Stick or Carrot?: the Use of Policy Measures To Move Waste Management Up the Hierarchy

David C. Wilson

Environmental Resources Management, 8 Cavendish Square, London, W1M 0ER, U.K.

A systematic shift in waste management away from disposal and towards waste prevention and recycling requires the use of an integrated set of policy measures to change the behaviour of waste generators; industry, commerce and consumers. This paper uses comprehensive data on policy measures in some 25 countries to examine the available options. The conclusion is that a balanced strategy needs to combine information dissemination mechanisms, legislative "sticks", producer responsibility, other economic "sticks" and economic "carrots". © 1996 ISWA

Key Words: Integrated waste management • strategy • policy • economic instruments • producer responsibility • pollution prevention • waste minimization • reuse • recycling • international comparison.
