 Free Download Nicky Gregson, "The Waste of the World: Consumption, Economies and the Making of the Global Waste Problem" English | ISBN: 1529232449 | 2023 | 254 pages | PDF | 14 MB Despite frequent claims that waste is being reduced, consumer-reliant economies, everyday consumption and the waste industry continue to produce and demand more waste. Combining a lucid style with robust empirical and theoretical research, this book examines the root causes of the global waste problem, rather than simply the symptoms. It challenges existing waste policies, highlighting what needs to change if we are to get serious in tackling this global problem. It concludes with policy implications for shifting waste from an 'end-of-pipe' concern to being at the heart of the debate over decarbonization.  Free Download Sustainable Food Waste Management: Anti-corrosion Applications English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819711592 | 287 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 33 MB This book highlights established research and technology on corrosion inhibitors and bio-waste management. It further discusses emerging aspects of utilizing food waste in the field of corrosion inhibition. The topics covered include overview on bio-waste and their management, different types of food waste (i.e., agricultural, vegetable and fruit/fruit juice, plant waste, slaughterhouse trash), and their application as corrosion inhibitors and mitigation of corrosion. It also discusses economic aspects and commercialization of food waste as corrosion inhibitors. The book is a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals working in the areas of sustainability, food waste management, and material science.  Free Download Spectacles of Waste by Warwick Anderson English | 2024 | ISBN: 1509557407 | 186 Pages | True PDF | 1.3 MB  Free Download Waste Management in Climate Change and Sustainability Perspectives: Organic and Medical Waste English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032439076 | 179 Pages | PDF (True) | 27 MB This handbook discusses the relationships and effects of climate change on waste treatment and its sustainable management. The waste management sector is in a unique position to transition from a minor source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a major contributor to reducing GHG emissions. This book compiles the potential impacts and benefits of various waste management systems in terms of climate impact. It investigates the global climate impact of municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste, agricultural waste, and hazardous waste management systems.
 Free Download Technical Landfills and Waste Management Volume 1: Landfill Impacts, Characterization and Valorisation by Abdelkader Anouzla, Salah Souabi English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 274 Pages | ISBN : 3031526325 | 34.2 MB A "zero waste" society and the "circular economy" trend are urgently needed. Even if achieving 100% trash recycling and a fully circular economy may not always be attainable, aiming toward this goal might result in a sustainable future. Municipal solid wastes pose a hazard to the environment because of open burning, landfills, reckless disposal, and many other factors. Waste is being thrown away in more significant quantities and is made up of several different materials. Municipal solid waste (MSW) characteristics must be carefully considered when developing, implementing, or modifying solid waste management systems. Local waste variables that vary with cultural, climatic, socioeconomic, and institutional capacities are crucial for developing efficient waste management techniques.  Free Download Solid Waste Management: Principles and Practice English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031504410 | 876 Pages | PDF (True) | 35 MB This book discusses solid waste management issues from global to local level. It offers an overview of the methods and paradigms of this burgeoning field, ranging from generation, characteristics, quantity, and practical challenges. The book discusses the major issues with respect to environmental health and economy, which are related to solid waste management. Furthermore, it contains updated information on topics such as toxicology, climate change, population pressure, urbanization, energy production, building and community design, and disaster preparedness in the context of solid waste management.  Free Download Tatiana Konrad, "Plastics, Environment, Culture, and the Politics of Waste" English | ISBN: 1399511734 | 2023 | 352 pages | PDF | 9 MB Plastics, Environment, Culture and the Politics of Waste examines plastic as a distinct cultural, political, and environmental phenomenon. It outlines the intricate relationship with plastic that humanity has been building over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, drawing on examples from history, the arts, and literature, as well as examining the place of plastics in the current health, environmental, and energy crises. The aim of this book is to reveal the complex nature of plastics, from their rapid incorporation into our advancing ways of life, to the reenvisioning of plastics' role in human life and how, through abundant production, consumption, and disposal of plastics, humanity has initiated a toxic invasion of natural environments and human and nonhuman bodies. Bringing together various perspectives from the humanities, this edited collection contributes to the ongoing research on plastics and petrocultures and emphasizes the crucial significance of addressing the plastic crisis through culture. ![Empire of Rags and Bones Waste and War in Nazi Germany [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0324/2c/1a0fedfe62bb045fecf89a41b0ed9a2c.jpeg) Free Download Anne Berg, Suzanne Toren (Narrator), "Empire of Rags and Bones: Waste and War in Nazi Germany" English | ASIN: B0CX5PQYB8 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~11:46:00 | 323 MB Paper, kitchen garbage, rubber, hair, fat, rags, and bones-the Nazi empire demanded its population collect anything that could be reused. Citizens conjured up schemes to squeeze value from waste or invent new purposes for defunct or spent material, no matter the cost to people or the environment. As WWII dragged on, rescued loot-much of it waste-clogged transport routes and piled up in warehouses across Europe. Historicizing the much-championed ideal of zero waste, Anne Berg shows that the management of waste was central to the politics of war and to the genesis of genocide in the Nazi Germany. Destruction and recycling were part of an overarching strategy to redress raw material shortages, procure lebensraum, and cleanse the continent of Jews and others considered undesirable. Resource extending schemes obscured the crucial political role played by virtually all German citizens to whom salvaging, scrapping, and recycling were promoted as inherently virtuous and orderly behaviors. Throughout Nazi occupied-Europe, Jews, POWs, concentration camp inmates, and enemy civilians were forced to recycle the loot, discards, and debris of the Nazi race war. In the end, the materials that were fully exploited and the people who had been bled dry were cast aside, buried, burned, or left to rot. Nonetheless, waste reclamation did not have the power to win the war.

Each year the average household produces enough trash to fill a three-bedroom home, including thousands of dollars worth of food and an ever-increasing amount of plastic, which takes hundreds of years to break down and often ends up in our oceans or our food chain. But what to do about such a huge problem? Is it just the price we pay for the conveniences of modern life? What if it were possible to have it both ways - to live a modern life with less waste?
