Reclamation and Remediation of Solid Waste through Bio-chemical Process

  • Chapter
Bioremediation Technology

Abstract

The amount of hazardous waste generated by manufacturing industries increased tremendously due to industrialization worldwide. This waste is generated at every stage in the production process, use and disposal of manufactured products. Thus, the introduction of many new products for the home and office—computers, drugs, textiles, paints and dyes, plastics—also introduced hazardous waste, including toxic chemicals, into the environment. These, too, must be managed with extreme care to avoid adverse environmental or human health impacts.
