Ever-increasing amounts of solid waste accompany rapid economic and population growth in developing countries, challenging municipalities’ ability to sustainably manage it all. Solutions to this problem may be found in the private sector, by developing integrated waste-management systems, and by improving recycling practices.
EVERY YEAR DEVELOPING NATIONS SPEND SOME US2446 BILLION ON MANAGING THEIR MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
Global production of municipal solid waste is expected to double in the next fifteen years
AND
poor performances. In these circumstances sustainable waste management appears difficult to envisage.

In moral reasoning prediction of consequences is nearly always impossible. One balances the risks

real enough to make nuclear war utterly impermissible under any sane moral code.
I advocate that developing countries, as defined in the IMF’s World Economic Outlook report for 2012, reduce investment in resource extraction and instead invest in the creation of recycling programs. I reserve the right to clarify.

In developing countries, the recycling sector is very different in many respects compared with

waste separa- tion at the source, which ultimately reduces recycling cost.

Environmental protection refers to any activity to maintain or restore the quality of environmental media through preventing the emission of pollutants or reducing the presence of polluting substances in environmental media. It may consist of:
(a) changes in characteristics of goods and services,
(b) changes in consumption patterns,
(c) changes in production techniques,
(d) treatment or disposal of residuals in separate environmental protection facilities,
(e) recycling, and
(f) prevention of degradation of the landscape and ecosystems.
