This book provides insights into the current status of waste
management in India and research approaches to minimize waste and
convert useful waste into energy alternatives towards achieving
environmental sustainability. It also discusses the implications
of waste on human health and approaches to minimize the burden.
Waste disposal, especially municipal solid waste (MSW), is one of
the major environmental problems facing Indian cities. Inadequate
management of MSW poses risks to inhabitants and is also a
breeding ground for various diseases. Environmental health and
the impact of waste on health is another major topic that has to
be addressed.

In India, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and social
welfare groups play a major role in collecting and managing
waste. However, waste management is still a huge problem and has
also expanded into rural areas. Contributed research papers from
academic studies and industry focus on applied waste-management
methods currently being practiced, waste strategies and
ecofriendly approaches such as bioremediation. The outcomes of
the research contributions in the book will be useful in
implementing and developing a task force to combat the
waste-management and energy-demand crises.
