'Generating waste is a human condition. There is, however, very little real knowledge about this important issue, as the mishandling of wastes threatens lives and the environment. Therefore, I strongly recommend Professor Gillespie's book, as it is an in-depth, extremely competent holistic overview of waste which covers both its management, and its economic impact. The language is accessible to all interested in these issues, and the book gives a unique insight into waste policy, with great attention to detail that showcases Gillespie's vast knowledge in all environmental matters.'- Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Queen Mary University of London, UK
'Nature knows no waste, only humans do. The modern industrial world seems to have forgotten that natural and human systems are inextricably linked. Waste has been externalized causing huge environmental, economic and social costs. This book aims for reversing the trend. Taking a comparative and contextual perspective, Gillespie shows how smart policies can lead to minimizing waste and to creating material flows consistent with ecological flows. An important book, rich in detail, very accessible and with a powerful message.'- Klaus Bosselmann, University of Auckland, New Zealand
From human waste to nuclear waste, the question of how we must manage what we no longer want, in terms of either recycling or disposal, is one of the most pressing issues in environmental law. Alexander Gillespie addresses the gaps in previous literature by incorporating economics, philosophy and the ideal of sustainable development in order to provide context to the surrounding legal and policy considerations for the management of waste.
The book's premise is that all forms of waste are expanding exponentially, and are often of a hazardous nature. The author examines the size of the problem, considers how it is evolving, and assesses the legal and political implications. He then shows that existing solutions to reducing consumption and recycling are limited, and concludes by discussing potential ways forward.
Students and scholars with an interest in environmental law at the national, regional and international level will find this book to be of use. The book will also be of interest to practitioners looking to solve the issues surrounding waste and recycling.

THIS IS ANOTHER BRILLIANT BEST FRIEND FROM EDWARD ELGAR COVERING THE HITHERTO NEGLECTED ISSUE OF WASTE POLICY By Phillip Taylor MBE THIS IS ANOTHER BRILLIANT BEST FRIEND FROM EDWARD ELGAR COVERING THE HITHERTO NEGLECTED ISSUE OF WASTE POLICYAn appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green ChambersEdward Elgar Publishing is once again to be congratulated for raising another contemporary subject which involves us all: this time it is how we should deal with the subject of waste with the publication of ‘Waste Policy’ which all environmentalists will find absorbing reading.Over the years from the medieval castle’s kitchen midden (always normally outside the castle walls) to the wheelie bins of today (not quite so far out), the subject of how to deal with our waste has never really been treated with the seriousness it deserves … until now when we start finding ourselves short of space and the municipal muck heap becomes a serious political issue. Therefore, we welcome this formidable study by Alexander Gillespie which looks at comparative and contextual perspectives concerning waste policy and the inevitable ‘international regulation’ regime for certain types of waste.Gillespie reviews the subject matter (if we can call it that) from human waste and all its derivatives to nuclear waste raising the question of how we as a society must manage what we no longer want, in terms of either recycling or disposal. To say that this matter is one of the most pressing issues in national and international environmental law is quickly becoming an understatement as it has been on the political agenda for decades as the consumer and ‘the throw away’ society has begun to affect the planet in as big a way as the “doomwatchers” suggested as late as the 1970s.Gillespie grapples with what has been a noticeable gap in previous environmental literature by incorporating a thoughtful array of economics, philosophy and the ideal of sustainable development in his book to provide us with a suitable context for the surrounding legal and policy considerations on how to manage waste.The book’s main point is that all forms of waste are expanding exponentially, and are often of a hazardous nature: he is absolutely right but nothing has really been done about it in 20th century so it is now up to us. Gillespie examines the size of the problem in detail and then he goes on to consider how it is evolving today with a useful assessment of the legal and political implications, many of which are, frankly, very obvious to anyone who is aware of what we have been doing in the last few decades.What we particularly liked about Gillespie’s analysis is that he shows us that existing solutions to reducing consumption and recycling are limited, and concludes by discussing potential ways forward which will be of benefit to many, particularly those in local government as elected members or officers.Academics and students with an interest in environmental law at the national, regional and international level will find this book to be of special value for the content and suggestions put forward. It will also be of interest to practitioners interested in solving the issues surrounding waste and recycling and is highly recommended for both a specialist and a lay audience.
