Many developing countries and countries in transition still miss basic waste management  infrastructure and awareness. It is here that many of the solid waste management problems and challenges are currently being faced. As such, waste-to-energy (WTE) consists of a proven and continuously developing spectrum and range of technologies in a number of (mostly) developed countries. However, it’s integration in developing countries and systems in transition is often faced with scepticism and a complex set of barriers which are quite unique and differ greatly from those where WTE has been validated and applied over the years. \u003ci\u003eWaste-to-Energy: Opportunities and Challenges for Developing and Transition Economies\u003c\/i\u003e will address this issue both theoretically and using concrete examples, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· contributions from numerous scholars and practitioners in the field,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· useful lessons and rules of thumb,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· both successful and failed cases, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e· real-life examples and developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWaste-to-Energy\u003c\/i\u003e approaches this dynamic  aspect of environmental engineering and management in a methodical and detailed manner making it an important resource for SWM planners and facility operators as well as undergraduate and post graduate students and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-01-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447123057\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-2306-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 372\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148444143756,"sku":"9781447123057","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447123057.jpg?v=1779564763","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447123057","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
