摘要

The inaugural Global Waste Management Outlook (GWMO) tells the story of two worlds (UNEP and ISWA, 2015; Wilson and Velis, 2015). In the Global North, we take for granted a reliable and high quality solid waste management (SWM) service. To such an extent that it is seldom recognised for what it is, as one of the essential utility services underpinning modern society; and sitting alongside water supply and sewerage, electricity and gas, telephone and broadband Internet, and transport. In the Global South, more than 3 billion people lack this basic utility service -more than 2 billion have no waste collection service (either formal or informal), and even wastes that are collected are simply dumped or burned. Without action, this global waste crisis or emergency will grow - many African cities will double both their population and their waste generation over the next 15-20 years. The local impacts are devastating: on child health and development, on flooding and infectious diseases caused by wastes blocking drains, and on both air pollution from open burning and water pollution from leachate. But mismanaged solid wastes in developing countries has global consequences as well, being the major source of plastics entering the oceans (Velis et al, 2017) and contributing significantly to climate change.
