Book cover Solid Waste Management

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

Abstract

In general, waste quantities are an indication of the loss of resources and the hazardous fraction in the wastes indicate the priorities and challenges for efficient waste management strategies. The specific challenges for waste management for municipal and industrial wastes are both similar, and yet uniquely different. Compositions of wastes within each category vary enormously, but as a general rule, industrial waste streams contain a wider variety and more concentrated form of hazardous materials requiring special technologies and handling procedures for them.
