Waste Management for a Sustainable Future - Technologies, Strategies and Global Perspectives
Summary
This book or special issue examined waste management technologies and global strategies for sustainable futures, covering biological treatment, chemical recycling, microplastic control, and policy frameworks for reducing plastic environmental impact.
The worldwide waste crisis threatens to bring our cities, health, and planet to the brink of catastrophe. This book delivers a comprehensive exploration of waste management strategies essential for ensuring a sustainable future. The volume focuses on solutions that address the complex challenges posed by industrial, municipal, and bio-waste while highlighting future innovations in waste-to-energy technologies, recycling systems, and pollution control. Waste Management for a Sustainable Future - Technologies, Strategies and Global Perspectives revolutionizes our understanding of modern waste solutions. This groundbreaking work reveals: • Innovative solutions for managing challenging waste streams—from microplastics to e-waste. • Successful case studies of municipal waste management from around the world. • Practical considerations for implementing sustainable waste systems in both urban and rural contexts. This book is a well-structured, highly insightful, and high-quality guide based on real examples and modern research. Policymakers, environmentalists, and practitioners alike will find many nuggets that can be acted upon to make trash a resource. Waste management is no longer limited to disposal; the future of waste management entails constructing a circular economy in which today's trash is tomorrow's raw material. Through global perspectives and practical strategies, it aims to inspire innovation and collaboration towards a cleaner, greener future.

Strategies and technologies for sustainable plastic waste treatment and recycling
This review covers current and emerging methods for recycling and treating plastic waste to reduce environmental pollution. The authors emphasize that improperly managed plastics break down into microplastics that contaminate ecosystems, and they evaluate strategies including chemical recycling, biodegradation, and energy recovery as more sustainable alternatives to landfilling.
Integrated approaches for plastic waste management
This review surveys the full spectrum of approaches — recycling, biodegradation by microbes, and chemical or physical treatment — for managing the enormous global volume of plastic waste that otherwise persists in the environment for hundreds of years. The authors argue that no single method is sufficient and that an integrated strategy combining multiple techniques is needed to prevent plastics from fragmenting into environmentally harmful microplastics. The review provides a useful overview for policymakers and researchers looking to reduce plastic pollution at scale.
Environmental Impact of Plastic Waste: Strategies for Sustainable Management
This systematic review summarizes the environmental and health impacts of plastic waste and evaluates strategies for sustainable management. It highlights that plastic pollution threatens ecosystems and human health through microplastic contamination, and examines approaches like recycling, biodegradable alternatives, and policy interventions to reduce exposure.
Recycling and Management of Microplastic Waste
This review examines recycling and management strategies for plastic waste, describing the technical and economic challenges of reducing plastic pollution and the remediation approaches that have been attempted to address microplastic accumulation in the environment.
Challenges and opportunities in sustainable management of microplastics and nanoplastics in the environment
This review examines the challenges and emerging strategies for sustainably managing micro- and nanoplastic pollution in the environment. Researchers assessed various approaches including advanced filtration, biodegradation, chemical recycling, and policy interventions aimed at reducing plastic waste. The study emphasizes that achieving meaningful progress will require combining technological solutions with stronger regulations and changes in how plastics are produced and consumed.
