This book was released on 2005 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kenyan government is trying to reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with the production and disposal of solid waste. This study identifies and reviews existing policies, and presents economic incentives to reduce littering and emissions generated from the production, collection, transportation and disposal of polythene bags. The publication sets out: (i) to promote the production and consumption of cleaner packaging alternatives in Kenya; (ii) to formulate a policy proposal in collection, transport, disposal and reuse of polythene bags; (iii) to raise awareness of the problems relating to polythene bags; (iv) to support the development of environmentally friendly bags, as well as to assist other policymakers wishing to implement sustainable policy packages in the waste sector.

Download or read book The Economics of Residential Solid Waste Management written by Thomas C. Kinnaman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 444 pages. 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 2014-12-30 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household solid waste management is a major environmental and financial problem in developing countries. Developing countries experience high rural-urban migration due to high population, poverty and centralization of employment opportunities in cities. This has led to overcrowding and shortage of housing leading to establishment of informal settlements. Informal settlements have in turn become a major concern and the majority of municipalities now find it hard to deal with the growing volume of household solid waste produced in these settlements. This book outlines a research in one of the informal settlements in Kenya known as Kibera slum. Households in the slum have come up with solid waste management options which include disposal, reuse and recycle options, but disposal poses a major challenge. However, an overall assessment of the factors that influence disposal, reuse and recycle options towards good solid waste management is key.Discrete choice model, multinomial logit model is used to assess these options.Readers will surely be excited to realize socioeconomic factors don't determine choice of waste management options among poor households, rather institutional facto

This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was widely reported that the United States faced a solid waste crisis. Existing landfills were reaching capacity or being shut down because of more stringent regulations while waste volumes were continuing to rise. At the time, several market-oriented policy analysts advocated the adoption of variable rate charges for mixed refuse in conjunction with curbside pick-up of recyclables (without charge) as a means of reducing waste volumes and diverting recyclable material to more valuable uses. During the course of the past decade, such policies have been adopted widely throughout the United States - approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population now face variable rate charges for mixed refuse collection. Even more have curbside collection of recyclable materials. This article collects and reviews empirical studies evaluating the effects of variable rate pricing. It finds that these policies have been quite effective as a means of boosting diversion rates beyond the levels that can be achieved through curbside collection of recyclables alone. The overall cost-benefit analysis of such programs is modestly favorable. Since many states and communities have committed to achieving specified waste diversion targets, variable rate policies have been a cost effective policy tool. The experience with variable rate policies represents a promising example of non-coercive, information-oriented government intervention. With a relatively small budget and no authority to impose household solid waste policy on local governments, EPA has been remarkably successful at developing and diffusing effective solid waste management policies. The economic theory underlying variable rate pricing has proven, after some tinkering at the implementation stage, to be quite workable in practice. In fact, the practical realities of implementing charges have shown that theoretical perfection in terms of getting the prices right is less important in the grand scheme than keeping the transaction costs manageable. Looking forward, variable rate pricing can be expected to become even more economically advantageous as recycling markets continue to mature, landfill tipping fees rise, and improved technologies for curbside collection, monitoring, billing, and measuring waste develop.

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.

This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving a high quality of waste plastic materials and recycling processes is a key challenge in closing the resource loops for plastics. This report reviews the status and trends for plastic waste flows and treatment in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, it gives an overview of existing policy instruments and the main challenges for designing policy instruments for improved recycling of plastic waste in these Nordic countries. The report identifies potential market failures associated with closing the resource loops for plastics. It reviews the economics research literature on policy instrument design for achieving optimal recycling rates and makes policy recommendations from the Nordic perspective. Finally, it presents results from a survey on market conditions to managers in the recycling and plastic manufacturing industry in Sweden.
