This book deals with the two main trends that are reshaping the waste management world, the fourth industrial revolution (IND4.0) and the circular economy. The book approaches both trends from both theoretical and practical perspectives, describing their impact on the waste management sector through specific examples and case studies. The author describes the general framework in which these trends are evolving, discussing demographics, urbanization, global warming, and the rise of the middle class in developing countries. Readers will be guided to understand both the business and social importance of IND4.0 and circular economy for waste management in practice, the perspectives and the obstacles for a wasteless future, and the crucial role that the waste management sector can play in providing a role-model in which IND4.0 meets circular economy, delivering positive environmental, health and social benefits. | Industry 4.0 And Circular Economy by Antonis Mavropoulos, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
