This book presents unique connectivity between waste
management within the agenda 2030 of India. This book is the first publication
presenting up-to-date work and knowledge about waste management and waste
technologies to transfer waste to wealth in India. Besides, this book also
presents the role of waste management and its contribution to achieving a
sustainable development program in India, with vast implication worldwide. The
main focuses of the book include waste and wealth and the associated
technologies, recycling of solid waste, utilization of hazardous waste, use of
nanoparticle in waste management, urban solid waste, generation of energy from
organic waste, clean technologies, and use of waste in agriculture. The book is
a unique source of information on the transformation of waste to wealth in
India. This book is of interest to research communities in the field of waste
management in India, and in similar socioeconomic countries, but also, due to
the planetary implications, has global interest.
