The chapters in this book were previously published elsewhere. To cite the work contained in this book and to view the individual permis- sions, please refer to the citation at the beginning of each chapter. Each chapter was read individually and carefully selected by the editor; the re- sult is a book that provides a multiperspective look at the ways in which international policy and planning intersect with waste management. The chapters included examine the following topics: Part I: Overview and Analysis • Chapter 1 indicates that the role of biological treatments should be limited to the processing of organic fraction selectively collected. • Chapter 2 highlights the relative sizes of ecological footprints among ma- terials and indicates that cities monitoring and planning for reductions in material consumption should be aware of both the quantity and ecological impact per unit of individual materials. • Chapter 3 points out that waste as a problem—as something not valuable— needs to give way to a general societal awareness that waste is a valuable resource. • Part II: Case Studies • Chapter 4 presents the key elements for the best performance and profit- ability of municipal solid-waste management in a low-income city. • Chapter 5 analyzes some of the strengths and deficiencies in the current multiple solid waste management system in Minna, a fast-growing city in north central Nigeria, and proposes feasible solutions. • Chapter 6 contains a study conducted on the solid-waste management sys- tem on the island of Santa Cruz in the Galápagos Archipelago, Ecuador. Part III: Strategies • Chapter 7 reviews the salient features of methods of bioremediation, its limitations, and recent developments in solid-waste management through bioremediation.
