dc.descriptionThis outlook report provides a regional assessment of waste and resource management conditions across Asia, examining generation patterns, disposal practices, governance structures, financing mechanisms, and policy instruments. It outlines the scale and composition of waste streams, highlights disparities between income levels and urban contexts, and documents reliance on land disposal alongside emerging recovery and recycling practices. The document reviews institutional arrangements, legislative frameworks, and economic tools used to influence behavior, as well as the role of the informal sector and private participation. It also presents indicators and data limitations affecting performance measurement. Overall, the report frames waste management as integral to sustainable development, climate mitigation, and resource efficiency within the Asian context.en
