1. Current waste management
MSW between 1,6-2 billion tons/year
Population & GDP/cap growth much more waste

• 70% to dumpsites & landfills• 19% recycled or recovered• 11% energy recovery• 40 million people industry – around 50% ISR• 0.46-0.66 billion tons (30%) of uncollected

How many people without waste management ?
What means “access to waste management services”?
Recent estimations : almost 52% of the global population
More than 3,6 billion in 2008 or everyone who lives with GNI less than 1200 -1600 $ / year

Urbanization – sanitation gap
• It is an elementary component of health protection
• It is a key – issue of environmental quality• It is a corner-stone of governance• It affects directly the daily life• It creates important social and economic
impacts
We can’t afford going like this…
WASTE MANAGEMENT AS A HUMAN RIGHT
Sound Waste Management is a human right. It is not a privilege. It must not be depended on personal income, race, gender or national discriminations. It must be easily accessible, affordable and suitable to local conditions. We need…
3. Rethinking urban SWM• Focus on Global Cities• Interface of their countries with global economy &
culture• Parts of the resource management global network• “Arrival” cities• They are Global Risk Areas due to their:
– High population density - pandemics– High integration and interconnection with the rest of the
world– High vulnerability to natural disasters
Systems far from equilibrium
• Drivers of spatial growth: randomness, physical constraints, natural advantage, comparative advantage
• Spatial growth is not predictable • There are physical & managerial limits • Growth can be simulated using epidemics or
diffusion models• Global Cities operate in three rather than two
dimensions• Infrastructure comes always late
We need new descriptions
• INPUT & OUTPUT• Complex systems,
out of equilibrium• Patchworks: the
kingdom of non-uniformity
• SWM as a Human Right is the canvas required to address urban SWM

WE CAN’T AFFORD WAITING FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE – WE NEED CHANGE NOW. WE NEED TO MANAGE THE HUMAN NETWORK OF WASTE PRODUCERS AND GUARANTEE THE RIGHT TO SOUND WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR EVERYONE
We need behavioral change through better interaction, we need to develop local dynamics and neighborhood management, we need new interactive tools and practices and minimum standards
1. Adding to current systems modern technology and interconnectivity’s potential
2. Advancing current systems by stimulating behavioral change through human agents
3. Both ways combined

Experts’ response
Product design
• Bottom – up approach: develop local material supply chains that contribute to recycling and recovery
• Adaptiveness: provide local solutions adapted to city’s patchwork based on market dynamics
• Interconnections: improve systemic behavior allowing information flow within their network
• Feedback: create a unique picture of city’s waste management
Stimulating behavioral change
ISR role is central in such an approach
• ISR are delivering recycling and waste management activities in order to fulfill their elementary human rights
• In that view, ISR are the key-link to introduce Waste Management as a Human Right
• In many cases the only immediately available option is to improve ISR contribution and performance
ISR as the key-link
• The current 3.5 bn people without elementary waste management will be definitely much more in the near future
• The BaU scenario will create huge health and environmental impacts that sooner or later will have global dimensions
• We need massive collaboration to overcome the technology and poverty barriers
• We need new business models to utilize the modern technologies and the increasing interconnectivity
Instead of conclusions
