Handbook of Recycling: State-of-the-art for Practitioners, Analysts, and Scientists

Handbook of Recycling, Second Edition, Winner of the International Solid Waste Association's 2014 Publication Award, is an authoritative review of the current state of recycling, reuse and reclamation processes commonly implemented today and how they interact with one another. Fully updated to cover recent developments in the field, this second edition has also been restructured to cover General Aspects of Recycling, Applications, Technology, Recovery and Collection, Economics, Governance and Policy. Two new appendices have been added (Material Flow Analysis and Process Simulation), as well as several new chapters on global recycled material floa The book concludes with a review of the policy and economic implications, including the impact of recycling on energy use, sustainable development and the environment. This book is a crucial aid to students and researchers in a range of disciplines, from materials and environmental science to public policy studies. Uses examples from current professional and industrial practice in concert with policy and economic implications Portrays recent and emerging technologies in metal recycling, by-product utilization and management of post-consumer waste Uses process and system simulation as well as lifecycle analysis to show how to reclaim valuable resources from products, scraps, residues, wastes INDICE: Part 1 - Recycling in context 1.
