Synopsis

Convert diverse waste streams into valuable products and resources

The complexity of waste streams presents significant challenges for resource recovery and circular economy implementation. Sustainable Waste Valorization addresses these challenges through six structured modules covering biomass, municipal solid waste, industrial and hazardous waste, food waste, plastics, and polymer waste. Authored by Khaled Zoroufchi Benis and Sonil Nanda, both researchers at Dalhousie University specializing in circular process engineering and waste-to-resource conversion, this reference delivers technical depth across each waste category.

Each chapter examines biochemical, thermochemical, and mechanical transformation methods while detailing both environmental and economic impacts. Sustainable Waste Valorization covers recovery of biomaterials, metals, biofuels, and nanomaterials from diverse waste streams. The modular structure allows practitioners to focus on specific waste types and their unique processing challenges, from municipal solid waste logistics to hazardous industrial waste handling and treatment protocols, the recovery of valuable components and metals from e-waste, and embedding circularity in cellular agriculture.

Readers will also find:

• Detailed technical approaches for valorizing biomass, food waste, plastics, and polymer waste into recoverable resources and secondary products
• Analysis of municipal solid waste processing challenges alongside industrial and hazardous waste treatment methods and their environmental impacts
• Coverage of resource recovery pathways for biomaterials, metals, biofuels, and nanomaterials derived from multiple waste stream categories
• Circular economy frameworks connecting waste valorization technologies to broader resource management and sustainability objectives across industries
• Evaluation of environmental and economic impacts for each waste transformation method, supporting informed technology selection and process design

Sustainable Waste Valorization serves process engineers, chemical engineers, power engineers, bioengineers, and industrial chemists working in waste processing and resource recovery. By organizing content around specific waste types and their transformation pathways, the book enables practitioners to identify applicable technologies and evaluate their viability for targeted waste-to-resource applications.
