Environmental Hazards of Plastic Wastes

Environmental Hazards of Plastic Wastes: Bioremediation Approaches for Environmental Clean-up focuses on the exploitation of various biological treatment technologies, their use to treat plastic contaminants, and restoration of contaminated sites. The book also addresses the biological treatment of plastic waste and its management of sustainable technologies for its reuse for environmental protection. The book examines advanced technologies, updated information, and future directions for researchers and scientists working in the bioremediation and biodegradation of plastic contaminants and reutilization of plastic wastes in the production of construction materials for environmental safety.

The treatment of plastic wastes with environmentally benign approaches will be assessed in this book and will also provide ways to protect our natural environment by managing hazardous plastic pollutants through various techno-based, eco-friendly strategies.

• Describes how bioremediation approaches can be successfully applied for waste management, eco-restoration, and environmental protection
• Provides information on the state-of-art application of microbes, whether individual or synergistic, for treating plastic waste and environmental protection
• Offers a substantial contribution to solving the problem of plastic waste which contains many hazardous organic compounds
