Increased population growth and climate change put continuous pressure on freshwater resources across the globe. The volume and diversity of pollutants in wastewater discharged from industry have significantly increased over the years, making conventional wastewater treatment systems unfit for managing industrial wastewater released into the environment. The limitations of existing treatments appear not only in the suitability of the technologies to abate emerging pollutants, but also in the approach used to mitigate the situation and ensure sustainability of the process. For wastewater treatment, the circular economy, which is based on the principles reduce, reuse, recycle, restore, and recover, will ensure that waste is minimized and the life-cycle value of natural resources and products is maximized. Considerable progress has been made in developing new technologies that can adequately address the issue. However, with larger volumes of wastewater to treat every day, the cost of treatment is overwhelming, necessitating the right combination of technologies that will promote the reuse of pollutants recovered during the treatment process to offset the treatment cost. Customized Technologies for Sustainable Management of Industrial Wastewater: A Circular Economy Approach presents fifteen comprehensive chapters that cover the sustainability of industrial wastewater treatment technologies with consideration to the circular economy.
