Infos

The ever increasing global waste generation crisis demands innovative and sustainable solutions that go beyond traditional management practices. This book addresses the key challenges posed by waste across water, air, and land, presenting engineered strategies for sustainable management. Waste Engineering and Management ASustainable Approach brings together leading international experts to explore advanced valorization technologies, circular economy models, and green engineering innovations that transform waste into wealth. This comprehensive volume presents a multidisciplinary framework integrating environmental engineering, biotechnology, materials science, and policy perspectives to achieve sustainable waste utilization. By addressing the full spectrum of waste from agricultural, municipal, and industrial to electronic, plastic, marine, and hazardous the book provides actionable pathways toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building a circular, resource-efficient future. With contributions from renowned scholars and researchers worldwide, the book highlights cutting-edge strategies, real-world case studies, and life-cycle-based approaches to maximize resource recovery and minimize environmental footprints. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, student, or policymaker, this book equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to understand and implement next-generation waste management for a cleaner, greener future. This edited volume bridges the gap between waste management theory and sustainable engineering practice. It introduces readers to state-of-the-art valorisation technologies and policy mechanisms that can revolutionize waste handling and promote global sustainability. Waste Engineering and Management A Sustainable Approach is an indispensable resource for advancing knowledge, innovation, and practice in environmental and waste management disciplines.
