“…World population has been increasing in recent decades and is projected to continue increasing in the coming decades. The central baseline scenario projects global population will reach more than 10 billion people by 2060 (see Figure B.1), drawing on the "medium scenario" of the World Population Prospects (UN, 2017 [15]) and the central scenario of Eurostat projections for European countries (Eurostat, 2018[16]). The pace of population growth is slowing between 2011 and 2060, which contrasts with the past 40 years of strong growth.…”

In general, the materials tax rates will disproportionately affect materials processing sectors in regions with relatively low productivity, i.e.…”

“…One complication is that a carbon tax is actually imposed on carbon dioxide emissions, which are not strictly an input but rather a by-product of the production process and not physically present in the final good. To date, there is no jurisprudence or consensus in the literature on whether Article II:2(a) permits 6 To the extent this is true, it should be more so as the underlying climate measures increase in ambition. For one thing, the closer the economy comes to net zero carbon emissions, the less there is to rebate.…”

A Synergy Between Sustainable Solid Waste Management and the Circular Economy in Tanzania Cities: a Case of Scrap Metal Trade in Arusha City

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increased demand for secondary materials, particularly scrap metals, in cities due to development activities in both emerging economies and developing countries has increased the demand for recycling materials. It accelerated the growth of the circular economy and climate-smart development. This paper investigated the synergy between sustainable solid waste management and the circular economy in Tanzanian cities by examining the scrap business’s categories, quantity, market, and nature and the scrap business’s environmental benefits in Arusha. The study found that iron steel, cast iron, and aluminum were the most common scrap metal recovered and traded in Arusha. Offices and institutions, households, and garages were the primary sources of scraps. Over 314 tonnes of scrap metal were traded monthly in the city. The scrap business helped the steel industries save 300 tons of iron ore, 164 tons of coal, and 64 tons of bauxite while lowering their monthly energy consumption by 56%. Scrap metal trade contributes significantly to recycling, climate-smart, circular economy, and improving livelihoods. As a result, we call for a synchronized sustainable development and solid waste management system that connects product design, development manufacturing, and end-of-life products to improve the circular economy.
