E-waste
Implications, regulations, and management in India and
current global best practices
Editor: Rakesh Johri
The disposal of e-waste is a major problem because of the presence of toxic elements
such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. The backyard recycling operations are
generally rudimentary in nature, causing extensive damage to both the environment
and human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to adopt an environment
friendly and simple technology for recycling these wastes. The book addresses
these issues and also covers international best practices and regulations on e-waste.

This places an enormous strain on natural resources and seriously undermines
efficient and sustainable development. Management of Municipal Solid Waste
discusses the ways to salvage the situation through efficient management of solid
wastes—from waste generation to disposal. The various processes, such as waste generation, collection,
storage, processing, recovery, transport, and disposal, are explained with the help of case studies. The book
discusses reduction of waste at the source and endeavours to foster implementation of integrated solid
waste management systems that are cost-effective and protect human health and the environment.

Vernacular Traditions
Contemporary architecture
Author: Aishwarya Tipnis
The book is an attempt to bridge the gap between the past and the future – the
vernacular and the contemporary. It questions the relevance of the vernacular
in contemporary times and illustrates the inherent sustainability in vernacular
built form. Emphasizing on the fact that apart from the preservation of vernacular
architecture it is more important to carry forward the valuable lessons of the past
into the future, the book presents myriad examples of contemporary architectural
works and showcases how vernacular traditions can be reinterpreted to form contemporary buildings. It
encourages young designers to look within India for models of sustainable design rather than importing
international designs which may or may not be relevant to the Indian context.
Table of contents
• Understanding the vernacular • The Indian vernacular architecture • The contemporary vernacular
architecture • Case studies on sustainable architecture • Glossary • Bibliography
Table of contents
• Indian Energy sector: an overview • Organization of the energy sector • Commercial energy balance tables
and conversion factors • Energy supply: Coal and ignite, petroleum and natural gas, power, and renewable

goals around energy and environment
