Sustainable Resource Recovery and Zero Waste Approaches
Coordonnateurs : Taherzadeh Mohammad, Bolton Kim, Wong Jonathan, Pandey Ashok
Sustainable Resource Recovery and Zero Waste Approaches covers waste reduction, biological, thermal and recycling methods of waste recovery, and their conversion into a variety of products. In addition, the social, economic and environmental aspects are also explored, making this a useful textbook for environmental courses and a reference book for both universities and companies.
