Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of waste management strategies for production and consumption in Asian countries and provides an overview of foreign research in this area. The factors influencing the formation and composition of waste are identified and analyzed in the context of regional specifics: demographic, social, economic, environmental, and institutional. The complexity of the Asian scenario is due to the growing population, rapid industrialization and urbanization, as well as changes in the composition of waste and the rate of its formation. The management mechanisms and technologies of waste management in Asia vary significantly depending on the level of economic and technological development of countries, environmental regulations, institutional factors that determine government regulation of this area and affect positive and negative motivation in the behavioral strategies of economic agents, the development of environmental awareness of the population and range from progressive to very conservative. The features of the processes of collection, transportation, processing and disposal (open burial, composting, incineration) in developed and developing Asian countries are considered.
