Strategic Perspectives in Solid Waste and Wastewater Management delves into cutting-edge and conventional biotechnologies for waste management, encompassing socio-economic considerations, techno-economic viability, models, and modeling tools. Moreover, it adopts a comprehensive life-cycle assessment approach to solid waste (SW) and wastewater (WW) management. These innovative technologies hold immense applicability in addressing real-world situations. The exponential growth in the quantity and diversity of SW and WW, stemming from human activities and their potential detrimental impacts on the environment and public health, has heightened awareness of the urgent requirement to embrace novel technologies for effective management of both SW and WW. While minimizing waste generation and promoting reuse and recycling are crucial, the technologies employed for waste management play a pivotal role in mitigating challenges. In addition to recovering substantial energy, these technologies can significantly reduce the overall volume of waste requiring final disposal, enabling better management for safe disposal while adhering to pollution control standards.
