Waste management is a major and complex challenge facing the world today, as previous methods and approaches have clearly become unsustainable. New ways to manage the growing amount of waste produced around the world are a subject of intense research and debate. This book seeks to inform the reader about current developments and visions of the future. The first part focuses on modern approaches to post-consumer waste recycling and optimal production. The contributors present discussions of topics including modelling of recycling in LCA, and logistics models for post-consumer waste recycling of PET containers in Brazil. Part two offers an integrated vision of waste management. Here, contributors offer their latest findings on topics including agro-industrial waste management, the challenges and remedies of e-waste disposal, and the implementation of a project to recycle municipal solid waste. The book benefits from the varied global backgrounds of its contributors, and studies range across Indonesia, Brazil, Spain, Turkey and Tanzania. The result is a text that offers a valuable global picture of an issue that effects every country today.
