Household waste (compostable material, paper, glass, textiles, household chemicals, plastic, water, and e-waste)
Industrial waste (metals, building materials, tires, medical, batteries, hazardous mining, and nuclear)
Societal waste  (ocean, military, and space)
The future of landfills and incinerators
Covering all the issues related to waste in one volume helps lead to comparisons, synergistic solutions, and a more informed society. In addition, the book offers the best ways of managing waste problems through recycling, incineration, landfill and other processes.
