In most countries, the development of environmental programs
follows a similar pattern. Early efforts concentrate on direct
threats to public health, such as contaminated drinking water and
air pollution. Only after these problems are addressed does the
need to improve day-to-day management of hazardous wastes reach the
top of the environmental agenda. In this new report, RFF's
Katherine Probst and Thomas Beierle compare the development of
hazardous waste management programs in eight countries---the United
States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia,
and Thailand---and discuss steps taken to foster proper hazardous
waste management. The authors focus on two questions: What were the
major steps in the evolution of a successful hazardous waste
program? What role, if any, did the public sector play in financing
modern treatment and disposal facilities? Based on interviews and
secondary sources, this report includes country-specific profiles
that detail the steps in the evolution of each country's hazardous
waste management program and describe the role of the public sector
in facility financing.
