Effective Waste Management and Circular Economy: Legislative Framework and Strategies is an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, implementers and PhD, graduate and Under Graduate level students in universities and colleges analysing the legal framework, strategies in waste management, circular economy adoption, use of mathematical and statistical modelling in setting waste management strategies, sanitation and Hygiene in waste management. While huge wastes are wasted by dumping, there is potential of resource circulation by enforcing legislative framework to effective resource utilisation and creating business opportunities. Circularity of resources in waste streams can contribute to a more secure, sustainable, and economically sound future through the followings:Effective legal framework, strategies and policy instruments,Adoption of circular economy and recycling technologies,Support of IoT and appropriate decision making and modelling,Adoption of alternatives to plastics and other hazardous materials,Economic feasibility as business case, commercialisation, generating employment. This book addresses most of the above issues in a lucid manner by experts in the field from different countries, which are helpful for the related stakeholders, edited by experts in the field.Sadhan Kumar Ghosh, Professor at Jadavpur University, internationally well-known expert working in varied interdisciplinary fields including waste management having research collaboration in 40 countries.Sasmita Samanta, Pro-Vice Chancellor, KIIT Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India having research experience in management & academic administration.Harish Hirani, Director at CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, having wider fields of research in IIT Delhi with a number of research collaboration.Carlos RV Silva Filho, Director, Presidente, ABRELPE, Sao Paulo/SP - Brazil & Presidente, International Solid Waste Association, Netherlands has experience of working in number of international projects

This reference text discusses the potential of efficient R&D management during times of pandemic crisis and how it can provide time-bound real-life deliverables to ward-off the contamination-linked vulnerability aspects of social interaction.It discusses important topics including mechanical ventilator with oxygen enrichment, hospital waste management facility, hospital care assistive robotic devices, implementation of smart manufacturing, special purpose machines, micro machining, 3D printing, disposal of plastic waste utilizing high temperature plasma, automatic biomass briquetting plant, and fully automatic biodiesel plant.Features: Discusses novel technological innovations developed especially to effectively counter pandemics such as COVID 19. Explores how R&D modelling of technology can be interspersed with socio-economic values. Covers how innovative technological solutions can be developed as per the situational requisites and deployed in the least possible time to make maximum impact. Discusses industrial manufacturing and automation techniques. The text will be useful for graduate students, and academic researchers working in diverse areas such as mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, production engineering, manufacturing science, and automobile engineering. It covers influences of Pandemics on water and sanitation services, floating capsule-based biofilm reactor (FCBBR) methodology, and innovative segregation of waste through a mechanized model.
