      abstract = {"Sustainable development approaches cannot be met unless  waste management is addressed as a priority. Waste Recovery  and Management: An Approach Toward Sustainable Development  Goals presents a comprehensive examination of environmental  pollution and health hazards caused by differing types of  waste, its recycling and other e-waste management  strategies, and potential political and legal  interventions. It also presents the available  carbon-recycling methods and investigates how these might  be applied to reinforce waste management in both  industrialized countries as well as developing and emerging  economies. Each chapter includes valuable data and case  studies that serve as practical guidance for academicians,  researchers, and stakeholders for quantifying the impacts  of waste, and for planning integrated solid waste  collection and treatment systems, thereby working toward  sustainability at a global level. Features: Covers both  traditional and new technologies for identifying and  categorizing the sources and nature of various types of  waste. Provides methods for the safe disposal of municipal  solid wastes, plastic waste, bio-medical wastes, hazardous  wastes, and e-wastes. Explains practical measures to cover  the broad spectrum of everyday applications of waste  management for environmental sustainability. Contains a  focused discussion of the current scenario and future  research directions for different types of waste in each  chapter"--},
