This book focuses on sustainable solid waste management in an urban context and gives an example of how a modern city can work with waste management for increased sustainability in close cooperation with the academy. The book describes challenges which the city is facing and presents a case on how these can be tackled based on several research and development projects performed in the City of Malmouml; over the last decade. In these projects; the city has worked as a test bed for new solutions; developed with and evaluated by the university. The projects and evaluations of the same have been developed with a multi-dimensional approach; including technical aspects; resource efficiency; economic parameters; information strategies towards households and user friendliness. Methods used for evaluation are presented in a comprehensive way together with a discussion on how results from performed evaluations have affected the solid waste management policy making in the city. The book describes a bridging over a commonly noticed gap between research on the one hand and policy making and technical management on the other. Several examples are given on how academy and real life and full-scale developments in the city can have a fruit-full collaboration; where feed-back from evaluation of made changes are used for continuous improvements ndash; at the same time as the actual needs from the city forces the academy to develop new methods for evaluations and develop new solutions to previously un-known or un-addressed problems.

I heartily recommeBy Animal LoverI am a passionate; weekend-warrior type photographer: every other year I will pick up my camera and go on a big trip to the S.A.R.; Wyoming; or Alaska. I admit my goals can be unrealistic.
