Abstract

Nature runs a full cycle. As we develop modern economies to support circular and sustainable models, adaptation of environmental resources to fuel incompetencies becomes crucial. The utilization of biosolids extracted by treatment of wastewater is a significant contribution to building smarter waste management strategies and raising the monetary, physical, and ecological well-being of the population at large. Biosolids comprise organic matter and trace elements which raise the agronomic potential of sludges. According to the geographical specifications of catchment and associated biological constituents of the wastewater, an informed decision needs to be taken with regard to risk management and consequent handling of wastewater biosolids. Value addition to biosolids can be made by effective sludge treatment protocols like anaerobic digestion, lime stabilization, and vermiculture modifications. This chapter provides an elaborate perspective into these issues and discusses solutions that hold a capacity to indirectly improve sanitation and directly enhance the feasibility of biosolids production.
