Sustainable and Circular Management of
Resources and Waste Towards a Green Deal highlights the importance of
resource recovery, phosphorus management, climate action, clean energy
transition, and a circular economy. The world is facing significant
challenges, including climate disruption, environmental changes,
pollution, and population explosion. Sustainable management of finite
natural resources within the carrying capacity of the
bio-geo-hydrosphere is the crux of transforming the global economy for a
sustainable future. Moreover, keeping raw materials in circulation as
long as possible and minimizing the amount of waste generated has grown
in significance as a part of transitioning to a circular economy (CE)
model.
- Introduces innovative solutions in green energy transition
- Provides
case studies as examples of a circular economy implementation in
selected sectors of the economy, including water and wastewater, raw
materials, and construction
- Suggests actions to counteract climate change and its consequences for people and the planet
