This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for investment in the Solid Waste (SW) sector in Low- and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) far outstrips their financial resources. One of the solutions recommended is the involvement of the private sector. This book aims to demonstrate the limitations of privatisation models to the concept of Integrated Sustainable SW Management (ISSWM) This investigation discovered that the main contradictions include the nature of solid waste (limitation of Standard Market Model to cope with public goods), the limitation of so- called "Pareto Efficiency," the presence of externalities, free-rider issues, low-income areas, and a decided lack of accurate information and the prevalence of asymmetric information (or "symmetric lack of information. The success of PSP does not necessarily depend on competition, but rather on good inter-organisational relationships. This book highlights the crucial importance of good inter- organisational relationships. Government agencies or private agencies should enhance the monitoring of outsourced SW services, and new systems to strengthen the managerial capacity of municipal managers should be introduced.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries by : Pariatamby, Agamuthu
Download or read book Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries written by Pariatamby, Agamuthu and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As global waste generation increases at a rapid rate, there is a dire need for waste management practices such as collection, disposal, and recycling to protect from environmental pollution. However, developing countries generate two to three times more waste, resort to open dumps more often than developed countries, and are slower to integrate waste management standards. There is a need for studies that examine the waste generation and practices of countries that share similar economic backgrounds as they strive to implement successful waste management techniques. Sustainable Waste Management Challenges in Developing Countries is an essential reference source that discusses the challenges and strategies of waste management practices and the unique waste issues faced by developing countries that prevent them from achieving the goal of integrated waste management. While highlighting topics including e-waste, transboundary movement, and consumption patterns, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, legislators, waste company managers, environmentalists, students, academicians, and municipal planners seeking current research on the global waste management problem.
Book Synopsis Private Sector Involvement in Urban Solid Waste Collection by : Sampson Oduro-Kwarteng
Download or read book Private Sector Involvement in Urban Solid Waste Collection written by Sampson Oduro-Kwarteng and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private sector involvement in public service is intended to achieve efficiency gain and better service quality through increasing private sector finance and expertise. However, these benefits are most often not achieved in developing countries due to investment risk of private finance, and problems of capacity and regulation of the private sector. This book examines private sector involvement (PSI) in solid waste collection by exploring the influence of private sector capacity and Local Governments’ regulations on private sector performance in terms of productivity and service quality. PSI in public service provision evolved to deal with market and government failures, so this study uses market and regulatory theories to explore the gaps in policy and practice of PSI and the factor explaining private sector performance in five cities in Ghana. The study shows there were weak regulatory practices and non-adherence to contractual obligations (unsigned contracts and delayed payment of subsidy), and consequently led to disincentives for full cost recovery and better service quality. However, there is now a gradual well functioning system being put in place with the recent competitive bidding in two cities with signing of contracts and city-wide user charging. This study concludes that the solutions to the problem of solid waste collection and management in developing countries hinge on adherence to formal rules of regulation, use of appropriate cost recovery mechanism for low income group, and restructuring of institutional arrangement to enforce legislation.
Book Synopsis Integrated Approaches Towards Solid Waste Management by : Ajay S. Kalamdhad
Download or read book Integrated Approaches Towards Solid Waste Management written by Ajay S. Kalamdhad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the developing countries, pollution through solid waste, sludge from water and wastewater treatment plants and pollution of natural water resources have become one of the grave issues. The root cause is population explosion, industrialization, urbanization and other anthropogenic activities. The increase rate of solid waste has become a major challenge for sustainable development of the environment. Poor management of solid waste and sludge from water and wastewater treatment plants may be the cause of health hazards and environmental problems. The book presents new methods and technologies to combat the aforementioned problems and focuses on the importance of using the recycled products. The technologies related to waste and sludge treatment are economical, eco-friendly and bring economic returns, and can be applied to most of the developing countries where waste treatment technologies, viz. composting, anaerobic digestion, recycling of plastic and agricultural waste in construction can be used. The aim of the book is to support everyone who is involved in academics, teaching, research related to solid waste management and water and wastewater treatment study in the leading academic and research organizations globally. This book will be of prodigious value to upcoming researchers, scholars, scientists and professionals in Environmental Science and Engineering fields, and global and local authorities and policy makers responsible for the management of solid wastes and sludge. Globally, universities can develop new prospectuses on sustainable and eco-friendly waste and sludge management, which are relating to the book’s theme. This book can also be of great source for designing and operation of waste reuse and recycling programmes.

