The International Solid Waste Association, is a global, independent and non-profit making association, working in the public interest to promote and develop sustainable waste management. ISWA’s objective is the worldwide exchange of information and experience on waste management. ISWA’s vision is an Earth where no waste exists.
Waste is about people. Our lives, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we grow and eat, the resources we cut down or out of the ground, the cleanliness of our environs and especially
the cities we live in, are all impacted by poor waste management. No clearer example of a badly run city or town is shown by how poor is its waste managementsystem.
This report sets out how we can move from dramatically polluting sites to better, cleaner practices.
Much of the report focuses on governance because good governance is key to getting the rest right.
