AB  - Future waste management in the UK will have to address the problem
of rising costs of waste disposal. The current financial costs of
landfill disposal represent an under pricing of the waste assimilative
capacity of the environment. Economic, social and political pressures
over the coming decade will serve to force up disposal costs closer to
the “true” economic cost to society. The cost rise will have
important positive ramifications for waste minimisation and waste
recycling. It is argued that rational decision making in the waste
management context has been made more difficult in the UK because of a
series of failures: information failure; lack of “systems”
thinking; institutional failure; lack of economic cost‐benefit thinking.
