Abstract

As we have fully entered the 21st century our planet has gained several advancements and improvements, while at the same time reaching an unprecedent level of prosperity for most of its inhabitants. At the same time the discrepancies of development between various parts of our planet have never been more visible due to the extraordinary development of all manners of communication and information sources. One of the most visible areas in which such discrepancies are hard to be ignored, due to its far-reaching impact is the management of waste products namely the waste produced by the daily activity of the population – municipal waste. There are countries which have implemented management systems which result in a net minus quantity of waste – meaning that that specific country imports waste in order to utilize it for its own industries and there are countries which have become storage facilities for the waste generated by other countries. This study has as main purpose a comparison of the systems in such countries from the most developed ones to the ones which are currently the least developed in this area, by taking a look at what the largest waste management companies in Zanzibar and Norway are doing and analyzing their strong and weak point while providing solutions for improvement.
