Circular Economy Practices in Solid Waste Value Chains

This book presents a detailed analysis of the potential of the circular economy (CE) to revolutionize solid waste management (SWM) in developing economies. It bridges the gap between theory and practice by offering real-world, actionable insights and examples to support the development of sustainable and resilient SWM systems. The book focuses on developing economies across several regions, including (but not limited to) Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa, and includes relevant case studies.

Key features:

• Detailed coverage of the solid waste value chain
• Strong emphasis on practical circular economy practices
• Review of measures for implementing practical strategies
• Focus on perspectives from developing economies
• Use of case studies to demonstrate circular economy practices in developing contexts

This book is intended for students, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and community leaders in the field of environmental engineering.
