Recent Advances in Plastic Waste Management: Cases and Perspectives from Developing Countries (en Inglés) - Vinod Kumar Chaudhary

This volume examines plastic waste generation and management from global, regional, and sectoral perspectives. It covers strategies for reuse, reduction, refusal, recycling, energy recovery, the development of biodegradable plastics, and policy measures that support more effective waste management. Chapters address the environmental impacts of plastic waste, advances in recycling and waste-to-energy technologies, thermochemical conversion processes, low-cost and scalable innovations, and case studies from a range of geographic and industrial contexts.

The book also examines circular economy approaches, policy and regulatory frameworks, and the application of artificial intelligence and digital technologies to plastic waste management. Together, these chapters present current research, technological developments, and practical approaches for reducing plastic waste and improving resource recovery.
