Flow charts, with example problems, are included to support decision making based on country, city size, population, waste generation volume, type, geographical location, economic, social and political aspects. The book begins with an overview of current waste management practices, covering waste generation and collection, processing and final disposal, composting, recycling and waste to energy solutions, with a summary of current challenges for developing countries. This is followed by a series of case studies from over 10 countries, and the presentation of a roadmap for sustainable waste management. Through a series of flow charts and example problems, waste management professionals are supported to design a complete system, taking into consideration material flow, cost effective material recovery, anaerobic digestion, composting, reuse and recycling of materials, disposal/temporary repository, training and human capacity building.
