Once humans started to interfere with the course of nature, mainly through farming and livestock activities, we started to provoke environmental imbalances that over time, only aggravated. As we advanced in techniques and technologies, the disposal of resources and products for which we could not find utility largely increased, resulting in an enormous volume of waste that degrades and pollutes the environment. Against this background, this book discusses solid waste management in order to search ways to control the environmental impacts that have been caused so far and prevent worse damage from happening.
