Solid Waste Management describes basic principles and recent
advances for handling solid waste in an environmentally sustainable
way. Solid waste poses problems of quantity-the sheer amount is
increasing around the world-but also of environmental impact,
especially with the introduction of materials harmful to
ecosystems. This volume uses a global lens to examine all aspects
of the solid waste, including waste minimization, waste as a
resource, appropriate disposal, and efficient systems fostered by
effective public policy. Written by leading experts, the 22
chapters analyze the critical issues to be considered during the
various stages of a waste management program. Topics include:
public policies focusing on reducing waste at its source,
recycling, and minimizing disposal amounts technologies for
treating and recycling solid waste safe, efficient treatment and
disposal of hazardous and other special wastes development and
maintenance of engineered landfills and landfill mining legal
frameworks and the use of life-cycle assessment as a tool for the
waste management industry. Municipal engineers, environmental
managers, researchers, students, policy makers, and planners will
find this book to be an essential guide to social and technological
issues related to sustainable solid waste management.
