The main tools of Waste Management Policies are: Direct regulation (command and control)

where a standard, procedure or process is specified, such as Hazardous Waste Regulations;

Market-based instruments (MBIs) such as taxes/subsidies and trading schemes which help reflect the value of

environmental resources, e.g. the landfill tax;

We see waste management as an important sector that needs to be promoted. Potentials in recycling industry need to be explored by the entrepreneurs. Governments should come forward to provide all kinds of incentives & supports to promote this sector. Tax incentives, interest subsidies or interest free loans, technical consultancy services and marketing support for waste recycling enterprises may be some of the measures that the government may consider, so that many more entrepreneurs would come forward as well as SMEs and Crafts would diversify into waste-management/recycling sector.

Technology/spending programmes, such as investment grants and subsidies, to encourage innovation and

investment in infrastructure, e.g. PFI funding to local authorities. This helps to overcome market failures and other barriers to the efficient level of investment.
