The book will provide a comprehensive overview of innovative technologies and methods for converting various waste streams into valuable products. Structured across six modules, the book addresses specific waste types, such as biomass, municipal solid waste, industrial and hazardous waste, food waste, plastics, and polymer waste, focusing on each one's unique challenges and potential solutions. Each chapter will discuss technical approaches to waste transformation - such as biochemical, thermochemical, and mechanical methods - while highlighting environmental and economic impacts.
