and future implications.

Key features

  • Provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental challenges associated with solid wastes, highlighting sustainable management approaches
  • Describes various factors to be considered when developing waste management strategies, including techniques to reuse, reduce, recycle or recover solid waste and manage other wastes
  • Addresses contemporary issues such as the transformation of waste into value-added products
  • Presents an interdisciplinary approach to the management of various types of agricultural and domestic waste

Readership

Researchers and practitioners in environmental science, waste management, and environmental engineering. Policy makers, Non-Government Organizations, municipal corporations, industries, educational institutes and students
