    E-Waste Management System: An Approach and Assessment
    (MJS Publication, 2025) Uzma, Aqeel Ahmad Khan
    Electronic waste (e-waste) has emerged as one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide, primarily driven by rapid technological advancements, shortened product lifecycles, and consumer demand for modern electronics. This study aims to explore the current approaches and assess the effectiveness of e-waste management systems, with a focus on sustainable handling, disposal, and recycling practices. The research delves into the classification of e-waste, its environmental and health impacts, and the legal frameworks governing its management in both global and Indian contexts. Emphasis is placed on the roles of stakeholders, including producers, consumers, recyclers, and regulatory authorities, in the e-waste value chain. Through analysis of existing collection mechanisms, extended producer responsibility (EPR), and informal sector dynamics, the study identifies gaps in implementation and suggests strategic interventions to improve efficiency. The paper also highlights successful models from developed countries that can be adapted in developing nations to mitigate the growing crisis. Ultimately, this assessment seeks to promote an integrated, circular economy-based e-waste management approach that prioritizes environmental safety, resource recovery, and public health.

    Bioinspired Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration and Environmental Impact
    (Springer, Cham, 2025) Anas Islam, Ambareen Fatima Ahmed, Widhilika Singh, Md. Faiyazuddin, Usama Ahmad , Faiyaz Shakeel
    Bioinspired scaffolds are revolutionizing the field of tissue regeneration by mimicking the complex structures and functionalities of natural tissues. The concepts of bioinspiration are examined in this chapter, along with how natural patterns might be adapted into artificial scaffolds to improve tissue regeneration and repair. Along with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques including electrospinning, 3D printing, and self-assembly approaches, it covers a variety of bioinspired scaffold types, such as polymer-based, ceramic-based, composite, and nanostructured scaffolds. Additionally, the chapter emphasizes how crucial scaffold functionalization is for enhancing bioactivity, cell adhesion, and proliferation. It also discusses how the manufacture of scaffolds affects the environment, highlighting the need of sustainable processes and eco-friendly materials. Examples from the fields of bone, cartilage, skin, and brain tissue engineering show how bioinspired scaffolds may be used practically and effectively. The difficulties, prospects, and possibilities of bioinspired scaffolds in promoting tissue engineering while reducing environmental effect are covered in the chapter’s conclusion.

    Good Agricultural Practices for Insect Pest Management
    (EdTech Publications, Vikas Nagar, Lucknow, U.P., India, 2025) Salman Ahmad
    Efficient and precise application of phytosanitary products is vital for sustainable insect pest management in large-scale agriculture. This chapter explores the critical components of spray application technology, focusing on the selection and maintenance of spray nozzles, droplet size dynamics, and strategies to minimize spray drift. Emphasizing best practices and technological innovations, it underscores the importance of equipment calibration, environmental considerations, and water quality in enhancing pesticide efficacy while mitigating environmental impact. The integration of these elements ensures optimal pest control, reduces the risk of resistance development, and promotes environmental stewardship in agricultural practices.
