Publisher's Synopsis
Innovations in urban waste management are crucial for addressing the growing challenges posed by increasing urbanization, population growth, and environmental concerns. Traditional waste disposal methods often lead to pollution, health hazards, and inefficient resource use. By incorporating innovative technologies such as smart waste bins, automated sorting systems, waste-to-energy conversion, and advanced recycling techniques, cities can significantly reduce landfill use, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve valuable resources. Community involvement and participation will lead to greater success. We need to support Swachh Bharat Mission in this great initiative. This book is dedicated to Prof. D. P. Sharma, the ambassador of Swatchh Bharat Mission, who has made pioneering contributions towards this sector. This book also presents brief case studies on Indore, Bhopal, Surat, Varanasi and other cities which have excelled in Urban Waste Management..
