8 Critical Waste Problems in Asia In line with the economic growth and population increase, mainly in Asia, the amount of waste generation has been increasing worldwide, the quality of waste diversifying as well. The global waste generation is expected to more than double in 2050, compared to the 2010 level. In developing countries, cases of environmentally inappropriate disposal/recycling have been reported. [Estimated Total Waste Generation Worldwide ( )] Environmental pollution caused by inappropriate recycling in developing countries (unit: 0.1 billion tons) billion tons in billion tons in billion tons in 2050 A process of open burning of covered cables to recover copper wires for recycling Asia Europe North America South America Africa Oceania A person collecting valuables from open dumping site Source: Japan Industrial Waste Information Center Source: Studies on Estimated Amounts of Waste Generated in the World and Future Prospects, by Masaru Tanaka 8
