Circular Plastics Economy: A Multidisciplinary Perspective provides an understanding of the complex issues surrounding plastic waste management, including environmental challenges, risks associated with microplastic contamination, and the detection of micro- and nano-plastics. The book explores conventional and emerging technological solutions for plastic waste management, such as reusing, recycling, pyrolysis, and heterogeneous catalysis while also considering alternative approaches like biochar and microbe-based degradation that foster a holistic perspective on the transition towards a circular plastics economy. With its multidisciplinary approach, this book provides an analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with circular plastics economy, guiding the development of sustainable solutions on a global scale. By addressing these diverse perspectives, this book offers a guide for researchers and professionals interested in tackling the challenges of plastic waste to achieve a sustainable and circular approach to managing plastic waste. Addresses circular economy solutions by providing a state-of-the-art knowledge on key scientific interventions for transitioning towards a circular plastics economy - Provides easy access to state-of-the-art findings and perspectives on circular economy and plastics from multiple scientific disciplines - Highlights environmental issues due to improper plastic waste management - Focuses on various technological interventions (both conventional and emerging) throughout the lifecycle of plastics to help achieve circularity Explores the environmental challenges, technological solutions, and multidisciplinary perspectives related to plastic waste management and the transition towards a circular plastics economy Circular Plastics Economy: A Multidisciplinary Perspective provides an understanding of the complex issues surrounding plastic waste management, including environmental challenges, risks associated with microplastic contamination, and the detection of micro- and nano-plastics.

Pooja Ghosh did her Masters in Environmental Biology from University of Delhi, India followed by her doctorate in Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, India. Her doctoral work involved risk assessment of landfill leachate from unengineered landfill sites and its treatment and detoxification. It contributed significantly in aiding policymakers, environmentalists, scientists, students, and most importantly, citizens, in realizing the problem of unengineered landfill sites of India. Currently, she is working as a DST-Inspire Faculty at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India and carrying out her post-doctoral research on energy recovery from municipal solid wastes using bioreactor landfill technology and assessing the environmental profiles and greenhouse gas emissions in the bioreactor landfill and comparing it with the alternative waste management options used in India using Life Cycle Assessment methodology. Her broad research interests include Solid waste management, Bioremediation, Wastewater treatment, Toxicology, Life cycle assessment and sustainability. She has published in over 20 peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, being cited 385 times with an h index of 11 and an i10 index of 12. She is a reviewer of Bioresource Technology, Science of the total environment, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Chemosphere and Journal of Environmental Management. Dr. Victor Carrasco Navarro conducted MSc studies in Chemistry Sciences at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain between 1994 and 2001. In 2007, he moved to the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu to perform his PhD, which he obtained in 2013. His thesis dealt with the bioaccumulation, biotransformation and trophic transfer of PAHs in freshwater organisms. As a post-doc, he has been working in projects related to the ecotoxicity of neonicotinoids and microplastics and recently has obtained significant funding to research about the fate of plastic additives in the freshwater environment. His research interests are the fate of chemicals and anthropogenic lit
