Abstract/Summary

Waste is a quintessentially ecological economic issue. The generation of waste is rooted in the very laws of nature, but waste is also a social construct, and what we understand to be waste has evolved with human societies. Therefore, a crucial issue in modern waste management is the understanding of attitudes towards waste. This chapter - and the book more broadly - examines the ecological economics approach to waste, its conceptualisation and management.
