Cleaning Up
U.S. Waste Management Technology and Third World Development

John Elkington and Jonathan Shopley

The management of domestic, commercial, and industrial wastes is already taxing the resources of many developing world countries. The predicted doubling of world population, coupled with the five to tenfold increase in manufacturing output that the World Commission on Environment and Development concluded would be necessary to afford that increased population living standards equivalent to those currently found in industrialized nations, will create enormous strain. The authors examine some of the waste-treatment and minimizatioon technologies now emerging in the US and consider their potential for addressing developing country needs.
