Abstract

To achieve sustainable management of PSWs, numerous drivers are key for influencing implementation. The chapter discusses in detail the numerous drivers that influence sustainable management of PSWs from the developed and developing economy perspectives. The drivers include incorporation of IWS into formalized systems, economic incentives, appropriate technology considerations, societal participation and awareness recycling schemes, regulations and legislations, collection and segregation systems, household education, institutional arrangement, training the informal waste sector and local recycled material markets. Applicability of the drivers to the developing economy context is emphasized by understanding the drivers and studying how each driver was achieved from a developed economy perspective. In this regard, feasibility studies are recommended for determining the relevance of each driver in each context.
