Series: Urbanization, Industrialization, and the Environment

This unique volume covers many aspects of waste management in developing countries. There is a focus on various sources of waste including the pressing issues of agricultural, medicinal, industrial, and urban waste, and emerging problems with e-waste, nanowaste, and microplastics in marine environments. This volume addresses the critical environmental issues resulting from rapid urbanization and industrialization, particularly in the developing world. High-end technologies that can utilize waste as a resource to generate products, processes, and revenue are also discussed.

Features

Presents technical perspectives on emerging wastes in developing economies

Discusses the issues of e-waste, which is growing three times faster than general municipal waste globally

Covers the spectrum of nanowaste to upcycling in the market

Discusses management of marine plastic debris and microplastics

Diverse audience including those in solid waste management, electrical and electronic technology, and the medical industry
