Opis: Resource Recovery to Approach Zero Municipal Waste

Current development results in a linear flow from raw material to waste, which cannot be sustainable in the long term. Plus, a global population of 7 billion people means that there are 7 billion waste producers in the world. At present, dumping and landfilling are the primary practices for getting rid of municipal solid waste (MSW). However, this waste contains resources that we've yet to utilize. To create sustainable societies, we need to approach zero waste by recovering these resources. There are cities and countries where zero waste is close to becoming a reality. Landfilling of organic waste is forbidden in Europe, and countries such as Sweden, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland have developed a variety of technologies to recover resources from MSW. Resource Recovery to Approach Zero Municipal Waste explores the solid waste management laws and regulations of different countries, comparing the latest resource recovery technologies and offering future perspectives. The book tackles the many technical, social, ecological, economical, and managerial aspects of this complex subject while promoting the development of sustainable societies to achieve a greener global environment. "This book is an important contribution and will benefit all those working and interested in benefitting from the use of the ever-increasing quantities of solid municipal waste. It is based on successful implementation of some of the techniques involved in practical waste recovery. It provides comprehensive coverage from the different types of waste available, the different separation and segregation methods, and the different ways in which waste can be utilized, to the laws, regulations, and institutional arrangements required. Recommended reading for teaching and research purposes." -Prof. Sudip Kumar Rakshit, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada "Moving toward resource-efficient, zero-waste societies should be a key component of any strategy developed to meet the challenges of municipal waste management. Although the concept is gaining popularity, there is a significant gap related to examples of best practices. ... This book fulfills that requirement by providing a wealth of excellent examples on how societies have approached zero waste. The book is an invaluable resource for any waste management practitioner." -Dr. Sunil Herat, Senior Lecturer in Waste Management, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia "... a comprehensive presentation of waste management scenario with a solution in practice. Micro details about methods adopted to achieve zero landfilling in Boras will provide great learning. ... good for all those who have interest in SWM sector like practitioner, academic, students and even policy makers. Boras has achieved a position to model itself as waste management leader, let world learn with this experience. I compliment authors for presenting such complex subject in a very simple and straight language." -Dr Vivek S Agrawal, Trustee Secretary, Centre for Development Communication, India "... contributes in advancing state of the art sustainable waste management worldwide ... a very useful handbook for policy makers, governmental authorities, engineers, environmental companies , university students and researchers, NGOs ...". -Dr. Efstratios Kalogirou, Vice Chair, Global Wtert CouncilSeries Preface Preface Editors Contributors An Overview of Solid Waste Management toward Zero Landfill: A Swedish Model Kamran Rousta, Tobias Richards, and Mohammad J.
