Waste-to-Resource (WTR) Green Supply Chain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon Dioxide Mineralization and Utilization

Abstract

Green supply chain has been aggressively constructed in different industrial parks around the world. The win–win benefits in both environmental and economic aspects can be achieved by implementing the waste-to-resource supply chain in the industrial park. Portfolio options of technologies for different types of waste-to-resource supply chains can be considered for achieving circular economy system. In this chapter, the strategies on implementation of waste-to-energy supply chain are proposed to overcome the challenging barriers from the aspects of technology, finance, institution, and regulation. A total of six key task forces are proposed for effectively executing the strategies. In addition, several successful lessons on waste-to-resource supply chains, such as green fuel pellet for heating supply and codigestion of organic wastes for biogas production, are provided.
