Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market of municipal solid waste (MSW) collection and disposal has changed substantially over the past thirty years. This study will help guide both newcomers and past contributors through the fundamental aspects of policies designed to reduce the external costs of MSW collection, and the important empirical relationships that, in the end, govern the selection of MSW policies. The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy explores the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. In a series of twenty-five volumes, the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary environmental and resource policy are collected. Scholars who are recognized for their expertise and contribution to the literature in the various research areas serve as volume editors and write essays that provides the context for the collection. Volumes in the series reflect three broad strands of economic research including 1) Natural and Environmental Resources, 2) Policy Instruments and Institutions and 3) Methodology. The editors, in their introduction to each volume, provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and explain the influence and relevance of the collected papers on the development of policy. This reference series provides access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy.

This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is currently experiencing increased environmental contamination with solid waste, which is one of the greatest environmental threats today. Although solid waste is harmful, proper management and profitable recycling can make it beneficial to the environment. In this regard, estimation of the true quantities of solid wastes generated annually in developed and developing countries is important for evaluating suitable strategies for economic and sustainable procedures of waste management. This book presents an interesting review of the economics of solid waste management in various developing and developed countries. It examines several economic applications of solid waste, such as innovative methods to generate bioelectricity from organic waste using microbial fuel cells and using solid waste as an alternative fuel in cement kilns.

Download or read book Household Waste Management written by Marianna Gilli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys existing literature from both waste management and behavioural sciences to offer a complete overview of how economic agents relate to a central matter in the policy making agenda: that of waste prevention and recycling. Environmental behavioural economics is a growing field of research, yet investigation in this area concentrates mostly on energy savings or pollution reduction. The authors highlight the importance of the role of waste management, analysing the effect of monetary and non-monetary incentives and motivations, and explores the complex interplay between motivations, recycling, minimisation and waste policies to affect consumer behaviour. This book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers in the fields of waste management and environmental economics.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Analysis of Solid Waste Systems for Rural Cities in the Southeast The design and management of solid waste systems in large cities and metropolitan areas have received considerable attention and study. Less attention has been given to the waste management problems of smaller communities (less than l0,000). Solid waste management in smaller communi ties is often more difficult because of small staffs and lower budgets for public services. While most larger cities have full-time staff, small cities generally do not have full-time waste management departments and thus have more difficulty in planning and developing efficient systems. The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 applies to small cities as well as large areas. Many State and local governments have enacted legislation imposing environmental regulations on the collection and disposal of solid waste. State and local officials and planners are faced with the task of developing solid waste management systems that meet environmental require ments in an economical manner.

Download or read book Municipal Solid Waste written by Mohamed Alwaeli and published by Nova Novinka. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the management of solid waste represents a major economic and environmental issue throughout the world. Trends in waste generation show an increase in the volumes of waste produced in most countries and it is clear that the trend will continue. The treatment and disposal of solid waste involves a range of processes including landfill, incineration and composting, all of which may result in emissions to the environment. Municipal investments are said to be highly capital-intensive. As a result, every investment needs to be preceded by the economic analysis which allows for the estimation of the effectiveness of the investment. Investments are made to make profits and to increase savings. This book presents current research in the study of municipal solid waste, with a particular focus on recycling and cost effectiveness.

Download or read book An Economic Analysis of Agricultural Solid Wastes in Urban Kenya written by Timothy Sulo and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of solid waste management efforts in urban cities of many developing countries is an important concern. This book dwells on shadow pricing of disposal and a sensitivity analysis on solid wastes disposed using the theory of the firm and focused in urban Kenya. Relative contributions and linear programming was used to determine the shadow prices. The results indicate the shadow prices of agricultural solid wastes disposal in the commercial and industrial sectors of Kenya was much higher than the actual disposal costs. The results indicate that about 32% of the solid wastes were agricultural solid wastes and that about 11% of it was being recovered for use elsewhere. Sensitivity analysis results indicate that specific policy instruments can be used to stimulate the process of recovery and utilization. This book recommends that an economic policy formulation towards the promotion of recovery and utilization be a priority area. This book is useful to urban authorities, public health authorities, conservationists, agricultural and resource economics students, environmental economics students and professionals in diverse fields of environmental studies.
