Bøger i Waste Management Principles and Practice serien

Solid waste management is a global concern, and landfilling remains the predominant management method in most areas of the world.

This book addresses one of the major solid waste streams resulting from modern society, construction and demolition debris (CDD). CDD in the past has not received the same attention as other waste streams (e.g., municipal solid waste), but with the growing recognition of the environmental and economic importance of proper CDD management, this material now is the focus of attention of many government agencies and private businesses. This book provides a comprehensive review of CDD, its characteristics, environmental risks, and regulatory requirements, along with an in-depth discussion of the issues pertaining to CDD recycling and disposal.
