During the last century international trade has become
indispensable for many economies. This is not only the case for
trade in primary raw materials and consumer products but also for
secondary (recyclable) materials. With the rapid growth of the
recycling sector worldwide, trade in recyclables increased
tremendously. It is striking that most of this trade flows from
developed to developing countries. This book addresses the main
causes of this typical trade pattern and investigates its economic
and environmental effects by carrying out case studies on waste
paper imports in India, waste plastics imports in China, and
used-tyre trade in Europe. The book concludes by recommending
policies that are aimed at preventing negative economic and
environmental effects potentially resulting from trade in
recyclables. The book offers new ideas to researchers who are
involved in international trade, material flows, and waste
management, and provides new insights for decision-makers who are
interested in WTO and the Basel Convention.
