'This book presents an overview of many relatively recent developments in the research around waste management and planning, including waste prevention and recycling. As such it presents a good introduction to students or new researchers in the field, and helps to determine directions for their research. It is also a suitable reference book for people in the field . . . the book contains a nice overview of important directions in waste management from a wide geographic and disciplinary background. It will benefit students in the field and may be helpful to select reading material for students. It may also provide policymakers with information on scientific research from a diverse background in an easy to access format.'
