Shape the future of the environment with this comprehensive guide to solutions for the future of waste management through bioengineering. As global industries and healthcare systems continue to expand, the need for effective and sustainable waste management strategies has become more critical. The improper disposal of industrial and biomedical waste in open dumps and landfills carries the risk of providing environmental entry points for toxic compounds like heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, inorganic macrocomponents, and xenobiotic organic compounds. In spite of the health hazards and environmental risks, the management of industrial and biomedical pollutants is not prioritized in many parts of the world, creating demand for the development of effective, eco-friendly, cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable bio-based technologies to monitor and protect the environment from harmful waste. This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of advanced biotechnological methods as the ultimate solution for sustainable management of a critically polluted environment. Expert insights will introduce a sustainable biotechnological approach for the remediation of industrial and biomedical wastes and their advancement, including its technical, scientific, regulatory, safety, and societal impacts. Readers will find the volume: Introduces intelligent applications in high-priority waste and wastewater collection and management for supporting ecological sustainability;Presents the state-of-the-art in emerging technologies for resource recovery from industrial and biomedical waste and wastewater, and linear and circular bioeconomy models;Highlights integrated bioengineering systems for biomedical waste clean-up using high-throughput approaches with zero discharge, and their computational approaches and techno-economic feasibility;Explores future research for biotechnological intervention to fix the environmental issues and scientific challenges for sustainability.Audience Biotechnologists, microbiologists, nanotechnologists, environmental biotechnologists, industrialists, municipal and environmental engineers, and policymakers looking for strategies to deal with challenges of current environmental issues and waste management in sustainable and effective manners.

Waste production poses significant environmental challenges globally, stemming from orthodox practices in industrial, agricultural, and medical sectors. These practices generate vast amounts of hazardous waste, polluting water, air, and soil, and threatening human health and ecosystems. Improper disposal exacerbates environmental crises such as pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) emerge as promising alternatives to address these challenges, harnessing nature's restorative power and offering cost-effective, eco-friendly climate solutions.This edited book explores advanced NbS concepts and their role in revolutionizing conventional waste treatment methods while minimizing negative impacts on health and the environment. It delves into NbS characteristics, aims, and applications for sustainable wastewater management, advocating for interdisciplinary research and integrated nature-based systems. Topics covered include dynamic modeling, omics data analysis, computational and bionanotechnological approaches, bio hybrid systems, biomass utilization, life cycle assessment, urban circularity challenges, bio-inspired materials, hydroponics/aquaponics, and ecological sustainability. Adopting these approaches promises to reduce process costs and enhance long-term sustainability. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of nature-based interventions for bioremediation, addressing theoretical and practical aspects alongside contemporary challenges. It is a valuable reference for professionals, scientists, environmentalists, industrialists, researchers, environmental biotechnologists, students, and policymakers engaged in environmental research and strategy development. It provides insights into sustainable progress and future applications of nature-based approaches in mitigating environmental pollution, particularly industrial and municipal wastewater discharge.
