This book presents state-of-the-art solid waste management in developing countries. It outlines the impact of poor solid waste management on human health and the environment and examines appropriate solid waste management technologies for the developing world. Contributions define waste recovery in a circular economy context and the informal sector's role, describe how sustainable and integrated solid waste management in developing countries contributes to reducing greenhouse gases and their effect on climate change, and analyze the financial and legislation aspects of solid waste management.
Waste Management in Developing Countries will be an essential reference for researchers, scientists, and students in waste management and environmental sciences, as well as waste management practitioners, policymakers, municipal officials, and related industry professionals.
