摘要

This chapter explores innovative green technologies revolutionizing waste management, essential in addressing escalating environmental challenges. It emphasizes the shift from traditional linear models to circular economy principles, focusing on waste reduction at the source. Key technologies discussed include advanced recycling methods, bioconversion processes, waste-to-energy systems, and digital tools for efficient waste tracking and management. Advanced recycling techniques, such as chemical recycling and automated sorting, are highlighted for their ability to reclaim valuable materials and reduce landfill dependency. Bioconversion processes, including anaerobic digestion and composting, are presented as sustainable options for organic waste treatment, offering waste reduction and renewable energy production. Waste-to-energy technologies, such as incineration with energy recovery and thermal conversion methods, are evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing waste volumes while generating clean energy. The chapter also examines the integration of digital technologies, like IoT and AI, which enhance efficiency in waste collection, sorting, and monitoring. It underscores the importance of supportive policy frameworks and economic incentives in promoting the adoption of these green technologies. By providing a comprehensive overview, this chapter aims to inform and inspire stakeholders to adopt more sustainable waste management practices, driving the transition toward a cleaner, greener future.
