商品描述
This book includes a variety of cases detailing novel municipal waste management strategies, including use of microorganisms, harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and implementing advanced waste management techniques. Sustainable municipal waste management, coupled with a zero waste approach and circular economy principles, represents a pivotal strategy for addressing the escalating challenges posed by municipal waste pollution. Municipal waste encompasses a diverse array of materials generated from households, businesses, institutions, and public spaces, including organic waste, plastics, paper, metals, and glass. As urbanization accelerates and consumption patterns evolve, the volume of municipal waste continues to surge, exerting significant pressures on ecosystems, public health, and natural resources. Municipal waste pollution arises from improper disposal practices, inadequate waste management infrastructure, and unsustainable consumption habits. Sources of municipal waste in the environment include landfills, incineration facilities, illegal dumping sites, and littering, contributing to soil, water, and air pollution. The indiscriminate disposal of waste leads to a number of adverse effects and impacts, including habitat destruction, wildlife entanglement, groundwater contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, and the proliferation of disease vectors. To address these challenges, innovative approaches blended with sustainability principles are essential. With these strategies, communities can transition toward more resilient and resource-efficient waste management systems

本書包含多種案例，詳細說明創新的市政廢物管理策略，包括使用微生物、利用人工智慧和機器學習技術，以及實施先進的廢物管理技術。可持續的市政廢物管理，結合零廢物方法和循環經濟原則，代表了解決市政廢物污染所帶來的日益嚴峻挑戰的關鍵策略。市政廢物涵蓋來自家庭、商業、機構和公共空間的各種材料，包括有機廢物、塑膠、紙張、金屬和玻璃。隨著城市化加速和消費模式演變，市政廢物的產量持續上升，對生態系統、公共健康和自然資源造成重大壓力。市政廢物污染源於不當的處置做法、不足的廢物管理基礎設施以及不可持續的消費習慣。
環境中的市政廢物來源包括垃圾填埋場、焚燒設施、非法傾倒地點和隨意丟棄，這些都會導致土壤、水源和空氣污染。隨意處置廢物會導致多種不良影響，包括棲息地破壞、野生動物纏繞、地下水污染、溫室氣體排放以及疾病媒介的擴散。為了解決這些挑戰，結合可持續性原則的創新方法至關重要。透過這些策略，社區可以朝向更具韌性和資源效率的廢物管理系統轉型。