This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most discernible outcome of the increasing pace of urbanisation, along with the rise in the spate of consumerism in the post-liberalised economic environment has been the dramatic rise in municipal solid waste generation across the urban centres world over and more so in the developing countries. So enormous has been the challenge of managing the same along with the issue of providing efficient service of garbage collection at household and city level that the municipalities since the mid nineties started turning to the private sector. The move was largely fuelled by the international institutions such as the World Bank and other organisations which demonstrated the higher capabilities of the private sector in providing services and managing waste much more efficiently then the Local Governments. Resultantly many developing countries including India turned to privatization as a panacea for their solid waste management woes. However while private sector participation in municipal solid waste management services across Indian cities have being adopted, there is an acute lack of empirical evidence and research assessing its implications from a sustainability perspective.Set against a milieu of solemn concerns emanating from inadequate municipal solid waste management on one side and the impetus given to private sector participation, this research critically examines and generates empirical evidence on the performance and implications of private sector participation in municipal solid waste management through the lens of a sustainability assessment prism specifically constructed for this purpose. In order to get to the depth of performance analysis, the research employs a single case study research design using the city of Amritsar as the case for application of the sustainability assessment framework. With robust evidence emerging from the four-cornered sustainability prism i.e. social, economic, environmental and institutional, the study offers valuable insights for retrospection and course correction in Indian cities and other similar contexts. More over one of the main contributions emerging from the research is the development of a sustainability assessment framework for evaluating privatized operations in waste management context. Thus the same can be used by Researchers and Governments across developing countries in particular to evaluate and assess privatized municipal solid waste management and apply the yardsticks of measurement across the social, economic, environmental and institutional dimensions of sustainability underlying such operations. The same would be immensely useful in informing Governmental policies in decision making related to improvising the operations, replicating the privatization models or replacing them with better options as the case may be.

This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management issues, technologies and challenges are dynamic. More so, in developing and transitory nations in Asia. This book, written by Asian experts in solid waste management, explores the current situation in Asian countries including Pacific Islands. There are not many technical books of this kind, especially dedicated to this region of the world. The chapters form a comprehensive, coherent investigation in municipal solid waste (MSW) management, including, definitions used, generation, sustainable waste management system, legal framework and impacts on global warming. Several case studies from Asian nations are included to exemplify the real situation experienced. Discussions on MSW policy in these countries and their impacts on waste management and minimization (if any) are indeed an eye-opener. Undoubtedly, this book would be a pioneer in revealing the latest situation in the Asian region, which includes two of the world’s most dynamic nations in the economic growth. It is greatly envisaged to form an excellent source of reference in MSW management in Asia and Pacific Islands. This book will bridge the wide gap in available information between the developed and transitory/developing nations.
Book Synopsis Improving Municipal Solid Waste Management in India by : P U Asnani
Download or read book Improving Municipal Solid Waste Management in India written by P U Asnani and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a matter of great concern in the urban areas of developing countries. The municipal authorities who are responsible for managing municipal solid waste are unable to discharge their obligations effectively because they lack the in-house capacity to handle the complexities of the process. It is heartening to see that the World Bank has prepared this book covering all important aspects of municipal SWM in great depth. The book covers very lucidly the present scenario of SWM in urban areas, the system deficiencies that exist, and the steps that need to be taken to correct SWM practices in compliance with Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 ratified by the Government of India. The book shares examples of best practices adopted in various parts of the country and abroad, and very appropriately covers the institutional, financial, social, and legal aspects of solid waste management, which are essential for sustainability of the system. It provides a good insight on how to involve the community, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to help improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service, and shows how contracting mechanisms can be used to involve the private sector in SWM services. This book will be a very useful tool for city managers and various stakeholders who deal with municipal solid waste management in the design and execution of appropriate and cost-effective systems.
