Abstract

Large amounts of solid waste have been generated due to the recent acceleration of urbanization and population growth, possessing considerable limitations to waste management systems and infrastructure. This book represents different types of solid wastes collected from domestic/households, agricultural/agro-industrial, and industrial sources. It illustrates the commonly used waste management methods, including physical, chemical, physicochemical, thermal, thermochemical, biological, and biochemical techniques. Information about solid waste management and sustainability is connected to the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The barriers, challenges, and opportunities associated with fulfilling the sustainability concept in waste management are defined. The book’s outputs support the involvement of stakeholders, policy-makers, and public and private sectors in maintaining sustainable solid waste management strategies.
