Abstract

The global waste trade refers to the movement of waste materials across international borders for disposal or recycling. This trade has grown rapidly in recent years as countries seek to capitalize on the economic benefits of exporting waste while also addressing the challenges of managing increasing volumes of waste at home. This chapter will provide an overview of the global waste trade over the past decade, including key trends and developments, major players and destinations, and this rapidly growing industry's environmental and economic impacts. The chapter will also explore the challenges and opportunities presented by the global waste trade and offer insights into the future of this complex and dynamic field.
