Description

Solid Waste Management: Principles, Practices, and Sustainable Strategies by Ijeoma Georgiana Ayuba, Chineme Christabel Ifuwe, and Ache Stella Achuenu is a comprehensive academic treatise that offers a multidisciplinary exploration of modern solid waste management. Addressing one of the most critical challenges in urban and environmental planning, the book synthesizes foundational principles with cutting-edge strategies for sustainable waste management across diverse socio-economic and geographical contexts.

Structured in seven thematic parts, the text spans from theoretical foundations to practical applications. It systematically covers waste classification, generation patterns, collection systems, treatment methods, and policy frameworks. It also delves into advanced topics such as smart waste technologies, the circular economy, and climate change implications. The authors employ an evidence-based approach augmented by global case studies, making the volume particularly relevant for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students in urban planning, environmental science, and public health.
