The concept of a circular economy has been gaining increasing attention
in recent years. Many of the sources of chemicals we have become reliant
on are dwindling and the accumulation of waste products poses a serious
environmental problem. Recovering resources from these waste materials
can reduce our dependence on less sustainable virgin feedstocks, as well
as reducing the quantity of material going to landfill sites. Bringing
together a broad range of cross-disciplinary topics on resource recovery
this book provides a valuable resource for those working in circular
economy research, green chemistry and waste management.
