Preferred term

international economics of waste collection and disposal  

Definition(s)

  • Economics and waste have a complicated relationship; as national economies grow, the waste stream from that country also grows. That seems simple, but if two concepts—sustainability and globalization—are added to the picture, the complexity becomes more apparent. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumption and Waste: The Social Science of Garbage; Economics of Waste Collection and Disposal, International]
