Mexico, similarly to other developing countries, has planned landfilling as the central technology to manage municipal solid waste (MSW). In this research, the current and future situation of final disposal of MSW in Mexico was studied, focusing on the spatial and temporal evaluation of final...

Food systems are under increasing pressure. They must meet the food requirements of a growing world population, and socio-economic changes also influence the type of foods which are under demand. At the same time, food systems are a major contributor to global environmental change, and...

In this survey paper, we bring together the insights from six country case studies on decommissioning commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs). Nuclear decommissioning has often been overlooked in past literature but will gain relevance in future research as more and more NPPs reach the ends of...

Over the past decades, research on the established linkages between solid waste management and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) has not progressed sufficiently. This influences the relevant statutory bodies to design an effective solid waste management system to create a safe work...

A long-lasting dilemma on the efficient provision of services of general economic interest has become increasingly important in the waste management industry: competition or monopoly in municipal solid waste management. Previous literature has primarily examined the economics of scale and scope...

We consider households decision of whether to recycle within a theoretical framework that allows for the inclusion of social and moral motivations and analyze how unit pricing and mandatory recycling a⁄ect the equilibrium in terms of whether and, in the presence of heterogenous households, the...
