Rapid urbanization and industrial development around the world have put pressure on the society in handling the tremendous increase in volume of wastes of diverse nature, and force us to plan for the next 10-20 years in an immediate manner. Besides, under the threat of global warming, every waste treatment option and technology should be characterized with their contribution to avoid the environmental deterioration. Rapidly depleting mineral and energy sources around the world forced us to consider the wastes as resources and not as wastes anymore.
