This is not only the case for trade  in primary raw materials and consumer products but also for secondary  (recyclable) materials. With the rapid growth of the recycling sector  worldwide, trade in recyclables increased tremendously. It is striking  that most of this trade flows from developed to developing countries.  This book addresses the main causes of this typical trade pattern and  investigates its economic and environmental effects by carrying out  case studies on waste paper imports in India, waste plastics imports  in China, and used-tyre trade in Europe. The book concludes by  recommending policies that are aimed at preventing negative economic  and environmental effects potentially resulting from trade in  recyclables. The book offers new ideas to researchers who are involved  in international trade, material flows, and waste management, and  provides new insights for decision-makers who are interested in WTO  and the Basel Convention.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 February 2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792368984\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803553796236,"sku":"9780792368984","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792368984.jpg?v=1781755714","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792368984","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
