description |
One of the characteristics of a highincome
economy appears to be the correspondingly high amount of waste
that it generates compared with a lowincome
economy. In fact, as countries graduate from a lower to a higher
level economy, the amount of waste they generate goes up accordingly. Reports show that many Asian
economies are facing a similar predicament as they benchmark themselves against existing highincome
countries.
More recently, China has been singled out for the amount of waste it produces as its economy chalks up an
unprecedented performance, even as the world is going through a difficult time. China, according to an
International Herald Tribune report on Aug 13, has surpassed the US as "the world's largest producer of
household garbage". |
