Abstract

In recent years, the increased focus on energy resources and environment has changed perceptions about waste. The growth in economic activities, standard of living, and population has led to a sharp increase in the quantity of generated waste. Waste poses a highly complex and heterogeneous environmental problem since all human activities, inevitably, result in generation of waste due to imperfect utilization of energy and resources.
