Illustrated Handbook of Industrial Waste Management

Waste management has become a complex area, legally, technically and commercially. Very few organisations can still rely on the waste collection services provided through local authorities as a complete answer to their waste management obligations. Thus many firms need to identify and contract one or more reputable, licensed, specialist companies for the disposal of their waste, or discharging their legal obligations. A key development in waste management is the focus on preventing the production of waste through waste minimization and the re-use of waste materials through recycling. This links directly to procurement issues, where careful selection of materials, suppliers, process redesign for disassembly and reverse logistics can all reduce the amount of wastes produced or facilitate recycling and re-use.

Illustrated Handbook of Industrial Waste Management deals with various topics related with industrial waste such as its types, methods, handling, transportation, collection, treatment of waste. Also the book highlights the advantages and disadvantages of recycling, reusing of land filling, incineration process, composting, and transportation and also keys to reduce it etc.

Systematic industrial waste management is one of an important issue due to high environmental risks caused by improper waste disposal. Hence, this Illustrated Handbook of Industrial Waste Management is intended to investigate environmental aspects of optimal disposal and management methods of industrial waste. The purpose of this literature review is to gain an understanding of waste management planning concepts, frameworks, strategies, and components that are current and emerging in the field. A particular focus is given to literature which pertains to the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition (C&D) waste with a greater emphasis placed on information useful to organizations in the industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sector.
