This is the second edition of this publication which examines the lifecycle of products and the types of waste that are produced at each stage of the process, relating to production, distribution, consumption and disposal stages. It considers key issues and highlights global trends in waste production and management, using accessible graphics, maps and text both within and beyond the scope of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Wastes and their Disposal. The main objective is to raise public awareness of the need for environmentally sound waste management in order to help conserve natural resources and promote sustainable development. This publication has been produced by UNEP/GRID-Arendal in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Basel Convention.
