Environmental Quality Management

Abstract

The sustainable future of the earth and humanity are going to depend completely on how well we can utilize natural resources such as water, minerals, fossil fuels, and others. Population growth and urbanization demand large amount of natural resources to be made available for various activities at a rapid rate while leaving behind large quantities of waste rich in resources. While there may be established theories in the literature on the recovery of these resources, further research is needed to develop economical practices and solutions that can be implemented. Environmental Quality Management's focus is on theories, applications, and social systems of resource recovery and concentrate management for a sustainable future.
