What are the case studies presented in the book, and what lessons can be learned from their application of waste management strategies?

The book presents several case studies on waste management strategies. One notable case is the large-scale rotary drum composting in urban areas, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing organic waste. Another study focuses on the integration of technologies for value-added products from industrial waste, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City. A critical issue addressed is biomedical waste management during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of proper disposal and handling to prevent disease transmission.

From these case studies, several lessons can be learned:

  1. Decentralized waste management can be more effective and cost-efficient than centralized systems, especially for organic waste.
  2. Integration of technologies can lead to the creation of value-added products from waste, promoting a circular economy.
  3. Proper biomedical waste management is crucial for public health and environmental safety, especially during pandemics.
  4. Adaptation of strategies to local conditions and resources is essential for successful waste management.
