Recycling, Upcycling, and Waste Management: Current Sustainability Practices and Future Trends explores how these processes contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental. This book answers crucial questions about the importance of recycling and upcycling in accelerating SDGs and achieving sustainability. It examines the circular economy, innovative solutions for sustainability, the role of artificial intelligence in waste reduction, and international perspectives on waste management.
Additionally, the book offers practical case studies and best practices, providing readers with examples of successful recycling and waste management initiatives. It discusses the integration of AI in minimizing waste and presents a global view on the challenges and opportunities in waste management.
