This handbook discusses the relationships and effects of climate change on waste treatment and its sustainable management. The waste management sector is in a unique position to transition from a minor source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a major contributor to reducing GHG emissions. This book compiles the potential impacts and benefits of various waste management systems in terms of climate impact. It investigates the global climate impact of municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste, agricultural waste, and hazardous waste management systems.Key features:Reviews advanced and innovative processes for sustainable waste managementCovers green waste treatment technologies using microbes, green soldier flies, earthworms and bacteriophagesDiscusses the negative and positive effects of waste treatment and disposalProvides relevant case studies from different regions of the worldExamines the role of climate change on emerging pollutants The book is meant for researchers and professionals in environmental sciences, chemical and biochemical engineering.

This book addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with the management of lignocellulosic waste in the context of climate change and sustainability. The book is divided into three sections exploring the potential of lignocellulosic waste biorefineries, examining waste management strategies in the face of climate change, and providing insightful case studies showcasing innovative waste management systems. It discusses bioprocessing techniques for converting lignocellulosic waste into fuels and chemicals, the application of laccase in lignocellulose degradation, and the utilization of microbes for developing biofertilizers from crop stubble waste. The chapters also examine the influence of climate change and emerging pollutants on agro-residue composting processes and the resulting compost quality. Towards the end, the book presents real-world examples of innovative waste management systems. This book would be useful for a wide range of professionals, researchers, policymakers, educators, and students seeking to deepen their understanding of waste management, climate change mitigation, and sustainable practices in the context of lignocellulosic waste.Key Features:Provides comprehensive coverage of lignocellulosic waste management and climate changeFocuses on climate change resilience and the role of waste management in mitigating environmental impactsPresents insights into sustainable practices and circular economy approachesExamines in-depth exploration of bioprocessing and bioconversion techniquesIncludes practical strategies for converting waste into valuable resources, including fuels and chemicals
