A chapter in Global Pathways for Efficient Waste Management and Inclusive Economic Development, 2025, pp 1-12 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter lays out the goals this book presents, additionally, it introduces efficient policies and provides incentives to reduce, reuse, and recycle construction waste. Enhancing landfilling restrictions to boost recovery rates is also stressed in this chapter. Major takeaways of the book are mentioned in this chapter, namely, the emphasis on the need for comprehensive waste management, including preventative policies, evaluation methods, and incentive systems. These methods aim to achieve a 70% recovery rate using the Netherlands’ CDW rehabilitation techniques as a benchmark. Other nations may learn from these initiatives to improve their waste management systems and contribute to a circular economy. The chapters in this book proposal explore waste management from multiple perspectives, giving a holistic view of its challenges and opportunities. The chapters follow a logical progression, starting with solid waste management in Pakistan (Chap. 2) and then discussing how innovation affects waste management (Chap. 3), and smart waste management (Chap. 4). Chapter 5 examines waste management policy formulation using environmental economics, and Chapter 7 examines domestic waste disposal in Odogbolu Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. Chapter 6 discusses the global effects of including waste management in the EU ETS. Next, the authors discuss circular economy and mining (Chap. 8), providing a broader perspective on sustainable resource use. The proposal then discusses innovative waste management methods like Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) technology to create a circular waste economy (Chap. 9) and digital water economy formation for sustainable management (Chap. 10), and concludes with an in-depth analysis of e-waste recycling factors (Chap. 12). The proposed book seamlessly integrates regional case studies, policy analysis, technological innovations, and global perspectives to improve sustainable waste management practices. The chapters’ diverse perspectives form a cohesive narrative that addresses waste management’s many challenges and opportunities.
