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.
