Download or read book The Post consumer Waste Problem and Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations written by Andrea Nemer Soto and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, consumers throw away products every day, turning those materials into waste. Electronic waste poses special problems when it is not recycled because it may contain toxic components that can leach into landfill surroundings and reach groundwater sources or contaminate soil, and its plastic, metal, and electronic materials do not biodegrade and are lost rather than recycled. This study analyzes a system that attempts to solve the electronic post-consumer-waste problem by shifting the economic burden of disposal from local municipalities to producers, reducing its environmental impacts while promoting economic development. The system was created in British Columbia, Canada after the province enacted a recycling regulation based on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a policy strategy that is fast growing globally. The BC recycling regulation requires all e-toy corporations in BC to comply with a government-approved product-stewardship program to recover and dispose of e-toys after they have been discarded by consumers. In response to the regulation, e-toy corporations joined a Canadian non-profit entity that recycles regulated waste. I conducted a case study using in-depth interviews with the stakeholders to identify the outcomes of this program and its potential for replication in other industries. I derived lessons from which corporations can learn to implement stewardship programs based on EPR regulations. The e-toy program demonstrated that creating exclusive programs is neither efficient nor economically feasible. Corporations should expect low recycling rates in the first phases of the program implementation because EPR regulations are long-term strategies. In order to reach any conclusions about the demand of consumers for recycling programs, we need to measure the program's return rates during at least three years. I also derived lessons that apply to the expansion of EPR regulations to a broader scope of product categories. The optimal way to expand EPR policy is to do it by gradually adding new product categories to the regulation on a long-term schedule. By doing so, new categories can take advantage of existing stewardship programs and their infrastructure to recover and recycle the post-consumer products. EPR proved to be an effective option to make corporations start thinking about the end of life of their products.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews contemporary literature addressing the economic implications of environmental enhancement, including both regulatory and management interventions. After a basic description of the relevant literature, the report discusses macro-economic impacts, including impacts on inflation, private consumption, employment, and business profitability; the costs of complying with environmental regulations; the relation between environmental enhancement and economic restructuring, with reference to British Columbia as an advanced resource-based economy in transition; impacts on new and emerging industries such as the environmental industry, recycling, and alternative energy sources; human capital effects such as workplace health and productivity; the relation between environmental protection and market acceptance; impacts on economic sustainability; and impacts on other human demand values. Finally, the report considers the implications of environmental enhancement for British Columbia's economic development and for public policy.

In this authoritative book, Ioanna Hadjiyianni and Kleoniki Pouikli incisively map out the regulatory landscape of ship recycling, exploring the main international and European regulatory approaches that govern its environmental impacts. In light of the transnational demands of environmental justice, they critically assess the interaction between multiple regimes from the perspective of key environmental principles and the EU’s attempts to steer regulatory developments in this field.

Download or read book The Economic Impacts of U S Recycled Fibre Content Legislation on the Canadian Newsprint Industry written by Romain Jacques and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in 1989, various US states began to impose recycled-content requirements on newsprint used in newspapers in order to address a perceived landfill crisis. Since Canada exports a large proportion of its newsprint production to the United States, this has meant a significant shift in its major market for newsprint. In this report, the North American Pulp and Paper Model is used to analyze the regional impacts of mandatory newsprint recycled-content regulations on North American pulp and paper producers. The model is used to project industry and market developments given the actual capacity expansion decisions (new de-inking facilities) that have been taken. The long-term impact of the industry response is projected, and the model is also employed to compare the actual adoption rates of de-inking technology with those under a hypothetical situation where there is no legislation and the industry responds to market forces only.

Download or read book The Economics of Waste written by Richard C. Porter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this concise, engaging, and provocative work, Richard Porter introduces readers to the economic tools that can be applied to problems involved in handling a diverse range of waste products from business and households. Emphasizing the impossibility of achieving a zero-risk environment, Porter focuses on the choices that apply in real world decisions about waste. Acknowledging that effective waste policy integrates knowledge from several disciplines, Porter focuses on the use of economic analysis to reveal the costs of different policies and therefore how much can be done to meet goals to protect human health and the environment. With abundant examples, he considers subjects such as landfills, incineration, and illegal disposal. He discusses the international trade in waste, the costs and benefits of recycling, and special topics such as hazardous materials, Superfund, and nuclear waste. While making clear his belief that not every form of waste presents the same amount of risk, Porter stresses the need for open-minded approaches to developing new policies. For students, policymakers, and general readers, he provides insight and accessibility to a subject that others might leave out-of-sight, out-of-mind, or buried under an impenetrable prose of statistics and jargon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialist John Paul Getty famously quipped, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” Throughout history, natural resources have been sources of wealth and power and catalysts for war and peace. The case studies gathered in this innovative volume examine how the intersection of ideas, interest groups, international institutions, and political systems gave birth to distinctive regulatory regimes at various times and places in the modern world. Spanning seven continents and focusing on both advanced and developing economies, it offers unique insights into why some resource-rich countries have flourished while others have been mired in poverty and corruption.
