Generating waste is a human condition. There is, however, very
little real knowledge about this important issue, as the
mishandling of wastes threatens lives and the environment.
Therefore, I strongly recommend Professor Gillespie's book, as it
is an in-depth, extremely competent holistic overview of waste
which covers both its management, and its economic impact. The
language is accessible to all interested in these issues, and the
book gives a unique insight into waste policy, with great attention
to detail that showcases Gillespie's vast knowledge in all
environmental matters.' - Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Queen Mary
University of London, UK'Nature knows no waste, only humans do. The
modern industrial world seems to have forgotten that natural and
human systems are inextricably linked. Waste has been externalized
causing huge environmental, economic and social costs. This book
aims for reversing the trend. Taking a comparative and contextual
perspective, Gillespie shows how smart policies can lead to
minimizing waste and to creating material flows consistent with
ecological flows. An important book, rich in detail, very
accessible and with a powerful message.' - Klaus Bosselmann,
University of Auckland, New Zealand From human waste to nuclear
waste, the question of how we must manage what we no longer want,
in terms of either recycling or disposal, is one of the most
pressing issues in environmental law. Alexander Gillespie addresses
the gaps in previous literature by incorporating economics,
philosophy and the ideal of sustainable development in order to
provide context to the surrounding legal and policy considerations
for the management of waste. The book's premise is that all forms
of waste are expanding exponentially, and are often of a hazardous
nature. The author examines the size of the problem, considers how
it is evolving, and assesses the legal and political implications.
He then shows that existing solutions to reducing consumption and
recycling are limited, and concludes by discussing potential ways
forward. Students and scholars with an interest in environmental
law at the national, regional and international level will find
this book to be of use. The book will also be of interest to
practitioners looking to solve the issues surrounding waste and
recycling.
