Recycling and Reuse Approaches for Better Sustainability

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVENG))

Abstract

As a result of social and economic activities of people, materials that completed useful life that should be removed from the environment we live in are classified as waste. Nowadays, except for local uses (burning, warming, etc.), there are few uses for general purposes (alternative fuel, etc.). Energy usage and waste amount are increasing rapidly with the increase of the population in the world and the development of industry and technology. Control of energy consumption and waste is crucial for a sustainable future. In this study, the use of pyrolysis for agriculture and forest wastes was investigated based on the literature. For this purpose, many studies on pyrolysis of organic wastes such as agriculture and forest wastes have been compiled and presented on a common basis. The methods followed in the selected studies are examined and given in the form of tables under the common headings in order that different researchers can reach easily. It has been generally agreed that the pyrolysis process, which is considered as an alternative waste management method, is an energy and environmentally friendly application for waste and that this application can be used to reduce waste and recycle waste.
