The last issue of the 2021 Waste Management Magazine brings to the fore more than ever the importance of rethinking the way we produce, consume products and how we manage the waste generated. The simple fact that over 1 trillion tons of natural resources enter the global economic circuit and at most 8.6% of these resources are recycled or that the world produces over 2 billion tons of solid waste and 1 in 3 people globally do not have access to a waste management service is proof of unsustainable environmental management and the consequences of a linear economic model. What are the solutions, how do we transition to a circular economic model are just some of the topics addressed in the more than 15 articles developed and published in issue 32 of the Magazine.
