Circularity in Action: Solid Waste Management for Resource-Efficient Systems promotes innovation and shares best practices based on the principles of circular economy and resource conservation on different aspects of sustainable solid waste management. It also explains sources, impacts and recycling potential of emerging wastes.
This book presents management strategies including emerging green infrastructure and digitalization for recycling and gainful application of waste. In addition, it highlights various environmental and health hazards while providing different management strategies based on the principle of resource recovery and circular economy that can help to minimize the environmental impacts.
