Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
One hundred fifteen papers from the October 2013 conference explore the management and disposal of hazardous and industrial waste, the development of a circular economy and urban mining, and the treatment and disposal of electronic and municipal waste. Two papers from Tongji University analyze the chemical composition of kitchen waste from Shanghai restaurants. Other topics include toxic metal levels in discarded laptop printed circuit boards, mechanical aeration of soil contaminated by chlorinated hydrocarbons, the effect of sewer sludge on heavy metals in wheat, and the social challenge of involving the public in garbage separation and recycling.
