As global waste generation increases at a rapid rate, there is a
dire need for waste management practices such as collection,
disposal, and recycling to protect from environmental pollution.
However, developing countries generate two to three times more
waste, resort to open dumps more often than developed countries,
and are slower to integrate waste management standards. There is a
need for studies that examine the waste generation and practices of
countries that share similar economic backgrounds as they strive to
implement successful waste management techniques. Sustainable Waste
Management Challenges in Developing Countries is an essential
reference source that discusses the challenges and strategies of
waste management practices and the unique waste issues faced by
developing countries that prevent them from achieving the goal of
integrated waste management. While highlighting topics including
e-waste, transboundary movement, and consumption patterns, this
book is ideally designed for policymakers, legislators, waste
company managers, environmentalists, students, academicians, and
municipal planners seeking current research on the global waste
management problem.
