摘要
Resource recovery is a recognized municipal solid waste management strategy for providing cost-effective services in an environmentally sound manner. In both Western Europe and Japan, resource recovery is widely practiced as a matter of policy. In the United States many individual states are now implementing policies to increase resource recovery efforts. The absence in many developing nations of a policy framework for such efforts has resulted in economically driven informal recycling activities that are often in conflict with efficient waste management practices. This paper reviews resource recovery policies and practices in Japan and the United States, examines the economic basis for resource recovery, and discusses an array of policy instruments that can be used to encourage resource recovery. © 1990.
