Conventional Economy versus Resource Efficient Economy1. One-way Economy 2. More resource efficient economy
3. Closed Loop Economy 1. one way economy -> a little effort is made to reduce the amount of materials consumed in production and hence the wastes are produced. Also little effort is made to reuse or recycle those wastes which mainly go for landfill.
2. greater resource efficiency -> by reducing consumption and waste of materials, and by reusing and recycling by products. By implementing measures on both the production and consumption sides, countries may be able to reduce (per unit of product) both the quantity of the resource extraction stream and the quantity and environmental impact of the residual materials flow that ultimately reaches disposal sites.
3. closed-loop economy -> nearly all outputs either become inputs to other manufacturing processes or are returned to natural systems as benign emissions rather than as pollutants, e.g, a closed-cycle processing plant takes in freshwater and does not discharge any liquid effluents. Rather, the water is constantly recycled and possibly utilized in the final product itself.
Macro-Economic/Development Policies Integrating Resource Efficiency and 3Rs
• Japan: Fundamental Law for Establishing a Sound Material Cycle Society (2001); New Growth Strategy (2010) which places green innovations as top of seven strategic areas; Finance initiatives to build a Low Carbon Society (providing grants, investments, financing, interest subsidies for – (i) promotion of Green Buildings, (ii) development of Low Carbon Cities, (iii) bilateral offset Credit Mechanism, and (iv) enhancement, commercialization, and R&D of Low Carbon Technologies;

Case of Waste management- Canada (1)
MSW is closely followed by organic waste and plastic, in total each Canadian citizen generates more than 1 tonne of solid waste each year.
Source: Adapted from Data from 2004, from Environment Canada, Waste Management, Municipal Solid Waste, www.ec.gc.ca/wmd-dgd/Default-asp?lang=En&n=7623F633-f
Much of the waste generated by Canadians is, in principle, recyclable or compostable.
Diversion rates are increasing in Canada
Recycling or composting increased from 21% to 27% in 2008
Recycling consists of three steps
18-14
Case of Waste management - Canada (2)
• 95% of Canadian households have access to recycling programs
• Recycling rates vary from one product or material type to another and from one location to another
• Increase has been driven by-
=> Economic forces=> Desire to reduce waste
Source: Environment-The Science Behind the stories, Chapter18- Managing our waste, Pearson Canada, 2013.
Economic benefits» Fewer landfill sites are needed, saving the cost of creating new landfills or transporting waste to more distant landfills.» Diversion creates jobs: recycling 14,000 tonnes of waste creates nine jobs and composting it creates seven jobs, but landfilling it creates just one job.» Revenue can be generated from selling compost to the community.
Environmental benefits» Recycling uses less energy than disposal in a landfill and manufacturing with recycled materials is more energy-efficient than with virgin materials.» The greenhouse gases and toxins generated by landfills and incineration are reduced.» More land is available for agricultural and other uses.» Reuse and recycling conserve resources.
Social benefits» Reduced landfill usage improves quality of life in adjacent communities and reduces the need for new landfill sites.» Less reliance on landfills and incinerators reduces pollutants and improves health.» Waste diversion encourages environmentally sustainable behaviour.

International Partnership for Expanding Waste Management Services of Local
Authorities (IPLA) - a Rio+20 Partnership
• Partnerships offer alternatives in which governments and private companies assume co-responsibility and co-ownership for the delivery of solid waste management services. Waste disposal is expensive – financially and in lost resources (substantial inputs of labour, material, energy, land resources for land filling, etc.)
• Partnerships combine the advantages of the private sector (dynamism, access to financial resources and latest technologies, managerial efficiency, and entrepreneurial spirit, etc.) with social concerns and responsibility of the public sector (public health and better life, environmental awareness, local knowledge and job creation, etc.).
• Partnerships (PPP) are indispensable for creating and financing adaptation measures towards resilient cities which in turn are more attractive for private investments.
• Partnerships provide win-win solutions both for the public utilities and private sector—if duly supported by appropriate policy frameworks. Such partnerships could lead to savings in municipal budgets where waste management usually consumes a large portion. The private sector, on the other hand, may use this opportunity to convert waste into environmentally friendly products and energy that could also serve as income generating opportunities.
Partnership is key to expand waste management services of local authorities that lack resources, institutional capacity,
and technological know-how…
Shifting the roles of municipalities from being a ‘service provider’ to ‘facilitator of service’, by focusing its activity on planning and management,
while a private company takes up the actual day-to-day operation.

2014 IPLA Europe Forum, 7-8 May 2014, Munich, Germany, at IFAT 2014
Co-organizer: IPLA and UNCRD
Supporting Organizations: Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety of Germany (MfE); Messe München International; ISWA, GIZ / SWWEP-Net
Theme: Enabling Conditions for Developing Effective Business Models and PPP in Waste Management Sector in Developing Countries
The objective was to discuss and explore various enabling conditions for the private and business sector to effectively engage themselves in developing countries towards sustainable waste management. With inadequate resources and institutional capacity, municipalities in developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, are increasingly in need of both co-financing and technologies to solve their emerging waste problems. IFAT 2014 (http://www.ifat.de/en) provided a unique opportunity for IPLA member cities and partners and participants , to take stock of latest technological innovations in the field of waste management – collection, storage, separation, resource recovery, recycling, waste to energy, and various state of art technologies for transforming of wastes into useful resources towards a resource efficient and zero waste society.
