This is the first ever book to analyse outsourcing – contracting out public services to private business interests. It is an unacknowledged revolution in the British economy, and it has happened quietly, but it is creating powerful new corporate interests, transforming the organisation of government at all levels, and is simultaneously enriching a new business elite and creating numerous fiascos in the delivery of public services. What links the brutal treatment of asylum seeking detainees, the disciplining of welfare benefit claimants, the profits effortlessly earned by the privatised rail companies, and the fiasco of the management of security at the 2012 Olympics? In a word: outsourcing.

Where and how wastes disappear, and how the environment is affected by the process, are issues that affect cities and towns around the world. Recent investigations have convincingly shown that waste poses water, air, and public health dangers that necessitate highly efficient engineered controls. An inexpensive, effective, method for assessing impacts and risks of a system and devising management plans is to develop mathematical and quantitative models that are sufficiently representative to allow examination of physical systems as units subject to environmental factors.

Even as malnutrition in the form of hunger and obesity affect the health and well-being of millions of people worldwide, a significant amount of food is lost or wasted every day, in every country, and at every stage in the supply chain from the farm to the household. According to a 2011 estimate by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about one-third of food produced is lost or wasted globally. Beyond quantity estimates, however, less is known about the impacts on farmers, food prices, food availability, and environment of reducing food loss and waste.

English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 240 Pages | ISBN : 3031648722 | 56.4 MB
Sludge from water and wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste, and contamination of natural water resources have emerged as major problems in emerging nations. Urbanization, industrialization, population growth, and other human-caused phenomena are the main causes. One of the biggest obstacles to the environment’s sustainable development is the rate at which solid waste is increasing. Unmanaged solid waste and sludge from wastewater and water treatment facilities may be the source of environmental issues and health risks. The book emphasizes the value of utilizing recycled materials while presenting innovative techniques and technological solutions to address the issues described above. The majority of developing nations are able to implement waste treatment technologies, such as composting, anaerobic digestion, plastic recycling, and the use of agricultural waste in construction, because they are affordable, environmentally friendly, and generate economic returns. The book’s objective is to assist all those working in the world’s top academic and research institutions who are engaged in teaching, research, and solid waste management, water, and wastewater treatment studies. Future researchers, scholars, scientists, and professionals in the domains of environmental science and engineering, as well as international and local authorities and policy makers in charge of the management of solid wastes and sludge, will find this book to be of immeasurable value. Universities throughout the world can create fresh prospectuses on environmentally friendly and sustainable waste and sludge management that connect to the book’s theme. This book can be a very helpful resource for creating and managing initiatives for recycling and trash reuse.
