This book provides a comprehensive overview of the circular economy and its applications in waste management. The book argues that in our current linear economy waste is not utilized to its full potential. In a circular economic approach, waste can be used as a resource – as products are designed to be reused, recycled, or composted.

Circular Strategies for Waste Management covers a wide range of topics, with highlights including sustainable development, circular bioeconomy, circular strategies for waste management in manufacturing, agro-waste, hazardous solid waste, bio-medical waste, tannery waste, grey water, e-waste, plastic recycling, building waste, social factors in circular economy, and the use of I4.0 tools and techniques in upcycling waste.

The book is intended for a wide audience, including students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. It is also applicable to businesses and individuals who are interested in learning more about the circular economy and its potential to reduce waste and protect the environment.
