Abstract

This chapter examines the issues and achievements of policies towards waste and recycling in New Zealand, identifying implications for trade and other countries in Asia. Reducing waste and making better use of materials has a role in the sustainability of economic development, but the characteristics of a country’s economy affect the feasibility of recycling materials. A combination of institutional and legal changes has enabled New Zealand to decouple economic growth from waste disposed, but this achievement has depended on export of recovered materials to countries in Asia that are better placed to recycle them. The recycling of materials has implications for security of supply of scarce raw materials as well as for environmental management, and requires international co-operation that enables materials to move to where they can be used most effectively.
