"Solid Waste Recycling and Processing, Second Edition," provides
best-practice guidance to solid waste managers and recycling
coordinators. The book covers all aspects of solid waste
processing, volume reduction, and recycling, encompassing typical
recyclable materials (paper, plastics, cans, and organics),
construction and demolition debris, electronics, and more. It
includes techniques, technologies, and programs to help maximize
customer participation rates and revenues, as well as to minimize
operating costs. The book is packed with lessons learned by the
author during the implementation of the most successful programs
worldwide, and includes numerous case studies showing how different
systems work in different settings.
This book also takes on industry debates such as the merits of
curbside-sort versus single-stream recycling and the use of
advanced technology in materials recovery facilities. It provides
key facts and figures, and brief summaries of legislation in the
United States, Europe, and Asia. An extensive glossary demystifies
the terminology and acronyms used in different sectors and
geographies. The author also explains emerging concepts in
recycling such as zero waste, sustainability, LEED certification,
and pay-as-you-throw, and places waste management and recycling in
wider economic, environmental (sustainability), political, and
societal contexts.
