Advances in Phytoremediation Technology offers in-depth information regarding the strategies and approaches facilitating the integration of technologies for wastewater treatment. The book highlights the role of hydrophytes, hyperaccumulators and native plants for accumulation and detoxification of industrial wastewater. Various chapters presented in the book are focused on the sustainability approaches as the centre theme to facilitate industries & policymakers in adopting circular economy goals. Since the principle idea of circular bioeconomy is to make transition from linear economy, it involves advanced technological and designing breakthroughs to reduce waste with a closed looped system. This pioneers a cradle to cradle and waste to resources approach. Integration of various technologies has been considered as possible best ways to utilize the industry wastewater treatment.
