Handbook of Solid Waste Management : A Practical Guide to Collection, Recycling, Landfills, Waste-to-Energy & Circular Economy for Engineers, Students & Cities

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Solid waste management works best when engineers understand the entire material flow-not isolated technologies. Does the existing reference material feel outdated for today's technologies, e-waste, EPR, and digital tools Are worked calculations and practical decision frameworks difficult to find in one affordable technical reference Do conventional U.S./OECD examples fail to reflect constrained infrastructure, informal recovery, and emerging-city conditions Written for engineers, environmental consultants, students, municipal professionals, and city authorities, Handbook of Solid Waste Management connects foundational engineering principles with practical system implementation. Its systems-based approach follows waste from characterization and generation through collection, transfer, MRF operations, biological treatment, landfills, thermal treatment, special waste, e-waste, circular economy, EPR, digital tools, and integrated planning. Readers can learn to: - Characterize waste streams- Calculate generation rates- Plan collection capacity- Size waste-collection fleets- Improve routing with GIS/GPS- Evaluate transfer stations- Understand MRF process flows- Measure recycling performance- Assess composting and anaerobic digestion- Plan landfill airspace- Understand leachate and landfill gas- Evaluate WTE feasibility- Manage hazardous and e-waste streams- Apply EPR and circular-economy thinking- Use digital analytics and smart-waste tools A technical handbook should not merely repackage familiar concepts. This book is structured around worked calculations, decision frameworks, checklists, performance indicators, troubleshooting logic, and practical examples-features specifically identified as valuable to practitioners and certification-focused readers.It also recognizes that cities do not all operate with the same infrastructure, budgets, markets, or service conditions. Rather than assuming a single universal solution, the handbook addresses resource constraints, phased implementation, informal-sector participation, Global South and emerging-city realities, and practical engineering tradeoffs. If you want a practical foundation for modern solid waste management, then make this handbook a working reference. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9798175902434
