Download or read book North South Trade in Recyclable Waste written by Nicholas Berger and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Basel Conventions adoption of Decision II/I2 provides for a global ban on the North-South trade in recyclable wastes from the end of 1997. Taking the used lead battery market as a case study, this paper provides an analytical framework for examining the global and regional implications of the ban now in place. It shows that, when considering standard economic welfare the acceptance of Decision II/I2 necessarily reduces global welfare. However, when environmental externalities are taken into account, the global welfare results are less clear. Global welfare is enhanced if and only if the environmental welfare gains in the South more than offset the standard gains from trade loss in the South plus the combined standard and environmental welfare losses in the North. The paper concludes by arguing, firstly, that the ban on North-South trade should be removed and secondly, recycling waste importing countries should be able to determine their individual solutions to national environmental externalities based not on a globally enforced ban, but rather on their national economic challenges, environmental conditions, resource endowments and social preferences.

Download or read book Recycling International Trade and the Environment written by P.J. van Beukering and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Responsibility and Liability in the Context of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes by Sea written by Jan Albers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “hazardous wastes” covers a wide range of disused products and production wastes generated not only in industrial sectors, but also in all areas of everyday life. Hazardous wastes are to a large extent shipped by sea to third countries for recycling or disposal. While the procedural requirements for such movements are laid out in the 1989 Basel Convention, explicit rules of responsibility and liability for resulting damages are neither provided by the Basel Convention nor by other international conventions. The Liability Protocol to the Basel Convention of 1999 has not yet entered into force. This book examines the existing rules of responsibility and liability applying to States and private persons and outlines the conditions under which liability may be incurred. Subsequently, the advantages and shortcomings of the 1999 Liability Protocol are analyzed. Although this Protocol faces substantial political headwind, from a legal perspective it includes principally useful and reasonable approaches and should therefore be ratified.

Download or read book Metal Recycling written by and published by UN. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal recycling is a complex business that is becoming increasingly difficult! Recycling started long ago, when people realized that it was more resource- and cost-efficient than just throwing away the resources and starting all over again. In this report, we discuss how to increase metal-recycling rates - and thus resource efficiency - from both quantity and quality viewpoints. The discussion is based on data about recycling input, and the technological infrastructure and worldwide economic realities of recycling. Decision-makers set increasingly ambitious targets for recycling, but far too much valuable metal today is lost because of the imperfect collection of end-of-life (EoL) products, improper practices, or structural deficiencies within the recycling chain, which hinder achieving our goals of high resource efficiency and resource security, and of better recycling rates.
