Waste Management
A comprehensive treatment of all aspects of waste disposal and management illustrated by numerous practical examples. This English version includes a comparison of regulations in the USA, Canada and Japan, US environmental legislation (both Federal and State) as well as a number of case studies, such as Recycling Hawaii, barge wastes - Mobro 4000, worker safety (OSHA), and pollution prevention - Wisconsin.
Solid Waste Technology and Management
The collection, transportation and subsequent processing of waste materials is a vast field of study which incorporates technical, social, legal, economic, environmental and regulatory issues. Common waste management practices include landfilling, biological treatment, incineration, and recycling – all boasting advantages and disadvantages. Waste management has changed significantly over the past ten years, with an increased focus on integrated waste management and life-cycle assessment (LCA), with the aim of reducing the reliance on landfill with its obvious environmental concerns in favour of greener solutions. With contributions from more than seventy internationally known experts prese...
Analytical Tools for Environmental Design and Management in a Systems Perspective
The aim of this book is to link demand and supply of environmental information in the field of Life Cycle Management. The book is based on the results of the CHAINET concerted action financed by EU-DGXII for the work period 1998-2000, and is intended to build bridges between the different scientific communities in the field of Life Cycle Management. A structured approach is followed, meaning that both demand and supply of environmental information are characterised, after which the two are linked.
E-waste
E-Waste is among the fastest growing waste streams across the world today and its disposal is major problem because of presence of various toxic elements. Therefore there is an urgent need to adopt an environment-friendly and simple technology for recycling these wastes.

Effectiveness of Packaging Waste Management Systems in Selected Countries
Packaging waste is an important and growing waste stream. The amended Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive has recently been adopted, and work is underway to develop EU thematic strategies on waste prevention and recycling and on the sustainable use and management of natural resources. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (hereafter: packaging directive) is one of the few environmentally-related directives to contain directly measurable, quantitative targets. It has now been in place for ten years and this is an opportune time to take stock of this important policy area. The EEA has conducted a pilot study of the effectiveness of packaging waste management systems in five EU Member States with the aim of gaining practical and concrete experience of ex-post policy effectiveness evaluation, and to track progress in this policy area.

How Much Bioenergy Can Europe Produce Without Harming the Environment?
Increasing the use of renewable energies offers significant opportunities for European countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the security of energy supplies. However, the substantial rise in the use of biomass from agriculture, forestry and waste may result in additional pressures on farmland and forest biodiversity, as well as on soil and water resources. It may also counteract other current and potential future environmental policies and objectives, such as waste minimisation or environmentally-oriented farming. This report makes an assessment of the potential contribution of biomass to energy production without increasing pressures on the environment, based on the development of a number of environmental criteria for bioenergy production on a European-wide scale.
