Conference
Background
Growing urban population and industrialization in Asia-Pacific
region posing serious environmental issues including solid waste disposal,
demand for N-P fertilizers, soil erosions due to poor carbon return, greenhouse
gas emissions and high- dependence for fosil-fuels/energy. All are interlinked
factors and require collective efforts from scientists, engineers, policy
makers and non-profit organizations to develop region-specific management plans
to achieve sustainable growth. Developing best waste recycling practices by
integrated biotechnology will be a ‘key’ to tackle the multi- dimensional
issues. But, the current situation in Asia-Pacific region is not very
appealing, while the technologies are not well integrated to meet the
requirements and to reach the goal of sustainability. Although the waste is
considered as a resource, it is not much exploited for potential bio-products
developments or bio-energy recovery in Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, a
multidimensional approach and efficient knowledge transfers are required to
deal with the alarming situation. In recent years, the bio-refinery concepts in
the field of waste management to produce bio-fuels, -polymers, -diesel,
-nanomaterials and -fertilizers are in lime light from both developed and
developing countries.
