Synopsis

This handbook discusses the relationships and effects of climate change on waste treatment and its sustainable management. The waste management sector is in a unique position to transition from a minor source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a major contributor to reducing GHG emissions. This book compiles the potential impacts and benefits of various waste management systems in terms of climate impact. It investigates the global climate impact of municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste, agricultural waste, and hazardous waste management systems.

Key features:

• Reviews advanced and innovative processes for sustainable waste management
• Covers green waste treatment technologies using microbes, green soldier flies, earthworms and bacteriophages
• Discusses the negative and positive effects of waste treatment and disposal
• Provides relevant case studies from different regions of the world
• Examines the role of climate change on emerging pollutants

The book is meant for researchers and professionals in environmental sciences, chemical and biochemical engineering.
