The concept of a circular economy has garnered significant attention in recent years, as concerns about the depletion of chemical sources and the growing accumulation of waste products have become increasingly urgent environmental issues. By extracting valuable resources from these waste materials, we can significantly reduce our reliance on non-sustainable virgin feedstocks and minimize the amount of material destined for landfill sites.

This book, with its diverse perspectives from a global authorship, seeks to introduce systems thinking to the field of waste and resource management. The comprehensive range of topics covered includes the utilization of biogeochemical processes for resource recovery, as well as the application of engineered nanomaterials in this domain. The information presented is relevant to both academia and industry, making this book an invaluable resource for those engaged in circular economy research, green chemistry, and waste and resource management.

The broad scope and interdisciplinary nature of the topics addressed in this book make it a crucial resource for researchers, professionals, and policymakers alike. By exploring innovative solutions and approaches, we can work towards creating a more sustainable and circular economy that benefits both the environment and society as a whole.
