Solid Waste Management, 1st Edition is a comprehensive environmental engineering textbook that establishes fundamental frameworks for processing public, industrial, and hazardous waste materials. Designed for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, researchers, engineers, and technicians, the text connects scientific principles to practical waste handling operations across diverse modern infrastructure environments.

The content categorizes solid waste into six major streams: municipal and rural solid waste, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste, industrial waste, electric and electronic waste, and sewage sludge. Coverage spans essential processing pathways, including pre-treatment, reuse and recycling, anaerobic digestion, aerobic composting, incineration for power, pyrolysis, and sanitary landfill operations.

Additionally, the publication incorporates dedicated discussion of artificial intelligence applications used in solid waste processing and recycling. This modern focus enables upper-level engineering students, researchers, and technical practitioners to evaluate automated sorting and operational tools within sustainable waste management systems.
