"There are several research papers in the scientific literature about specific waste streams, to quantify their effect on the environment in a wide range of fields. However, till now, no systematic efforts have been made to come out with a book which exclusively covers waste management principles and strategies in different fields and corresponding applications. We will try to club different types of waste and waste management strategies in this book so that a reader can look at the range of materials ina single book. The book chapters including results and case studies can be of reference for academicians, researchers and stakeholders for quantifying the comprehensive impacts and for planning integrated solid waste collection and treatment systems, forimproving sustainability at a global level. The main objectives are: 1. To improve and manage solid waste systems through the application of modern management techniques. 2.

To focus on the waste management strategies fora sustainable environment that have usually emerged in a decade or two. 4.
