Approaches in Waste
Management
Waste generation from industrial and domestic sectors is imposing a very challeng-
ing environment and the intervention of biotechnology offers a viable solution for
their effective management. This book deals with the employment of biotechnologi-
cal aspects for waste treatment including the basic concepts, biochemical processes,
and various technologies for pollutant reduction and production of value-added
products for a cleaner environment. It covers different aspects of biotechnology in
the conservation of environment dealing with the sustainable management of waste
through the concept of waste-to-economy along with the management of environ-
mental pollutants and natural resource conservation.
• Focuses on ecological approaches i.e., the use of biocatalysts and biotechno-
logical approaches for waste management
• Explores the different biotechnology-based solutions for the removal of
environmental pollutants
• Covers various microbiological routes, technological options for waste to
energy, removal of contaminants, and the production of value-added products
• Reviews the bioremediation potential of microbial strains and enzymes
• Explores the significant routes of biotechnological means of obtaining
eco-friendly products substituting the hazardous chemical-based products
This volume is aimed at researchers and professionals in environmental, biotechnol-
ogy, and chemical engineering.
Novel Biotechnological Applications for
Waste to Value Conversion
Series Editors:

Manish Srivastava, IIT BHU Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India
Solid waste and its sustainable management is considered as one of the major global
issues due to industrialization and economic growth. Effective solid waste manage-
ment (SWM) is a major challenge in the areas with high population density, and
despite significant development in social, economic and environmental areas, SWM
systems are still increasing the environmental pollution day by day. Thus, there is an
urgent need to attend to this issue for green & sustainable environment. Therefore,
the proposed book series is a sustainable attempt to cover waste management and
their conversion into value-added products.
