Biomass, Biofuels, Biochemicals: Circular Bioeconomy: Technologies for Waste Remediation

Circular Bioeconomy: Technologies for Waste Remediation covers in-depth information about the strategies and approaches facilitating the integration of technologies for wastewater and solid waste remediation. The book highlights the models developed to valorise wastes to produce biobased products. Wastewaters and solid waste are abundant secondary source for finite resources, hence nutrient removal from waste streams is important in a circular bioeconomy. Remediation/valorization of solid waste or wastewater would reduce environmental pollution. Integration of technologies, including life-cycle analysis and techno-economic analysis for such processes to valorize the wastes for value-added products is one of the circular economy aspects that needs to be given a holistic and all-inclusive approach and have been addressed in this book. Various chapters presented in the book have put focus on the sustainability approaches as the centre theme in order to facilitate industries and policymakers for adopting circular economy goals. Since the principle idea of circular bioeconomy is to make transition from linear economy, it involves advanced technological and designing breakthroughs to reduce waste with a closed looped system. This pioneers a cradle to cradle and waste to resources approach. Integration of various technologies has been considered as possibly the best way to utilize the wastes.
