Waste Engineering: Closing the Loop from Cradle to Cradle
暫譯: 廢棄物工程：打造從搖籃到搖籃的循環閉環
Ting, David S-K, Oyeyi, Abimbola Grace
商品描述
Waste Engineering: Closing the Loop from Cradle to Cradle serves as a state-of-the-art reference on advances in waste management, bringing together international experts to showcase innovations that transform waste into usable resources. It provides professionals, researchers, engineers, policymakers, architects, and environmentalists with cutting-edge insights on zero waste realization, hazardous waste management, ecological alternatives to harmful practices, and wastewater treatment technologies. It also serves as an indispensable resource for graduate students working on sustainability and those seeking solutions for closing waste loops. The approach requires making biodegradable materials economically attractive, improving resource recovery, adopting frugal lifestyles, and engaging all stakeholders in the simple yet powerful philosophy: "waste not."
Key Features:
- Includes case studies and effective methodologies for turning waste into valuable resources, with special attention to hazardous waste management and ecological alternatives to harmful practices.
- Demonstrates how waste engineering directly supports multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, offering practical approaches to simultaneously address health, water quality, sustainable cities, and responsible consumption challenges.
- Provides analysis of policy frameworks and economic models that can accelerate the transition from linear to circular economies, making natural and biodegradable materials more socially and economically attractive.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《Waste Engineering: Closing the Loop from Cradle to Cradle》是一本介紹廢棄物管理最新發展的前沿參考書，匯集國際專家，展示如何透過創新技術將廢棄物轉化為可用資源。本書為專業人士、研究人員、工程師、政策制定者、建築師及環境保護工作者提供零廢棄（zero waste）的實現、有害廢棄物管理、有害作法的生態替代方案，以及廢水處理技術等最新洞見。本書也是從事永續發展研究的研究生，以及尋求廢棄物循環解決方案者不可或缺的資源。這套方法要求讓可生物分解材料在經濟上更具吸引力、改善資源回收、採取節約型生活方式，並讓所有利害關係人共同實踐「不浪費」（waste not）這項簡單卻強大的理念。
主要特色：
• 收錄將廢棄物轉化為寶貴資源的案例研究與有效方法，特別關注有害廢棄物管理，以及有害作法的生態替代方案。
• 展示廢棄物工程如何直接支持多項聯合國永續發展目標（UN Sustainable Development Goals），提供實務方法，同時因應健康、水質、永續城市及責任消費等挑戰。
• 分析可加速從線性經濟轉向循環經濟的政策架構與經濟模式，讓天然材料與可生物分解材料在社會及經濟層面更具吸引力。
