    Solid Waste Management in Indian Ocean Islands & Seychelles

    Uploaded by

    Andre Suito
    The document discusses solid waste management issues in Indian Ocean island nations and Seychelles. It notes that as consumption has increased, so too has the amount of solid waste generated per capita. The costs of waste collection and disposal are rising, but funds to address this are limited. Poor waste management practices have led to increased flooding, disease vectors, and pollution. A range of policy options are being considered to more effectively and sustainably manage the growing waste problems.
