Waste entrepreneurship refers to the practice of creating and operating businesses that aim to address the problem of waste management. It signifies businesses that are dedicated to finding innovative solutions for managing waste and plays a crucial role in building a sustainable future. Waste entrepreneurs identify waste as a valuable resource and use state-of-the-art tactics to reduce, reuse, recycle, and re-purpose it. By developing new technologies, services, and products that help reduce waste and recycle materials, they can create new economic opportunities while simultaneously reducing the environmental impact of waste. The primary audience of this book are researchers (from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds) working in the field of waste management (especially E-waste, Plastics, Paper and Cardboard Waste, Organic Waste, and Construction and Demolition Waste) and environmental sustainability. This book also contains descriptions of various facets of waste entrepreneurship from different countries which will be helpful for different entrepreneurs looking for business opportunities in the waste management sector, NGOs, government agencies, international agencies, and new researchers working in the related fields. In particular, the book could provide start-up ideas to the enthusiastic readers. . 606 $aRefuse and refuse disposal 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aNew business enterprises 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aRefuse and refuse disposal. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aNew business enterprises. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a658.421 702 $aSingh$b Pardeep 702 $aBorthakur$b Anwesha 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910855377903321 996 $aTrash or Treasure$94237933 997 $aUNINA
