About this Item

Managing solid waste is one of the biggest challenges in urban areas around the world. Technologically advanced economies generate vast amounts of organic waste materials, many of which are disposed of in landfills. In the future, efficient use of carbon-containing waste and all other waste materials must be increased to reduce the need for virgin raw materials acquisition, including biomass, and reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere, mitigating climate change. Moreover, expeditious development in information and communications technology (ICT) has made the machines more powerful and efficient, but at the same time, there is a simultaneous decrease in product life leading to an extensive rise in the annual production of e-waste, or electronic waste. Considering the health hazards and environmental implications of e-waste, it has become a global problem that needs serious attention.Safe Disposal Methods of Municipal Solid Wastes for a Sustainable Environment covers waste management principles and strategies in different fields and corresponding applications. The book also focuses on the waste management strategies for a sustainable environment that have emerged. Covering key topics such as waste, energy, and recycling, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for environmentalists, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Synopsis

"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 provide information about the application of waste management strategies in different interdisciplinary areas such as municipal solid waste, plastic waste, bio-medical wastes, hazardous wastes, e-wastes, soil remediation technologies, environmental impact assessment and many more. 3. To focus on the waste management strategies fora sustainable environment that have usually emerged in a decade or two. 4. To cover the content from basic fundamental to complex application logically for a better understanding of the reader. 5. To present the latest information on the increase in solid and hazardous wastes due to economic growth, urbanization, and industrialization. To discuss the main challenge for governments of different nations and international organizations to develop environment-friendly strategies for efficient waste management to save human beings and the environment from its adverse effects"--
