<p><b>Presents the major developments in new technologies and strategies for more effective recovery of matter, resources, and energy from biodegradable waste&nbsp;</b></p> <p>The volume of biodegradable waste&nbsp;produced worldwide is progressively increasing&mdash;a trend that is predicted to continue well into the foreseeable future. Developing&nbsp;sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly&nbsp;approaches&nbsp;for processing food waste, agricultural and organic industrial waste, cardboard, biodegradable plastics, sewage sludge, and other types&nbsp;of biodegradable&nbsp;waste is&nbsp;one of the most significant challenges of the coming decades.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Biodegradable Waste Management in the Circular Economy</i> provides a detailed overview of the latest&nbsp;advances&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;management&nbsp;of biomass for economic development.&nbsp;Featuring contributions from an&nbsp;interdisciplinary&nbsp;team&nbsp;of&nbsp;experts, this comprehensive&nbsp;resource&nbsp;addresses&nbsp;various&nbsp;technologies and strategies for recycling organic matter and many other renewable compounds. In-depth chapters&nbsp;describe the concept of circular economy, identify new sources of biodegradable waste, explore technologies for the production of biodegradable waste end-products, discuss the positive and negative&nbsp;effects&nbsp;of end-products on soil and the environment, and more. Throughout the text, the authors&nbsp;explore systematic approaches for secure biodegradable management in various countries and regions around the world.&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Explores the&nbsp;social,&nbsp;governance, and&nbsp;economic&nbsp;aspects of&nbsp;&ldquo;waste as a resource&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>Addresses&nbsp;metal recovery,&nbsp;biofuel and fertilizer production, and&nbsp;biosorbents&nbsp;and biochar derived from biomass waste&nbsp;</li> <li>Discusses&nbsp;nutrient recovery and energy and bio-methane production from biodegradable waste&nbsp;</li> <li>Covers use cases, collection systems, and&nbsp;regulation of&nbsp;agricultural, industrial, and municipal biodegradable waste streams&nbsp;</li> <li>Presents various&nbsp;technologies for the production of biodegradable waste end-products, including&nbsp;biorefineries, anaerobic digestion,&nbsp;and&nbsp;hybrid methods&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Reflecting the latest trends in the rapidly changing field,&nbsp;<i>Biodegradable Waste Management in the Circular Economy</i>&nbsp;is essential reading for&nbsp;researchers, engineers, scientists,&nbsp;and consultants working in waste engineering and management, resource recovery, renewable&nbsp;resources, environmental science, agricultural and environmental engineering, soil science,&nbsp;and&nbsp;bioenergy.&nbsp;</p>
