Description
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.
